Engineered to respect the heat.
- Layered, not solidA premium thermo-alder surface is bonded over a stable core. You see clear, rich alder; underneath, the build resists the forces that bend solid boards.
- Flat walls, tight jointsBuilt for dimensional stability: less cupping, twisting and gapping as the room swings from cold to 90 °C and back.
- Smarter with timberThe core makes good use of wood that would otherwise be offcuts, so more of every tree ends up in a sauna.
- A registered originalRespect is protected by EU registered design. In New Zealand you'll only find it at FinnSauna.
Clean shadow line. Hidden fixing.
A stepped tongue and groove that leaves a crisp, even shadow gap between boards. Fix through the tongue and every nail disappears behind the next panel. Runs vertical or horizontal.
