How Saunas Are Made: Inside the Sauna Manufacturing Process

Introduction: Crafting Wellness, One Sauna at a Time

Have you ever wondered what goes into building a sauna that lasts for decades? At SaunaDepot.ca, every sauna is a product of expert craftsmanship and premium materials. This blog takes you behind the scenes of the sauna manufacturing process, from wood selection to the final quality inspection.

Step 1: Selecting the Right Wood

The foundation of every sauna is high-quality timber. We use Canadian Red Cedar, Nordic Spruce, and Hemlock, known for their durability and resistance to moisture.

  • Why Cedar? Its natural oils resist rot and provide a soothing aroma.
  • Why Spruce? Light, strong, and perfect for Canadian weather.

Step 2: Precision Cutting and Shaping

Once the wood is sourced, it’s cut into precise panels. Each piece undergoes kiln-drying to remove excess moisture, preventing warping and ensuring long-lasting performance.

Step 3: Frame Construction

The structure of the sauna—whether a barrel, cube, or Luna design—is assembled with tongue-and-groove panels for airtight insulation.

  • Barrel Saunas: Curved panels for heat efficiency.
  • Cube Saunas: Modern aesthetics with large windows.

Step 4: Installing Sauna Heaters

Every sauna needs a reliable heat source. We offer:

  • Wood-Burning Heaters – Traditional and perfect for off-grid setups.
  • Electric Heaters – Convenient and easy to control.

Step 5: Insulation and Sealing

Proper insulation is critical for energy efficiency and consistent heat. Our saunas feature double-sealed joints and heat-resistant gaskets to ensure no heat escapes.

Step 6: Quality Control and Finishing Touches

Before shipping, every sauna undergoes a strict inspection process:

  • Heat Test: Ensures optimal temperature retention.
  • Aesthetic Check: Smooth sanding, natural oil finishes.
  • Durability Review: Stability and weather resistance confirmed.
