Hekla

Designed to enhance your well-being, Hekla saunas offer a unique wellness experience. They are the perfect way to unwind, spend quality time with family and friends, and cultivate a happier, healthier, and more tranquil lifestyle.

Sustainable Construction and Superior Materials

Hekla saunas are crafted with sustainability in mind, utilizing 100% natural Thermowood. This wood is sourced from certified Nordic Spruce in Northern European forests that adhere to sustainable growing practices.

The wood achieves its enhanced performance through a chemical-free heat treatment process, relying solely on the controlled application of heat and steam. Thermally modified Nordic Spruce is a stable and durable material, significantly surpassing conventional timber, while also offering a pleasing aesthetic.

For added protection and improved insulation, the sauna roof is equipped with roof shingles.

Key Advantages of Thermowood

Thermowood is created through a heat treatment process that involves heating the wood to very high temperatures, typically ranging from 392°F to 428°F, in an environment devoid of oxygen.

This procedure alters the wood's chemical and physical characteristics, resulting in greater durability and improved resistance to rot and decay. The use of Thermowood in sauna construction offers several potential benefits, including:

Superior Durability

The heat treatment makes Thermowood highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage. This extended lifespan is especially beneficial in the damp, humid environment of a sauna, outperforming untreated wood.

Enhanced Stability

By altering the wood's cellular structure, the heat treatment significantly reduces its tendency to swell or shrink. This improved stability minimizes the risk of warping or cracking.

Attractive Finish

The thermal modification process changes the wood's color and texture, resulting in a more uniform and visually appealing surface.

Increased Fire Resistance

Thermowood is a safer option for saunas as it possesses a higher ignition temperature and a slower rate of flame spread compared to untreated wood.

Sustainability

Thermowood can be a more sustainable option compared to untreated wood. This is because its production, which is dependent on the wood source, requires less energy and results in lower emissions.
