Uniconfort uses imported Canadian wood as the raw material for our sauna rooms. These high-quality woods are over 100 years old, and mainly two types of material are available.
Western red cedar is one of the most valuable species in Canada, which is usually reddish brown. Red cedar has the feature of high natural durability, excellent stability, and long service life, which is not easily deformed. In addition, this wood material is also suitable for high-humidity environments and can repel cockroaches and moths. Moreover, Western red cedar is very popular in the global market due to its non-chemical treatment and pure natural characteristics.
Canadian hemlock has a lighter color, stronger strength and hardness, which is easy to undergo anti-corrosion coating and pressure treatment. This wood material has a straight and fine-lined texture, which is easy to cut and shape. The hemlock does not crack easily due to the bending strength and shear strength, which features the perfect combination of strength and appearance. The Canadian hemlock can undergo a variety of surface coatings, and its natural color and multiple properties lead to prior choice for high-end furniture.
In addition, the wood imported by Uniconfort undergoes a combination of high-frequency drying and microwave drying processes. The drying time of the raw material is 7-15 days, which balances the inner and outer moisture content of the wood, leading to better processing performance, and the wood will not crack easily.
