Cedar Sauna
Growing up along the shores of Lake Superior meant
that a traditional Finnish sauna was part your life. In
fact some homes did not have a shower or a tub in the
home. Instead a Finnish sauna with its cold water
spicket or shower took their place. Most all saunas
were built by the home owner using local designs. A
cedar sauna was the most common type that was
constructed. However many were also built using
Eastern Hemlock.
A cedar sauna was the most preferred type. Northern
white cedar is used to line the cedar chests that
people stored their clothes in. When the clothes were
taken from the chest they had the great cedar smell
that we all enjoyed. A cedar sauna also provides same
great aroma as it was heated. Frequently it was heated
with white cedar. A cedar fire will snap loudly and
quickly give a hot fire heating the cedar sauna in a
matter of minutes even in the dead of winter.
Once the cedar sauna was heated, water was ladled
on the stove rocks releasing moisture that further
increased the cedar aroma. A cedar sauna had more
benefits that just a great aroma. White cedar is a
softwood that is very easy to work with but probably
one of its best features is that it resists rot even in the
wettest conditions. A cedar sauna will last a long time
despite the recurring cycles of high heat and moisture
that would cause most wood products to breakdown
and rot. Sauna benches, buckets, main door and ladle
all were constructed of cedar as well.
In most cases the sauna walls were double sided with
old time saunas having cedar logs on the outside and
cedar walls on the inside all of which provide the
cedar sauna with great insulation. Floors were also
constructed with cedar boards that were spaced to
allow the water to naturally drain through them. Below
the cedar boards is a concrete slab or crushed stone
that directs water away from the sauna In some
locations that have poorly drained soils a drainage
system must be built beneath the sauna to carry
excess water away. A good cedar sauna also has a
good door that insulates and seals the heat inside.
Because cedar is a good insulator and very light
weight wood it is ideal for constructing a sauna door.
Choosing a good sauna stove is critical to making
your sauna perform to its full potential. A good water
proof firebox is important to assure that when you
ladle water on the stove rocks it does not put your fire
out. A good sauna stove will have the strength to hold
enough rocks to provide the radiant heat that gives
the cedar sauna all its great health benefits. If you live
in an area where a wood fired sauna is not feasible
you can still build a cedar sauna that uses an electric
sauna heater. There are a number of manufactures
that build good quality electric sauna stoves.
A cedar sauna is the best type of sauna no matter
what type of heat source you use. A sauna is a great
way to totally cleanse your body and improve your
physical and mental well being.
