Comparing Aspen, Cedar, and Hemlock
Aspen wood, a thermowood* (like what’s used in the Hekla sauna), is generally considered more hypoallergenic than cedar.
Aspen wood, as used in Hekla saunas, is naturally low in resin and aromatic compounds. Because it releases minimal scent and contains fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared with cedar, it is less likely to trigger sensitivities in individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. Cedar’s natural oils and aroma, while pleasant to many, can be a mild irritant for some users. For environments where allergen sensitivity is a concern, aspen is often preferred for its low-odor, low-resin, and low-irritant characteristics.
*Thermowood is wood that has been subjected to a heat treatment process that involves heating the wood to high temperatures (usually between 200-220°C) in the absence of oxygen. This process changes the chemical and physical properties of the wood, making it more durable and resistant to decay. Some potential advantages of using Thermowood in a sauna include:
- Increased durability: The heat treatment process makes Thermowood more resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage, so it may last longer than untreated wood in a damp, humid environment like a sauna.
- Improved stability:The heat treatment process also changes the wood’s cellular structure, making it less prone to swelling and shrinking, which can improve its stability and reduce the risk of warping or cracking.
- Enhanced Appearance: The heat treatment process can also change the colour and texture of the wood, giving it a more uniform and attractive appearance.
- Increased resistance to fire: Thermowood has a higher ignition temperature and a lower rate of flame spread than untreated wood, which makes it safer to use in a sauna.
