When investing in a high-quality home sauna, wood selection plays an essential role in the overall experience. The wood determines not only durability and safety but also the look, aroma, and comfort of every session.
HKXSC uses two top-tier sauna woods:
✅ Canadian Hemlock – clean, modern, and versatile
✅ African Mahogany – rich, luxurious, built for extreme environments
Below, we compare both options and help you select the perfect match for your home and lifestyle.
