B-Grade Sauna - Functionality at a Fair Price

We build B-Grade Saunas (also known as Second grade saunas) because we believe in making responsible use of natural resources. This type of wood may have minor visual imperfections, but it retains full structural strength, heat insulation, and the natural scent of timber. Instead of discarding such material, we give it a second life - in the form of affordable, sustainable saunas. It’s our way of promoting conscious consumption and environmental care.

Our B-Grade Barrel Saunas are crafted from carefully selected downgraded wood - materials with minor surface flaws that don’t affect the sauna’s strength, durability, or usability. These Saunas from downgraded wood offer the same thermal performance and relaxing experience, but with a more natural, rustic character - and a lower price tag.

What is B-Grade or Second Grade Wood?

This is timber that didn’t meet visual standards for premium saunas but is still perfectly usable. We hand-select every board to ensure that each Second grade sauna we build meets high standards of functionality and structural reliability.

Possible Visual Characteristics:

  • Small cracks or chips that don’t impact integrity
  • Dark knots that are solid and won’t fall out
  • Rough or unsurfaced areas
  • Slight warping within acceptable limits
  • Minor edge splinters
  • Variations in colour tone

Warranty:

We offer a warranty that covers the structural integrity of the sauna. Please note: the visual appearance of the wood is not covered under warranty - any aesthetic imperfections are already reflected in the reduced price.

Important to know!

Wood is a natural, living material with inherent visual features such as knots, cracks, and others.

In saunas of the base price category, up to 25% of boards may have minor visual imperfections.
In saunas of the 2nd grade category at a reduced price, 25% to 90% of boards may have visual imperfections.

Functionally, both categories are exactly the same - the only difference is appearance!
Each board is selected manually to meet technical requirements, even if the appearance varies. This approach helps reduce waste and promotes the careful use of natural resources.

Below you’ll find examples of typical visual imperfections found in B-Grade or downgraded sauna wood.
