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.

Please Note:

All load-bearing and structural components are sturdy and reliable. In terms of performance, these saunas are on par with more expensive models - but they come at a lower cost thanks to relaxed appearance criteria.

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