Design department option library
Sauna material options for custom builds.
Wood is checked first. After the material direction is clear, our design department records roof, glass, lighting, bench layout, heater route, hardware, and accessory scope before drawing and quotation confirmation.
Wood materials first
Start selection with the wood, then choose the parts around it.
These are the wood directions buyers compare most often. Red cedar and hemlock are called out because they are higher-value materials and customers often ask for document evidence.
Wood document check
Red cedar and hemlock evidence stays with the material file.
For red cedar and hemlock projects, our team keeps origin, certification, and import records with the buyer handoff file. The exact document set is confirmed by material batch and destination market.
View document previewsBuyer file use
Wood documents are checked before the quote file is locked.
For higher-value wood choices, the file is not treated as decoration on the page. It is used by the sales, design, and order teams when the material direction, destination market, and packing file are confirmed.
| Material decision | Evidence kept with the file | What the buyer should check | When to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red cedar outdoor rooms | Certificate of origin and PEFC chain-of-custody record | Canadian source reference, grade direction, surface tone, and whether the project needs certificate copies for buyer records. | Before wood reservation and final quotation. |
| Hemlock indoor or infrared rooms | Canadian hemlock import inspection record | Species confirmation, light-color finish expectation, knot tolerance, and batch traceability for the order file. | Before production drawing confirmation. |
| Distributor or private-label orders | Material notes, label notes, manual route, and packing file | Which documents need to travel with the buyer file, carton labels, manuals, and after-sales spare-part notes. | Before PI, packing list, and label artwork are locked. |
| Hotel, spa, or project orders | Wood direction, heater voltage route, glass layout, and installation notes | Whether the material choice matches outdoor exposure, maintenance plan, local voltage, and project handoff requirements. | Before the approved drawing is released to production. |
The final document package depends on the selected batch, destination market, and buyer-file requirements. CSauna confirms the exact file set before production starts.
Wood selection matrix
Choose the wood by project risk, not only by color.
This matrix is used before quotation so the buyer, design department, and order team agree on the wood direction, exposure level, document need, and maintenance expectation. Red cedar and hemlock stay the priority materials because they carry the highest buyer-trust value.
| Wood material | Best-fit project use | Buyer checks before quotation | Evidence or file note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red cedar | Premium outdoor, resort, dealer showroom, and high-value private-label lines | Origin evidence, grade direction, surface tone, outdoor coating, certificate copy need | Certificate of origin and PEFC chain-of-custody record |
| Thermo hemlock | Warmer-tone cabin or indoor/outdoor programs where buyers want hemlock with darker color | Treatment specification, color tolerance, exterior exposure, maintenance route | Treatment/batch note plus material confirmation in the order file |
| Hemlock | Indoor rooms, infrared rooms, clean light-color cabins, and controlled outdoor builds | Knot tolerance, light tone, batch traceability, moisture and surface finish expectation | Canadian hemlock import inspection record |
| Thermo pine | Outdoor programs needing a darker economical wood direction with visible knots | Treatment class, knot level, coating, roof protection, water exposure | Treatment and coating notes confirmed before drawing lock |
| Pine | Price-sensitive dealer programs, sample lines, and projects where visible knots are acceptable | Knot tolerance, coating, maintenance plan, buyer expectation on color and durability | Material note, coating note, and maintenance language in buyer file |
| Hinoki | Premium indoor or selected high-end projects where tone, grain, and scent story matter | Availability, grade, fragrance expectation, surface tone, project budget | Batch availability and grade note before quotation |
| Japanese cedar | Outdoor or semi-outdoor projects needing straight texture and lighter cedar direction | Source direction, texture, color, outdoor protection, comparison with red cedar | Material source note and finish confirmation |
| Rustic cedar | Outdoor projects where knotty cedar texture is part of the visual direction | Knot level, rustic appearance acceptance, coating, roof protection, certificate need | Cedar batch note plus visual sample confirmation |
The final material file can include certificate copies, import records, batch notes, finish samples, coating notes, packing requirements, and maintenance language. The exact file set depends on wood species, destination market, and whether the order is a sample, dealer line, hotel project, or private-label program.
Wood certificate FAQ
Use certificates as buyer-file evidence, not decoration.
Red cedar and hemlock documents are most useful when they are tied to the model code, selected batch, destination market, packing file, and approval timing.
How does CSauna use the red cedar certificate of origin?
For red cedar projects, the certificate of origin is kept with the material discussion so the buyer can review source direction before wood reservation, drawing confirmation, and order-file approval.
What does the red cedar PEFC record help confirm?
The PEFC chain-of-custody record supports buyer review of red cedar sourcing evidence. It is paired with the model code, selected wood batch, destination market, label language, and packing file when the buyer requests document copies.
How is the Canadian hemlock import inspection record used?
For hemlock, indoor sauna, and infrared room projects, the import inspection record helps the buyer file connect species confirmation, batch traceability, surface tone, knot tolerance, and production handoff notes.
Are wood documents confirmed before every sauna order?
The exact document set depends on wood species, batch, destination market, and project type. CSauna confirms which certificate copies, import records, batch notes, finish samples, packing notes, and maintenance language belong in the buyer file before production starts.
