Importance
Cumaru Wood
Selecting the right materials is critical to the sauna’s Durability, Efficiency & Aesthetic Appeal. We present our recommended options based on quality & client needs.
Our Harvia commercial grade electric sauna heaters are capable of +185 degree temperatures in a short amount of time.
Cumaru Wood
Cumaru Wood
Our custom saunas are designed using premium Cumaru wood, lovingly called 'Brazilian Teak.'
The wood's tight grain and natural oils make it incredibly dense and durable. Its impressive resistance to rot, decay, and minimal expansion & contractino ensures it’s perfect for sauna & cold plunge construction.
The Cumaru Advantage
The union of Cumaru hardwood & precision sliding dovetail joints maximizes heat retention.
Cumaru’s dense grain & natural oils resist heat absorption far better than Cedar or Nordic Spruce, while the dovetail construction eliminates gaps between staves, locking warmth inside & ensuring uncompromising performance.
Lower Cost & Consistent Temps.
Our cold plunge pools maintain a consistent temperature thanks to a cutting-edge water chiller system. Unlike traditional cold plunge pools or pods that rely on ice, this advanced chiller ensures steady temperatures and can be customized to suit each user's preference.
Traditional Stave + Inherent Flaws

Traditional Barrel Sauna Staves
Traditional Barrel Sauna construction using a Convex & Concave interface between boards. Even in arid climates the boards will separate from expansion & contraction which allows heat to escape the sauna.
Separated Shell & Wall Staves
Traditional Barrel Sauna Staves
Traditional Barrel Sauna Staves
This sauna operates in an arid climate with consistent temperature and humidity. After approximately four years of use, the shell now exhibits noticeable gaps between the boards. The staves and wall boards are secured by steel compression bands, which naturally allow for expansion and contraction over time, leading to this gradual separation.
Visible Separation
Traditional Barrel Sauna Staves
Visible Separation
As the compression bands expand, the stave joints begin to separate, creating gaps that allow heat to escape from the sauna. This not only reduces the internal temperature but also increases operational costs. A simple rule to remember is: if light is visible from the inside, the sauna lacks proper insulation. Or as we like to say, 'If you see light coming in, you're seeing money going out."
Tongue & Groove Joints + Efficacy
Tongue & Groove Stave & Wall Boards
Higher Fabrication Cost, Lower Operating Cost
Tongue & Groove Stave & Wall Boards
Our Tongue & Groove Joints have the ability to expand and contract while not separating. There is a a small "Clearance" gap between the male & female parts of the joint. This creates a more consistent internal temperature which in turn reduces operating costs.
Tongue & Groove Joint Pros & Cons
Higher Fabrication Cost, Lower Operating Cost

The Pros of T&G Joints plus the use of Cumaru Wood include
- High strength & durability
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Secure connection creating a insulated space without adding insulation.
The Cons of T&G Joints with the use of Cumaru Wood are limited to
- Time consuming to create.
- Increased tooling costs.
- Increased labor costs.

- While the joint takes time to construct, its design effectively minimizes air leakage from the space. This ensures better insulation and leads to reduced operating costs over time.
- The T&G Joint + Cumaru is more than visually attractive. Cumaru is inherently insulating since it does not absorb heat.

- When the T&G Joint & Cumaru are merged together, they will withstand the "test of time" even after years of use.
