Know before you buy
This wax is specifically formulated for untreated or thoroughly cleaned wooden sauna surfaces. If your wood has existing finishes, they must be sanded down to the raw wood before application to ensure the wax can properly penetrate the grain.
The wax is designed to protect the wood while allowing it to breathe naturally. Once dry, it enhances the wood's warmth and provides a water-repellent barrier without leaving a sticky or heavy residue.
For optimal results, one to two thin layers are typically sufficient. Ensure the first coat is completely dry—which takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours—before applying a second layer.
The tinted waxes are designed to provide a lasting aesthetic update while preserving the wood. While the color is durable, high-heat environments may eventually require a touch-up application to maintain the depth of the tint and the protective barrier.
Yes, it is formulated to withstand the heat and humidity of both saunas and steam rooms. It creates a protective barrier that repels water and prevents the wood from drying out or cracking under these conditions.
You can use a soft brush or a sponge to apply the wax evenly along the wood grain. Work in small sections to ensure full coverage and wipe away any excess product to prevent pooling.
