A standard Sven Commercial sauna bench sample showing our unique stepped cross rail design. This ensures the weight of the sauna users is transferred directly to the framework and bench support modules, and is not carried by fixings alone. All fixings used in the production of Sven commercial sauna benching are stainless steel. We use Obechi timber for our benching. This is a West African hardwood used in the sauna industry for its ability to stay stable whilst dry, humid, hot or cold. It is one of the least dense timbers in the world and therefore does not retain heat as readily as all other timbers, which makes for a comfortable touch temperature when the ambient temperature is 85⁰C plus.
Standard 515mm wide 5 slat Sven Commercial Sauna Bench Sample. This can be ordered per linear metre, or individual slats can be ordered.
Two special grooves 1mm deep are machined into the underside of each bench slat. This provides space for a specialist polymer adhesive which creates a near indestructible bond to the framework, and also serves to protect the stainless steel fixing. Note each individual fixing is also hidden inside a deep countersink to further protect it from water damage.
We also offer a range of sauna benches with a special curved front design.
Each fixing is protected from water damage by the countersink created in the Crossrail by our purpose built multi-bore machine.
Our purpose built hydraulic work station clamps all the components of a commercial sauna bench together whilst gluing and fixing takes place. This ensures the benches are tight and exceptionally strong.

Sven Saunas manufacture a range of three tier, two tier and single tier support modules to support the sauna benches. If yours is not a Sven sauna we can manufacture bespoke modules to suit your bench height. Contact us for more information.
Each support module is glued and assembled using stainless steel fixings. Adjustable feet are fitted to the lower rail to protect the timber from water damage and also ensure a perfectly plumb installation.
Considering they take the weight of your customers, it is important to check the condition of your supports at least every three months. This area of a sauna is often overlooked, which can lead to benches collapsing under load.
