About our Alder Bench Boards   

Alder is a popular wood choice in traditional saunas because of its natural qualities and a low risk of twisting and warping. Alder has a beautiful light brown colour with warm pink undertones. The subtle scent resembles that of freshly cut hay that many find pleasant in the sauna. Alder does not overheat and has water repellent properties, making it suitable to be used in hot and humid environments.

Alder SHP Sauna Bench Board Dimensions     

Our SHP profile is the standard timber profile for sauna bench boards, which is a rectangular profile with radiused corners, usually R2, R3 or R4 (2mm, 3mm or 4mm radii on each corner). The bench board radius value pertains to the smoothness of the board edge (e.g. R2 = 2mm radius on bench board edge). The 28mm thickness of the bench boards is important to prevent warping and twisting over time.

Key information on your selected product:

• Thickness: 28mm 
• Width: 90mm 
• Package Size: Pack of 4
• Radius: R4

Please note that as a natural product, timber has some colour variation between different packs and batches.

Wastage Allowance for Alder SHP Sauna Bench Boards

Our Alder sauna timber is of A-grade quality, characterised by their durable, knot-free and low risk of splintering properties. As such, we recommend a wastage allowance of 15% for our alder SHP sauna bench boards. This also takes into account any potential risk of damage that can occur during transportation.

Shipping Information on Sauna Timber

Depending on the size and quantity of your sauna timber order, the shipping costs may vary and will be calculated at checkout. Shipping costs also differ between UK Mainland, Highland and Island postcodes. Many of our timber products will be shipped using a palletised shipping service due to their big and bulky nature and may require a kerbside drop or handballing off the freight vehicles. Please take time to read our Shipping and Delivery Information carefully before placing an order for our Alder SHP bench boards.

Please note that due to certain constraints of our shipping networks, we usually ship timbers of up to 2400m lengths, beyond those lengths the costs for shipping will increase quite significantly. If you do require longer timber lengths, our shipping calculator will indicate associated costs for such shipping.

If we do not have your required length, but have a longer length available, to avoid higher shipping rates, it is worth considering our cutting service. You will still need to purchase the full length, but for a small fee, we can cut this down to your desired length to help reduce shipping costs. The off-cut will be added onto the pallet.

For longer lengths or our cutting service, please call or email our Customer Service Team who will be happy to arrange alternatives (+44 (0) 20 8050 2895 or support@finnmarksauna.com).
