5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

5.1. CARE OF THERMOWOOD®

Vingberg saunas are manufactured from the highest-quality Scandinavian pine, addi onally subjected to thermal treatment in accordance with technology patented in Finland ThermoWood®. Applica on of ThermoWood® in construc on of saunas increases dimensional stability of wood.

ThermoWood® also shows very high resistance to weather and is maintenance- free, if greying is allowed. To prevent wood from gaining grey nt, it can be coated with stained or pigmented wood oil, wax, stain, varnish or paint which all contain UV filter (once-twice a year), e.g. Bona Decking Oil or Adler Plus Lasur.

ThermoWood boards are brown in cross-sec on, therefore even if they were not protected with oil for a long me, it is possible to restore their original appearance. Please note that regular protec on of wood is much less labour- intensive compared to cleaning and renova on of its coa ng a er a longer period. Regular cleaning of boards from dust and debris significantly extends the period when protec on is effec ve.
Before maintenance clean wood surface thoroughly with sponge or plas c coarse brush and dry.
NOTE! Provide protec on to external surface of sauna only.

5.2. CARE OF SAUNA INTERIOR

Clean sauna a er each use. To keep the interior clean, use agents such as semi-liquid grey soap or products dedicated specifically for sauna care, e.g. Harvia Sauna Cleanser.
For maintenance and protec on from soiling (sauna chairs and floor) use, e.g. Harvia paraffin oil for sauna impregna on. Note: the oil makes ThermoWood darker, therefore before use, please check effects in a less visible area.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains and signs of discoloura on by slightly sanding them with fine sandpaper. In summer when sauna is not used it is advisable to put a bucket of water inside to reduce drying of wood.
