European Aspen

Aspen, or Common Aspen (Populus tremula), belongs to the willow family and is bright in color. Its natural habitat is the cooler regions of Europe and Asia, including Iceland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and northern Russia all the way to northern Japan.

Because Aspen is naturally non-toxic, non-allergenic, resin-free and moisture-resistant, it is “friendly” to all. This makes it a very popular sauna wood choice for indoor and infrared saunas as well as public saunas, hotels, and also health club saunas. Further, Aspen can withstand microorganism attacks by bacteria and fungi, making it one of the cleanest sauna wood types around.
