Double-Sided Sauna Door Handle – Alder Wood

A functional, heat-resistant sauna door handle designed for reliable use in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

Made from solid alder wood, it remains comfortable to the touch even when the sauna is fully heated.

Why Alder?

Alder is widely used in sauna interiors because of its stable physical properties.

• Resin-free (no sticky sap leakage)
• Low thermal conductivity (does not overheat)
• Resistant to humidity and temperature cycles
• Dimensionally stable over time

Unlike some softwoods, alder will not release resin or create hot surface spots.

Surface Finish

The handle is treated with specialized sauna oil.

Oil penetrates the wood fibers and protects against moisture while allowing the material to remain breathable and natural to the touch.

Unlike lacquer, oil:

• does not form a plastic-like film
• does not crack under heat
• can be easily refreshed
