Description

The Alder Grace™ 2×3 T&G is a tongue-and-groove sauna board milled from alder, a wood long favored in sauna construction for its low resin content and even heat response. Each board measures 27 mm thick by 64 mm wide — a profile that balances structural rigidity with the gentle flex that comes with repeated heating and cooling cycles.

The Grace profile features a large-gap design, which allows for meaningful airflow between installed boards. That ventilation gap helps moisture escape the wall and ceiling cavities during and after a session, supporting a drier, longer-lasting installation. Boards are available in ten lengths — 1 through 10 feet — so you can select exactly what your layout requires and minimize on-site cutting and waste.

Key Features

• Alder construction: low resin content means the wood stays cool to the touch and does not exude sticky sap under sauna heat
• 27 mm × 64 mm (2×3) profile provides a board sturdy enough for wall and ceiling panelling without adding unnecessary mass
• Tongue-and-groove milling locks adjacent boards together for a clean, gap-free face while still allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally
• Large-gap Grace profile promotes airflow behind the finished surface, helping moisture leave the cavity and extending the life of the installation
• Ten length options (1 ft – 10 ft) let you match board length to your room dimensions and reduce offcuts

1'

• 292 mm finished length — suited to accent courses, borders, or tight fill sections

2'

• Approximately 610 mm — useful for shorter wall runs or horizontal accent banding

3'

• Approximately 914 mm — a practical length for benching areas and lower wall sections

4'

• Approximately 1219 mm — covers standard lower-wall heights in many prefab sauna layouts

5'

• Approximately 1524 mm — spans common ceiling widths in compact sauna rooms

6'

• Approximately 1829 mm — aligns with standard interior wall heights for efficient full-length runs

7'

• Approximately 2134 mm — suited to taller wall applications with minimal end-joining

8'

• Approximately 2438 mm — matches common stud-bay lengths, reducing the need for splicing on long walls

9'

• Approximately 2743 mm — useful in larger custom rooms where long unbroken runs are preferred

10'

• Approximately 3048 mm — maximum length option for expansive walls or vaulted ceiling planes

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Sauna wood is not free shipping. Length, piece count, profile, and weight set the rate. These are the Bathing Brands contiguous-US flat rates. Canada is the same table plus $100. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

Checkout charges the 8' piece-count table (contiguous US). Canada is the same table plus $100. Boards over 8' use that same checkout rate; dock or liftgate extras are a follow-up. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

BOARDS UP TO 8'

Under 40 pieces generally ships FedEx Ground in cardboard. Over 40 pieces generally ships LTL with a liftgate on a wood pallet. The longest board in the order sets the rate tier.

• Under 19 boards — $195
• 20–39 boards — $395
• 40–99 boards — $495
• 100–299 boards — $695
• 300–499 boards — $895
• 500–799 boards — $995
• 800–999 boards — $1,295

BOARDS OVER 8' UP TO 10'

These lengths ship LTL on a wood pallet. They do not qualify for a liftgate — you need a dock, machinery, or hand offload on site. Carriers allow about one hour to unload before extra fees.

• Under 19 boards — $295
• 20–39 boards — $495
• 40–99 boards — $595
• 100–299 boards — $795
• 300–499 boards — $995
• 500–799 boards — $1,095
• 800–999 boards — $1,395

HOW THIS SHIPS

• We pack for a safe arrival at the lowest rate that fits the order.
• Boards over 8' carry a surcharge because long crates cost more to move than a standard skid.
• Heaters, doors, or accessories on the same order can offset some of that freight.
