Sustainability not only means to think about where our materials come from, but where they will go at the end of their lifetime. Does it contain toxic chemicals? Will it really be recycled? Is it biodegradable in a landfill? Somehow these questions slip our mind in relation to our homes and other products like saunas. We assume they will last forever and so we pass a blind eye to plastics and chemical treatment. Nothing lasts forever and each renovation or demolition reminds us of the surreal amount of non-recyclable, non biodegradable and toxic materials that we use.

Even though plastic bags are banned in the supermarket, the construction industry uses plastics throughout the entire build process. Our saunas, however, are completely plastic free! We replace traditional plastic weather and vapour barriers with environmentally friendly Magnum Boards. A mineral board made from magnesium oxide that is sustainable sourced from surface mines.
