Product Description
Introducing the RAVN XS: Compact Scandinavian Design with a Modern Silhouette
Experience elevated outdoor relaxation with the RAVN XS. Designed with the same modern, box-style Scandinavian architecture as the RAVN series, the RAVN XS delivers an authentic sauna experience in an ultra-compact footprint. Comfortably accommodating 1–2 bathers, it is ideal for patios, urban backyards, and smaller outdoor spaces where efficiency and design matter.
Premium Construction & Materials
The RAVN XS is crafted for long-term outdoor performance and visual refinement.
Thermowood Construction – Thermowood is created by heat treating Scandinavian softwood to temperatures ranging from 180–230 °C in special chamber kilns for up to 96 hours. Steam is used as a protective gas and helps prevent the wood from splitting or becoming damaged during treatment.
Learn more about Thermowood in our FAQ section.
Thermowood’s Characteristics & Qualities – This heat-treatment process alters the timber’s internal structure, resulting in several key performance benefits:
Dimensionally Stable – Deep moisture and resin removal significantly reduces swelling, cracking, and shrinkage. Thermowood does not secrete sap or resin, even at high sauna temperatures.
Environmentally Friendly – Produced from PEFC-certified Scandinavian forests using only heat and steam, with no chemicals or additives.
Resistance to Rot and Fungi – The breakdown of hemicellulose removes nutrients required for rot and fungal growth.
Increased Longevity – Heat treatment extends the lifespan of the wood, helping ensure your sauna performs for decades.
Improved Insulation – Increased porosity enhances the wood’s natural insulating properties.
- Robust Wall Construction: Built with 42 mm (1.65") thick solid wood walls to ensure excellent heat retention and structural durability.
- Durable Roofing: Finished with PVC/EPDM roofing for dependable weather protection. Roofing is offered as an add-on, or customers may apply their own custom waterproofing solution. (sold separately)
