What materials are best for Sauna door that opens to steam shower?


We’re doing a residential bathroom where a 4′x6′ Sauna Room opens up into a Steam Shower. I’ve heard it’s best to avoid wood in the Steam Shower, but what can we do when the Sauna interior is Cedar, and the Steam Shower must be all glass & ceramic tile? Will a Wood Framed Glass Door hold up over time? Appreciate any advice anyone might have!

I expect a glass door with a frame made from cedar, cypress ,redwood or black locust would all do the job. The other option would be aluminum and glass though it will cost you. Have some space in the grooves that hold the glass panels so that the wood can expand and contract, they even make things called space balls that keep the panel centered in this type of situation.
Best of luck,
