What types of saunas do you offer ?
We take pride in offering an extensive range of saunas tailored to our customers’ preferences. Understanding that each individual has unique needs when it comes to sauna experiences, we have curated a diverse selection.Our offerings include traditional Finnish saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, and wood-burning saunas, each providing distinct benefits and experiences. For instance, traditional Finnish saunas utilize dry heat and high temperatures to promote relaxation and detoxification, while infrared saunas employ heat waves that penetrate deeper into the body’s tissues, delivering therapeutic advantages.Furthermore, we provide a variety of custom-designed and pre-built saunas to meet your specific requirements. Our sauna installation services can accommodate nearly any location, whether it be a poolside sauna or a private master bath sauna.
No matter the size or shape of your space, we have a sauna option that will fit perfectly. Our saunas range in size from compact one-person models to larger multi-person designs. The minimum amount of floor space you need for a sauna is typically around 4′ x 4′, but we recommend having at least an extra foot on each side for easy access and movement inside the saunas.
Whether you prefer traditional options like cedar, pine, or spruce, or modern choices, we will collaborate with you to create the perfect custom sauna.Cedar: Naturally resistant to moisture and decay, cedar offers a delightful aroma. Our handpicked cedar is knot-free, guaranteeing both durability and safety. Its natural oils also repel insects, making it ideal for outdoor saunas. Pine: Another popular and affordable option, pine provides a mild fragrance and durability. Hemlock: Known for its durability, hemlock is less prone to warping, though it lacks the aromatic qualities of cedar. Cypress: While not as fragrant as cedar, cypress is highly durable and resistant to decay. Redwood: Over time, redwood darkens and showcases exceptional durability.
We offer multiple sauna heating options: modern electric sauna heaters, traditional Finnish wood-burning sauna heaters, and high-quality infrared sauna heaters. Each type of heater has its unique benefits and features, allowing you to choose the best option for your needs.Our modern electric sauna heaters are energy-efficient and easy to use. They provide consistent heat, making them a great choice for longer sauna sessions. For those who prefer a more traditional experience, our Finnish wood-burning sauna heaters offer an authentic and rustic feel. They also produce a soft, soothing heat that is perfect for relaxation.
We offer various flooring options suitable for various spaces, including finished concrete often found in basements, water-resistant luxury vinyl, and ceramic tile that can seamlessly extend from the adjoining bathroom, and custom duckboard flooring. Additionally, interlocking slip-resistant Dri-Dek flooring squares are available.
