Indoor Saunas

Overview of Indoor Saunas

An indoor sauna is a fantastic way to unwind, relax, and enjoy the numerous health benefits associated with sauna bathing. These self-contained units can be easily installed in your home, providing a convenient and private space for you to experience the soothing heat and steam. Our sauna product range features saunas for 1 to 6 people, making it easy to find the perfect size for your needs. The smallest 1-person sauna measures just 37.4" x 37.4" x 80.7", while larger models offer ample space for family and friends to enjoy together.

Indoor Sauna Product Types

Our indoor sauna collection includes three main product types: modular cabin saunas, traditional saunas, and glass cabin saunas. Each type offers its own unique features and benefits:

We also offer our customers the option to buy an outdoor sauna especially if you want standout things for your backyard.

Modular Cabin Saunas

Modular cabin saunas are DIY sauna kits that come in various sizes and configurations, making them a versatile choice for any home. These saunas in our collection are crafted from high-quality Aspen or Thermo-Aspen wood, providing a beautiful and durable structure. With capacities ranging from 1 to 6 people, you can easily find a modular cabin sauna that suits your needs.

Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas offer a classic Finnish sauna experience with a prebuilt design that's ready to install in your home. These saunas are constructed from beautiful Aspen wood and can accommodate up to 4 people comfortably.

Glass Cabin Saunas

Glass cabin saunas feature a modern or more sophisticated design with large glass front walls that create an open and inviting atmosphere. These saunas are perfect for those who want to showcase their sauna as a centerpiece in their home. Available in sizes suitable for 1 to 4 people, glass cabin saunas are crafted from Aspen wood and tempered glass for a stunning and durable finish.

How to Choose an Indoor Sauna

When selecting an indoor sauna, consider your available space, desired capacity, and personal preferences. If you have limited space, a 1-person modular cabin or glass cabin sauna might be the perfect fit. For larger families or those who enjoy entertaining, a 4 to 6-person modular cabin sauna offers ample room and a classic sauna experience. You might also want to explore infrared saunas.

If you prefer a modern and stylish look, a glass cabin sauna is an excellent choice. These saunas create a stunning focal point in any room and provide a spacious and open feel. Traditional saunas, on the other hand, offer a more classic and cozy atmosphere, perfect for those who appreciate a more rustic charm.

Don't forget to factor in the heater size when making your decision. Smaller saunas, such as 1-person models, typically require a 2.2 kW heater, while larger 4 to 6-person saunas may need a more powerful 6-12 kW heater to ensure optimal performance.

Take the first step towards creating your own personal oasis of relaxation and well-being.

How to Install an Indoor Sauna

Installing an indoor sauna can transform your home into a personal wellness retreat. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you install your indoor sauna smoothly:

1. Choose the Right Location

Ideally, choose a location that is dry and has access to electrical outlets. Basements, spare rooms, or even renovated garages can be excellent choices. Ensure the space is well-ventilated and has a waterproof floor.

2. Prepare the Space

Once you have chosen the location, prepare the space. This may involve insulating the walls, ceiling, and floor to retain heat more efficiently and protect the structure of your home. Ensure that the room can support additional weight, especially if you're opting for a heavier wood sauna.

3. Electrical Requirements

Consult a professional electrician to handle the sauna’s electrical needs. Electric sauna heaters typically require a 220-240 volt power source. Proper grounding and a dedicated circuit are crucial for safety. Never attempt to handle electrical installations yourself unless you are a qualified professional.

4. Assemble the Sauna

If you’ve purchased a modular sauna kit, the assembly will involve constructing the frame, attaching the walls, door, and ceiling, and then installing the benches and heater. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, and consider hiring a professional if the setup is complex.

5. Install the Sauna Heater

Make sure that your heater is appropriately installed and meets all local building and safety codes. Again, hiring a professional is advisable to ensure proper setup and operation.

6. Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential to maintain air quality and temperature control within the sauna. Install a vent near the sauna heater and another vent near the ceiling. This setup allows fresh air in and pushes the hot air out, creating a comfortable circulation pattern.

7. Finishing Touches

Add finishing touches such as lighting, a thermometer, to monitor the sauna’s temperature. Consider adding accessories like backrests, additional seating, air tunnel, and safety railings.

Indoor Sauna FAQs:

1. Can I put an indoor sauna in my basement?
   Yes, basements are a popular location for indoor saunas. Ensure the floor is level and can support the weight of the sauna. Consider the ceiling height and ventilation requirements. If your basement is prone to moisture, install a vapor barrier and ensure proper drainage to prevent damage to the sauna.
2. What type of flooring is best for an indoor sauna?
   The best flooring options for an indoor sauna are water-resistant, non-porous materials such as tile, concrete, or vinyl. Avoid using carpet or wood flooring, as they can absorb moisture and harbor bacteria. Ensure the floor is slightly sloped towards a floor drain for easy cleaning.
3. How much space do I need for an indoor sauna?
   The space required for an indoor sauna depends on the size and layout of the sauna. A small 2-person sauna can fit in a 4' x 4' area, while larger saunas may require a dedicated room. Allow for additional space around the sauna for ventilation and access to the door. Consult with the sauna manufacturer for specific size requirements.
4. How do I ventilate an indoor sauna?
   Proper ventilation is essential for indoor saunas to remove excess air, heat, and moisture. Install an exhaust fan near the ceiling to draw out hot air and a fresh air inlet near the sauna heater to bring in cool air. Ensure the ventilation system is rated for high-temperature use and is properly sized for the sauna. Leave the sauna door open after each use to allow for air circulation and drying.
