How to Choose the Best Sauna Kit for Your Muskoka Cottage

Your cottage is a home away from home where you and your loved ones can relax, unwind and connect with nature. Many cottage owners like to have their properties prepped with games and activities for entertainment while they’re visiting. As a result, saunas in Muskoka cottages have grown dramatically in popularity. Whether you prefer an outdoor prefabricated sauna or a diy sauna kit, SaunaFin has the perfect selection for your sauna. However, before selecting your sauna, you need to assess your space to determine what kind of sauna is best suited to your cottage. If you require help customizing a sauna kit, reach out to SaunaFin for expert advice. 

Here are some strategies to help you select the best sauna kit for your cottage.

Consider the Location and Available Space for a DIY Sauna Kit

Every cottage is unique and may be unique in size and layout. The size and format of your cottage should definitely help inform your decision. 

If you own a cottage with a large lot, you may want to consider placing your sauna outside. Believe it or not, both sauna kits and prefabs have outdoor options that can integrate seamlessly into your front or backyard. Installing an outdoor sauna is a great way to conserve indoor space while adding a beautiful focal point to your outdoor living area. If you have an outhouse or shed, you can even design a custom sauna kit to fit inside. 

If your property is on the larger side or you simply want the convenience of an indoor sauna, you can definitely customize one to fit in even the smallest of spaces. DIY sauna kits are customized to the dimensions of your home and available space, meaning that you can create a sauna just about anywhere in your home, whether you have a dedicated room or a corner that serves no purpose. 

Choose the Right Style of Sauna for Your Space

Every type of sauna is unique and knowing the differences between them can help you determine which is the best fit for your cottage. Size, shape and heater type will all impact your experience. Here are some factors to consider:

The larger your family/social group, the larger you’ll want your sauna to be. In this case you may want to consider a larger cabin sauna or an outdoor luna or barrel sauna.

The shape of your sauna will obviously impact its visual appeal, so you should ensure that you pick something consistent with your aesthetic goals. A barrel sauna makes for an excellent outdoor focal point while also offering excellent heat distribution inside your home. 

If you prefer to keep your sauna more private, opt for an indoor sauna kit that is hidden in a low-foot traffic area.

Both sauna heaters and infrared options have their distinct uses, although sauna heaters are shown to offer more profound health benefits. At SaunaFin, you can cusromize your sauna to be heated with a heater, infrared panels or both. 

Opt for Premium Materials and Build Quality

Arguably, one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a sauna in the materials and quality of the kit itself. At SaunaFin, we pride ourselves on creating sauna kits with high-quality, durable cedar wood. This wood is naturally moisture-resistant and long-lasting, making it the ideal choice for home saunas.
