Why Install a Sauna in Your Chicago Home?

Home saunas give you ample opportunity to reap the health benefits of sauna use. The benefits of sauna use are rather profound, and many individuals install home saunas for health reasons. Some of the many benefits include:

• Improved muscle recovery after a workout
• Improved heart health and cardiovascular function
• Eases joint pain
• Improved skin health
• Reduction in stress hormones and increase in positive neurotransmitters
• Improved sleep

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are a plethora of health and wellness benefits that make installing a sauna more than worthwhile. 

Sauna Placement

Where you want to place your sauna will play a role in picking the perfect sauna. You are going to want to determine where you have space for a sauna and/or where you’d prefer for it to live. If you have a smaller home but want to have a larger capacity sauna, maybe an outdoor option would be better. If you want your sauna to be more accessible during harsh Chicago winters, maybe you should consider placing your sauna inside your home. There are options better suited to both indoor and outdoor placements. Barrel, pod, and outdoor cabin saunas are better suited for outdoor saunas due to their unique shapes. Cube-shaped cabin saunas are better for indoor use as they are more compact, and their shape allows them to fit easily in most spaces. 

Size, Shape, and Capacity

The size, shape and capacity of your sauna comes down to personal preference and how much space you have. Ensure that you take detailed measurements wherever you want to put your sauna so you can purchase one that fits the correct dimensions. 

The shape of your sauna should fit your aesthetic. Opt for a classic cabin sauna if you want something with a simple look. If you want your sauna to have a more unique, eye-catching look, choose a sauna with a more unique shape or design. Barrel saunas and pod saunas have interesting, unique shapes that are sure to draw attention.

You also need to consider what capacity your sauna needs to be. If you have a larger family and want to spend time with them in the sauna, you’ll need a larger or more space-efficient sauna. Look for larger saunas that accommodate more people or customize a sauna kit to have 2-tier seating. If you do not require a high capacity, opt for a smaller model to save space!

Details

To truly pick the perfect sauna, you need to consider the details and final touches that will make you happy. Some things to consider would be:

• Doors: Your doors should be tailored to your preference. Do you prefer something with windows? Or do prefer having more privacy with solid or frosted doors?
• Lighting: Adding lighting to your sauna can create a better ambience
• Heater: Do some research and determine what option is best suited to your sauna. If you want one compatible with sauna rocks, ensure you find one that is.
• Colour: If you have a particular colour preference, certain wood is better. Cedar tends to be a darker orangey brown colour, whereas hemlock is a much lighter, sandy beige colour.
