Steps to Customizing a Home Sauna Kit to Suit Your Needs

Given the fact that saunas have grown in popularity over the years, many people are now electing to install saunas on their property. There are numerous reasons why saunas have increased in popularity, but the main reason is the fact that saunas have profound health benefits. Research has shown that regular sauna usage can greatly reduce your risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease in the future. They are also great for muscle relaxation and recovery, making them popular amongst athletes and avid gym-goers. Using a sauna can also reduce stress and boost mood. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Saunas can truly have a great positive impact on people's lives, which is why home sauna kits have become a staple.

It is important to be mindful when customizing your sauna, so here are some tips and steps to customizing a home sauna. 

Analyze Your Space

Space is typically one of the largest concerns when it comes to installing a home sauna. You need to have or make space for your sauna. The first step to customizing your home sauna is analyzing what space you have available and ensuring it can accommodate a sauna based on your size requirements. It is common for homeowners to install saunas in their basements as there is normally a lot of space to work with. Others will elect to dedicate a whole spare room to a sauna. 

If you want a compact sauna that can only accommodate one or two people, this process may be easier. However, if you want a larger sauna with a greater capacity, you will need more space available. It is important to understand what capacity you need your sauna to be as the larger the capacity, the larger the sauna. If you plan to entertain in your sauna, if you have a larger family, or if you plan to exercise or stretch in your sauna, you need space to accommodate. 

When homeowners do not have enough indoor space for a spacious sauna, they can elect for an outdoor sauna. Saunas hold up rather well outside, and space tends to be less of an issue when installing an outdoor sauna. This is a great option for homeowners who do not have much space to give up inside their homes. 

Material and Style

After determining the practicality of a sauna in your space, you need to determine what style you want. When you customize your sauna, you get to choose everything from the shape to the finish. Having a good understanding of your personal style and aesthetic goals will help you decide how to customize the look of your sauna. If you want an outdoor sauna that is unique and eye-catching, a barrel sauna may be a great option. If you have a cottage with a view and want to install a sauna on that property, a panoramic view barrel sauna could also be a great showstopping piece, as it has an acrylic bubble on the back wall to provide you with a view of your space. If you want an indoor sauna with a more luxurious feel, you can choose an indoor pure-vision sauna. They are a classic beautiful style or sauna. 

With a customizable sauna, you also need to pick what type of wood you want to use, what colors you prefer and the sauna heater you prefer. Wood selection and coloring boil down to personal preference. When it comes to your sauna heater, it is important to understand what your needs are. Infrared saunas are very similar to traditional saunas; however, knowing the difference can help you understand which may be better for your space. 

  • Infrared: Designed to target the user and heat up their body directly, allowing for great heat penetration. This would be increasingly beneficial to those who are mainly using their sauna for muscle relaxation and recovery. 
  • Traditional: These are designed to heat up the air in the sauna first, creating an overall warmer experience, and providing a great sweat. 

Generally, these two types of sauna do not differ greatly when it comes to health benefits, but knowing the difference can help you make a more informed decision.

Interior Design

Once the bulk of the sauna has been designed, it is time for the details of the interior design. When it comes to this process you need to have an understanding of how your sauna is going to be used. You will need to pick a seating and bench style for your sauna. So if you need it to have a higher capacity, you may want to look into designing a sauna that has multiple rows of seating. If this is not the case, then feel free to have minimal seating to leave more room for stretching. You can also look into lighting and see what styles you enjoy. Do you want under-bench lighting for a luxurious feel? Or do you prefer the simplicity of overhead lighting? The door and fixtures can also contribute to the aesthetic of the sauna. Determine whether you prefer a clear door, or want more privacy with a solid wooden door. Again all of these choices should be made according to your design and aesthetic preferences.
