Saunas and steam have a high percieved value. People aften over-estimate the cost of saunas. So when selling a home, a sauna is an excellent selling feature.
Wet Sauna, Dry Sauna, Steam Sauna, Rock Sauna.
Individuals have always been confused by the different terms used for saunas: wet sauna, steam sauna, rock sauna and dry sauna. Traditional Sauna is what we prefer to use. In a nutshell, a traditional sauna is a basically dry environment, with momentary bursts of humidity when water is splashed on the rocks. Ambient sauna humidity is around 10%, far below the 30-40% that is found in most homes. Splashing water on the rocks will spike humidity to 60-70% for a few seconds only, resulting in the wave of heat that comes off the rocks. To add to the confusion, the infrared industry has taken to calling their product a dry sauna. We say the very same traditional sauna heater is both wet and dry. The sauna basically bakes the air inside the room (dry) and splashing water on the rocks (in moderation) is part of the sauna experience (wet).
Similarly, The term steam sauna is used by some to refer to a traditional sauna and by others to describe a steam bath. We at Saunafin avoid the using of the term steam sauna. It just leads to confusion. The terms you will hear us say are traditional or rock sauna, steam bath or steam shower and infrared sauna.
These saunas are pre-frabricated, hence the name.
They can be assembled in 2-3 hours.
With Pre-Fab saunas there is no additional framing or insulation. The walls are self-supporting.
Everything is designed for quick assembly without specialized tools.
Saunas can be dismantled.
A Sauna Kit refers to the inside "skin" of the sauna.
You or your contractor build the frame walls, insulate and finish the exterior.
The kits we provide come with cedar lining, a door, molding, benches, a heater, and the vapour barrier.
You will trim the boards and nail them to the walls & ceiling.
You will assemble and install the benches, hang the door, etc.
Kits are installed permanently into a home (or club) during renovation or new construction.
The installed kit can blended in to home decor and can be customized in to any shape or size.
Sauna kits are more popular than pre-fab saunas
It's portable. While we would not recommend moving it on a regular basis, it can be dismantled and re-assembled elsewhere. If you are renting your home, this may be a better solution.
If you can't build a sauna yourself and can't get someone to build one, then a prefab is a viable option.
Perhaps you already have a finished basement and you do not want to deal with the mess of a full construction project.
Sometimes renovators do not want to "do" a sauna for whatever reason. In such cases we often see a pre-fab sauna and then the renovator drywalls around it so it appears built in.
If you are doing renovations, a material kit allows the sauna to be incorporated as part of the house finishes. It is not a stand-alone structure set off from the rest of the home.
There are some limitations with a pre-fab structure in terms of size and shape. With a built in sauna kit, you can build virtually any size or shape sauna.
A framed sauna with the stud cavity filled with insulation will have more insulation value. (The flip side is that a sauna is generally only on for an hour or so. The amount of heat loss in an hour is minimal. For the hour you are there, the sauna will feel hot.
The benefits of steam baths and saunas are well documented. From stress relief, rexation, and soothing muscles to all types of health benefits related to detoxification, induced fever, and profuse sweating. The benefits can be achieved with each. Which type is best suited for you is a personal decision. Your choice might be impacted by your preference, space restictions, home decor plans, health concerns, social aspects, or a specific exercise regime.
Primarily, we sell traditional sauna products: Material kits, Pre-fabs and Sauna Craft & Tylo heaters.
We also carry the Steamist Steam Generators.
We offer a narrow range infrared saunas. We do not carry the common, portable, plug-in type infrared. We only offer infrared sauna kits for those who require a custom field installed kit.
Traditional saunas are an increased heat, decreased humid environment. The temperature can fluctuate from 80 to 90 degrees Celsius (185-195 degrees Fahrenheit). Splashing water on top of the rocks causes an explosion of hypersteam and intensifies the feeling of heat. Infrared rays warm up the body first and heat up the air afterwards. For individuals who love the heat bath feeling, there is nothing in the world quite like it.
NOTE: There is an exception for the Tylo Combi sauna heater. The Combi produces its own steam and so operates at a lower temperature. The Combi is the "soft-heat" traditional sauna.
Infrared saunas offer a more gentle atmosphere. Infrared rays warm up a body first and then the air around second. For individuals who appreciate a heat bath feeling, yet don’t prefer traditional saunas, infrared is a great substitute.
It is important to keep in mind that the experience is not the same. Tons of individuals who love the feel of traditional saunas often request more information about infrared saunas thinking that they provide an identical experience.
Infrared saunas provide a very enjoyable experience, but are different from a traditional sauna. If you know and love traditional saunas, you should seek out information beyond the claims of infrared vendors.
Many infrared manufacturers and distributors make comparisons to traditional saunas that are misleading and untrue. As a distributor of both types of saunas, we try to offer a balanced point of view. Check out our Infrared section for more information on the differences.
Yes, but not the way you think. This an area of common confusion for saunas. People associate the need for ventilation with a bathroom and shower (or steam shower). You ventilate a bathroom to remove excess moisture. Saunas are by nature a dry environment-you are essentially baking the air. Typical sauna humidity is around 10%' with momentary spikes when water is splashed on the rocks. Your average household humidity is around 40%. The sauna is in fact much dryer than the rest of your home.
Sauna venting does not mean venting to the outdoors as you would for a shower. It means cross ventilation. It refers to an inlet (low behind heater) and an outlet (generally high in opposite corner from heater). The purpose of sauna ventilation is to move the air from the heater to the seating area. In general, you should not vent to the outdoors, but into the adjoining room so that the warmed air is re circulated.
(Remember that saunas are dry heat, there is no concern of humidity spreading all over the house.)
It is not always essential to have vents fin order for sauna to operate properly. If your sauna installation will allow you access to install vents at a later time, you may try sauna without vents with a contingency to add at a later date if it is determined they are required.
If venting openings are not easily accessible (i.e. exterior wall), there are options redirect vents by ducting to open wall.
See vent details here: Sauna Venting
Should you insulate? The short answer is yes. But it is often not as a critcal as people think.
You insulate a home because the heat is on six months out of the year. A sauna is on for one to 1-1/2 hours. So, the insulation has a more limited value.
When building sauna, the stud cavity should be filled with R-12 (or R-13) Fiberglass Batt insulation. The insulation will be covered with the foil barrier that comes with our sauna material kits.
As rule of thumb, we discourage foam insulation (i.e.SM or blown). Foam has a lower heat rating. While it is generally OK for typical home sauna; for heaviliy used saunas it may deteriorate
Note on Pre-Fab saunas: Our pre-fab saunas are constructed using solid 2x6 cedar. While the solid log does not have as much insulation value as a fiberglass filled cavity, it is sufficient for the application. Keeping in mind that saunas are only on for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, the log construction is effective to contain the heat.
Indoor: on average 20-30 minutes
Outdoor: depends on region and season. Cold climate, cold day - could be 40-60 minutes.
Commercial saunas should have a drain in the center of the floor (sloped to the drain) to facilitate cleaning.
Most residential saunas have drains, but it is not essential. Water should only be used in moderation.
(If you are doing a complete renovation or new build and are putting new bathroom, shower, etc, we would recommend you also put a drain in the sauna.)
Splashing water in moderation over the sauna rocks is part of the sauna experience.
Water can be brought in and added using a sauna bucket and dipper.
A water tap inside the sauna is convenient. Keep in mind, there are restrictions on how close water can be to power (heater). Generally, distance is 3’-4.5’ (local regulations may vary)
If a sauna has a water tap, it should have a drain and a waterproof floor.
Electric sauna heaters are much more popular and often more practical. They are more compact , require less clearance and offer many design options.
Electric heaters are inexpensive to operate. The average sauna is used once or twice a week for one hour or so.The electrical cost will be about $2.00-$3.00 per week. All our electric heaters are approved by either ETL or CSA.
Wood burning sauna heaters can only be used in outdoor saunas. They are larger and depending on installation conditions can require very large clearances. There is no certification category for wood burning saunas stoves. There is a guideline provided for installing uncertified wood stoves and if followed exactly, you may be able to get wood heaters WETT certified in the field. (Consult with your insurance company before installing a wood heater to see if they have any concerns or conditions.
In USA and Canada 240 volt is standard residential voltage in homes.
Residential saunas are 240volt, single phase. Breaker size depends on heater size. Most saunas require a 30 or 40 amp breaker (but may be larger).
Breaker should NOT be GFI type.
Commercial (public) saunas are often 208 volt, 3 phase or other
(If you are putting a sauna in a condo, check to verify voltage. It may be 208v in a high rise type dwelling; i.e. New York City is mostly 208v)
Yes, you will need a certified electrician to wire your new sauna.
Yes, Si, Da, Ya. Just to be clear: yes,yes,yes, absolutely yes!
Hot air rises and temperature stratification in a sauna is significant (10-15 degrees per foot). if sitting on a single tier bench, you will not feel any heat.
That is why virtually all saunas have two levels of benches. The bottom bench is really a step up and a foot rest.
It is for this reason that Saunafin also favors top tier L bench returns.
Most Saunas are 7' height or lower. Minimum height is generally 75" to 78" depending on heater model.
Our standard kit height is 821/2".
Maximum sauna height should never be higher than 8'. If you really want higher, we strongly urge being as close to 7' as you are willing to go; i.e. 7'-4" or 7'-6".
To be effective, you must sit where the air is hottest-that is up high. Comfortable seating height is 18". So standard two tier benches are bottom tier is18" high and top tier is 36" high.
(In larger commercial saunas with 8' height, there may be floor space for three tier benches.)
For the most part, the only real difference is location.
Outdoor saunas may be built in your own outdoor structure like a cabana, garden shed or bunky. If that is the plan, you can install one of our material kits inside your structure. The sauna kit is basically the inside "skin" of the sauna.
There are also many styles of pre-fab outdoor saunas; including cabin style, barrels, pods and others.
Saunas work when rocks are heated in a sauna heater. This is what keeps the sauna temperature continuously high.
It’s not mandatory to pour water on the rocks in the sauna. However, many people do pour water on the rocks in their sauna because this increases the steam and humidity inside the sauna. For your convenience, we do offer buckets and ladles.
Saunas are generally a hot/cold cycle. Sit inside for 5-10 minutes, then cool off with a cold shower, a dip in the pool or just resting outside for a bit. Then you can re-enter the sauna.
It is not an endurance test. It is best to be guide by how you feel.
As you gain more sauna experience, you may build endurance and be able to stay longer.
When using the our Tylo Combi "steaming" heater, you can often stay longer as the heat is less intense.
Each of our saunas come with a detailed manual to follow (they can be found here: Resources.) Follow our easy instructions and enjoy your sauna session!
There may be a question of what is meant by this.
Temperatures in North America are limited to 900C (1940F). In Europe, temperatures can be as high as 1100C. Some prefer temperatures hotter than is allowable.
Also the 900 is measured at the ceiling above the sauna heater (the hottest spot). The temperature across the sauna at the seating area can be 10-150C lower.
In home saunas, we find complaints of low temperature often result from misplaced or inaccurate thermometers. Some people sit the thermometer on the bench top-not an accurate reading.
Also, over the last number of years, we have found thermometers to be inaccurate. They are slow responding bi-metal mechanism. In fact, we test every batch of thermometers we receive. And then we calibrate them to "more accurately" reflect sauna temperatures at the high end of the scale.
If a sauna is sized correct, within one hour, it will heat the sauna to the desired 900C
Public saunas are more regimented, so it may be that the sauna is not set a high enough temperature.
High limit tripping is a fairly common complaint in North America where permissible sauna temperatures are lower than everywhere else in the world. Temperatures in North America are limited to 900C (1940F). In Europe, temperatures can be as high as 1100C. Some prefer temperatures hotter than is allowable.
High limit tripping is very common in public saunas - especially in Men's saunas. Men tend to prefer hotter saunas, and sometimes "mess" with the thermostat sensing bulb, causing the sauna to overheat, which subsequently triggers the high limit cut-off..
High limit tripping is less common in residential saunas. In most cases, it is a result of improper heater/control installation, or improper room construction and air flow.
See our Resources page for diagnostics.
We ship mainly to Canada and USA.
Sauna Heaters and Steam Generators are usually shipped by UPS or Purolator. Sauna Material Kits and Pre-Fab saunas are shipped via transport truck. (We mostly use UPS Freight and Old Dominion to USA, Western Canada and Maritime-Ontario for Canada). We do not use brokers or agencies. We prefer dealing with large shippers that have local depots and are less likely to pass off freight to third party carriers. (A little more costly, but more reliable-You can't put a price on "peace of mind").
Using a sauna such as a cabin sauna regularly offers various advantages. Though some experts debate the safety of daily usage, most stand by the fact that it is perfectly safe to use saunas every day; just be mindful to stay hydrated during your sessions. The heat and steam help relax muscles, boost circulation, and potentially aid respiratory issues. However, caution is advised regarding the frequency of exposure.
Daily sauna sessions can relieve stress, enhance sleep quality, promote healthy skin by opening pores and increasing blood flow, and potentially benefit cardiovascular health while reducing chronic disease risks. Yet, moderation is key when determining the appropriate frequency for individual well-being.
Frequent sauna sessions offer potential advantages, yet caution is advisable due to potential risks. Foremost among these concerns is dehydration. The intense heat induces perspiration, rapidly depleting bodily fluids if precautions are not taken. Moreover, individuals with specific medical conditions like hypotension or cardiovascular issues may face heightened susceptibility to adverse effects from sauna exposure.
Most individuals can safely utilize a sauna daily. However, it's crucial to be attentive to any signs of dehydration or discomfort your body may exhibit. If you have any medical conditions or concerns, it's advisable to consult your healthcare provider before establishing a daily sauna regimen. Ultimately, if you find the sauna enjoyable and beneficial for your overall well-being, incorporating it into your daily routine is acceptable.
Prefab saunas have become a popular addition to many homes since they provide a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of a sauna without needing extensive construction. If you're considering buying a backyard sauna, there are probably questions running through your mind as to whether or not the investment would be worth it. In this FAQ, we'll look through the different factors to consider if an outdoor sauna or home sauna kit is worth investing in.
Many people include a sauna in their backyards for associated health advantages. Prefabricated saunas make it easy to enjoy heat therapy, for which many health benefits have been recognized. Frequent use of the sauna can lead to improved circulation, relief of muscle tension, and relaxation. Besides, sauna use is said to support detoxification via sweat, which is beneficial to your health.
Unlike the traditional saunas, prefab saunas will be easily installed in your backyard without much construction. This way, you will have an opportunity to enjoy yourself in your sauna without going through all the struggles of building it from scratch. In addition, having an outdoor sauna in your backyard means it is readily accessible for regular use, enabling you to make sauna sessions part of your routine.
Investing in a backyard sauna has the potential to increase the value of your property. Many homebuyers are attracted to a property that features attractive outdoor amenities, and a well-kept backyard sauna can even become a selling point to attract prospective buyers. A backyard sauna could become a desirable feature for many potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home.
While prefab saunas offer ease of use, health advantages, and property value increases, let's look at the cost. Depending on the size of your sauna, added features, and quality of materials, a prefab sauna comes in at a varying cost. In addition, there are running costs that include maintenance and operation.
Whether the backyard sauna is worth it or not wholly depends on your taste, lifestyle, and financial position. Consider the health benefits, convenience, property value increases, and cost to make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and goals.
Yes, most outdoor saunas do require electricity; however, the amount and purpose may vary depending on the type of sauna installed.
Most outdoor saunas are powered by electric heaters, which are highly efficient and able to provide full temperature and humidity control. Electric saunas do require a dedicated electrical line directly into your home or property. They usually have a control panel with which you can easily set your desired temperature. These types of sauna models get hot very fast and are very easy to work with, so most of the people who use a sauna regularly choose to use electric heaters.
They are more consistant, requiring less maintenance, hence giving both reliable and even heat throughout your sauna session. Some electric saunas also come with added features like lighting and sound systems or chromotherapy, all requiring electricity to power them.
While most outdoor saunas are electric, there are a few other options available. These include larger, more traditional wood-fired saunas that really allow for an authentic experience when using the sauna. Because they don't require electricity to generate any heat, they can also be set up in far more remote locations than an electric version might allow for, where running an electrical line might be difficult or expensive.
When looking for an outdoor sauna, consider location, availability of power, and personal preference. Whether you want the absolute ease of use that an electric sauna has to offer or are looking at other alternatives, SaunaFin has high-quality outdoor sauna kits in stock for any of your needs.

The following are ways through which you can keep your outdoor sauna in top condition:
Outdoor saunas are exposed to all kinds of different weather. Therefore, periodic treatment of the wood is necessary. A good wood sealant or some protective oil applied on the outside will act as a shield against rain, snow, and even UV rays. In the case of the inside, although the wood isn't directly exposed, periodic treatment may work wonders for its aesthetic appeal and strength. The only products that should be used are those that are recommended by the makers of the sauna for compatibility and safety reasons.
This will extend the life expectancy of your outdoor sauna and enhance your overall experience. If you're looking to add a sauna to your home or are seeking specific maintenance products, then SaunaFin has a great variety of quality options and expert advice for you.

You need to keep three major things in mind when you select the right wood to build your outdoor sauna, durability, heat resistance, and aesthetics. Varieties of wood can be used, each type complementing the other. Be it a barrel sauna in Chicago or another model, finding the right wood is the core.
One of the most popular woods used for outdoor saunas is cedar. Natural decay and insect resistance are a couple of its properties. Since it has low density, it won't warp under the high heat. Furthermore, it aromatically enhances the inside sauna experience. In particular, Western Red Cedar is used with both barrel sauna and traditional designs.
One more popular option, especially among those who are in search of a more budget-friendly alternative, is hemlock. While hemlock won't have precisely the same aromatic properties as cedar, it is also very durable and sturdy, making it an excellent option when building saunas to be used outdoors.
Another great choice for outdoor saunas is Nordic Spruce, known to be very durable with a fine grain. This wood exudes a sleek, contemporary look and can withstand very high-temperature changes; very useful if you use barrel saunas in Chicago's fluctuating weather.
For those who demand the best, Redwood offers unmatched durability in a colour of distinction. Almost impervious to decay, Redwood imparts its character to provide a truly unique outdoor sauna with a touch of luxury.
The right kind of wood to build your outdoor sauna will determine its durability, comfort, and aesthetic value. Whether you will decide to use cedar, hemlock, Nordic spruce, or redwood, each wood type has its advantages. Visit SaunaFin for expert advice on quality outdoor sauna kits that befit your needs.

Proper air circulation in a barrel sauna is essential for creating an even, comfortable heat. Most barrel sauna kits in Canada are designed with air vents to ensure smooth airflow. These vents allow fresh air to enter while expelling excess moisture and heat. Good circulation helps maintain the desired temperature and prevents stagnant air, ensuring a pleasant sauna experience.
Without proper air circulation, your sauna can become stuffy, making it uncomfortable to use. Good airflow not only maintains even heat but also improves air quality by preventing the buildup of moisture, which can lead to mold or unpleasant odours over time.
To maximize the airflow in your barrel sauna, ensure vents are unobstructed and placed strategically. Regularly clean the vents and avoid overcrowding the space with too many users or objects, which can block airflow and heat distribution.
Looking for high-quality barrel sauna kits in Canada? SaunaFin offers a variety of barrel saunas designed with optimal air circulation in mind. Contact us today to learn more and find the perfect sauna for your home!
Yes, saunas, including using a barrel sauna kit, can increase testosterone levels in certain situations. Research indicates that brief exposure to heat, such as frequent sauna use, may foster hormonal balance and increase testosterone levels by way of improving blood flow, reducing stress, and increasing general well-being. However, the effects depend on factors like duration, frequency, and individual health.
The effects of saunas regarding testosterone are directly related to how often and how long you are exposed to them. It is not a given that saunas will work in increasing testosterone levels, but including them in a healthy lifestyle could produce visible results.
If you’re looking to enjoy the wellness benefits of sauna use, consider investing in a barrel sauna kit from SaunaFin. Our high-quality kits make it easy to create a rejuvenating sauna experience at home. Explore our collection today and take the first step toward better health!
No, home saunas are designed to be energy-efficient, and they do not use much electricity. The amount of energy it will consume depends on the size of the sauna, the kind of heater used, and how long the sauna runs. Most home saunas run at an average of about 1.5 to 6 kWh per session, making them pretty inexpensive to run.
Ready to enjoy the benefits of a sauna without breaking the bank on energy costs? Explore home sauna kits from SaunaFin. Our high-quality, energy-efficient designs offer relaxation and wellness with minimal electricity usage. Contact SaunaFin today to find the perfect sauna for your home!
You generally do not have to waterproof an outdoor sauna, as most saunas are constructed in such a way that they can handle high humidity and extreme temperature fluctuations. The type of wood used on the sauna, including cedar or hemlock, has a natural resistance to moisture and will not rot; thus, it also stands strong over time. On the other hand, it does need proper ventilation and maintenance to last and work properly.
Avoid the temptation to seal or waterproof the wood inside, as this will simply trap moisture and prevent the sauna from breathing naturally.
For long-lasting, superior outdoor sauna kits, along with expert advice, call SaunaFin today for quality materials and advice in creating a great sauna experience that will last for years to come. Why Wait? Bring your dream Sauna to Life with the experts at SaunaFin!
The "200 rule" is a guideline for the sauna and how to enjoy it safely. It's the sum of the temperature in Fahrenheit and time in minutes not to exceed 200. That is, if your sauna is at 180F, you must limit your session to 20 minutes. The approach brings a balance in heat exposure and safety, hence the comfort and benefits of taking a sauna.
Home sauna kits by SaunaFin make it easy to enjoy your sauna at your convenience and safely follow the rules such as the 200 rule.
Keep your body hydrated before and after the session. Avoid big meals or drinking alcohol before getting in. Take into consideration what your body tells you, and leave the sauna if you start to feel uncomfortable.
Considering the 200 rule, you can safely use the sauna for its therapeutic benefits in the comfort of your own home. Check out our wide array of top-quality home sauna kits to create your dream relaxation area with SaunaFin.
Both a steam room and a cabin sauna are healthy, but your choice depends on you. A sauna provides dry heat, which aids in muscle recovery, detoxification, and circulation. Steam rooms provide moist heat, which is healthy for the respiratory system and hydration of the skin. If you like heavy sweating and heat, then a cabin sauna is your healthier choice.
Personal preference plays a role—some enjoy dry heat, while others prefer the humid environment of a steam room.
For a high-quality cabin sauna, trust the pros at SaunaFin for premium sauna options that enhance relaxation and wellness. So why wait to get in touch with one of our sauna specialists to start your journey to a healthier lifestyle? Contact us today!

A floor drain is not necessarily part of home sauna kits, but it might be a good option in certain situations. Most traditional saunas do not require a drain since minimal water is utilized and proper ventilation is used to manage moisture. If your sauna is subjected to a lot of water on a regular basis, from cleaning, excessive steam, or dumping water buckets, a floor drain can prevent the moisture from building up and make cleanup easier.

At SaunaFin, we offer custom home sauna kits that provide hybrid heating technology. When you choose one of our custom infrared sauna kits, you also have the choice to include a traditional sauna, giving you the opportunity to customize your sauna experience from day to day. Access to a traditional sauna heater allows indulgence in the benefits of either type of heating – traditional and infrared, without sacrificing the customizations of a home sauna kit at SaunaFin.
Hybrid saunas give homeowners the power of two saunas in one space. Like with our traditional sauna kits, hybrid saunas are custom-fit to your space, giving you the opportunity to tailor the layout and style to suit your personal taste and home.
Opting for a hybrid sauna also allows you to embrace two types of heating and, as a result, two categories of health benefits.
Traditional saunas use a heater that warms the air around you, which in turn heats your body. This method produces a high-temperature environment that leads to intense sweating. The benefits of traditional saunas include deep detox, enhanced blood circulation, muscle relaxation, and more.
On the other hand, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit more radiant heat, which is absorbed directly by the skin rather than warming the air first. This type of heating in a home sauna offers advantages such as lower temperatures but still a deep heat experience, improved skin health and weight loss support.
