Which is Best for You?
LK Prime:
The most economical because of the thinner bench material. Ideal for the price conscious do-it-yourselfer.
Not recommended for building contractor or homeowner buying kit for their builder. Benches take longer to build, so the savings in material is offset by increased labor costs.
LK Plus:
This is the most popular package. Strong, sturdy 2x4 bench tops and supports that are quicker to assemble and have a very substantial look and feel.
The LK Plus starts you off with a first-rate, high quality sauna and lets you pick and choose the options and extras that appeal to you. The 9/16 cedar is as thick or thicker that most sauna manufacturers offer. You can utilize it with complete confidence.
LK Premium:
Starts as an LK Plus, but adds a lot of designer features, popular heater upgrades and accessories. What distinguishes the LK Premium is the thicker 11/16" wall/ceiling lining.
If the thicker wall lining is an important consideration for you, the LK Premium is a great deal. It is also popular with customers who like all the included upgrades. The thicker cedar is just a bonus.
On the other hand, it you like some of the other features, but the 11/16" cedar is not that important, then you are usually better off selecting an LK Plus and adding the upgrades you like.
(Alert: Some pass off 5/8 cedar as 11/16. Ours is a true 11/16".)
