Indoor Custom Traditional Sauna Kits

Before diving into the serene world of sauna bathing, it’s crucial to consider certain elements. If you’re eyeing a wood-burning stove, it’s wise to check with your local council for any safety regulations or spacing requirements. For an electric heater, planning for external wiring and a 240v outlet is essential, and we recommend consulting a licensed electrician. Additionally, setting up your sauna’s lighting may require electric lines or even a solar power system.

An electric heater is not only a budget-friendly option but also excels in energy efficiency. These heaters need to run only for half the duration of your sauna session. For instance, if your electricity costs 13 cents per kilowatt-hour and you have a 5 KW heater, an hour-long session would cost you approximately 65 cents – an affordable luxury for your wellness routine.

Our traditional indoor saunas in Canada and the USA are designed to reach soothing temperatures ranging from 150° F to a toasty 230° F (65° to 110° Celsius), catering to everyone from sauna novices to aficionados.

The warm-up time for your sauna can vary depending on factors like room temperature, insulation, and ventilation. Generally, it takes about 60 minutes for the sauna rocks to pre-heat, ensuring your indoor sauna reaches the perfect level of warmth for a relaxing experience.

In both Canada and the USA, our traditional saunas offer customizable heat and humidity settings. The heating process starts with a wood-burning stove or an electric heater warming up the sauna rocks. These rocks then radiate the heat throughout the room. The heater’s on-and-off cycle, along with efficient insulation, helps maintain the ideal temperature.

A typical sauna session should last about 10-15 minutes. However, seasoned sauna enthusiasts might enjoy up to six sessions with breaks in between. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body for the most comfortable and beneficial experience.

Absolutely! Adding water to the heated rocks elevates the humidity inside the sauna, creating a delightful steam effect. This not only enhances comfort but also moisturizes dry nasal passages, sets the stage for aromatic therapies, and delivers a ‘soft sauna’ experience with lower temperature yet higher humidity.

Clear or Knotty Western Red Cedar stands out as the top choice for sauna construction, thanks to its excellent heat insulation properties and visually appealing aesthetics. Alternatively, spruce wood heats up quicker and brings a traditional vibe with its lighter color palette.

Yes, indeed! Regular sauna sessions contribute to improved blood circulation, a stronger immune system, reduced blood pressure, enhanced respiratory function, and thorough skin cleansing.

We recommend lightweight cotton attire for sauna sessions. Cotton’s heat-absorbing and breathable qualities make it ideal for a sauna environment.
