The indoor sauna customization process is simple. If you know what you want to build, great! We can help you build it. Otherwise we have years of experience building saunas and can help guide you along the way.
Below are the the custom options you can put in your sauna. The biggest components of the sauna are size & layout, heater & control, and wood type. But, there are more options to choose from beyond that.
We build our saunas with high quality materials only, for form and function. Our saunas are built to withstand hard use for decade (like the saunas we grew up using).
The size and layout of your indoor sauna is one of the largest factors to consider. Is there an ideal location for it? Do you want to put it near a shower, or put a shower in the sauna? What about venting?
There are several factors to consider when installing an indoor permanent sauna. Let us help walk you through the process to ensure that the sauna is going in the best location. Call 612.505.9700 or reach us through our contact form for any questions you have!
Other factors to consider are :
After you have decided on the size and layout of the sauna, we will help you find the appropriately sized heater for it. We offer a variety of different sauna heater brands in our custom outdoor saunas. Each heater offers different sauna experiences.
Featured Sauna Heater Brands :
All our wood is mill-direct, using only the highest quality, hand-selected wood. All from verified sustainable forests. All wood choices are chosen for their ability to hold up for years (typically decades) in the harsh sauna environment.
All wood that touches skin (benches, backrests, duckboard flooring, heater guard, headrest) is chosen for staying cool to the touch of the skin (No knots – they get hot in the sauna heat!)
Four of the most common wood types we use on the interior of our saunas are clear western red cedar, clear canadian hemlock, black taika, and nordic spruce with abachi benching. But, we do offer additional wood types such as heat-treated alder, aspen, knotty-cedar, and much more. Don’t hesitate to ask us about additional wood types!
Clear Western Red Cedar offers a luxury feel to the sauna with multiple different tones. Cedar has a unique and desirable scent to it.
Unlike Cedar, Clear Canadian Hemlock offers a single wood tone. It’s a brighter, reddish wood.
Black Taika is certified birch plywood developed exclusively for high performance in the harsh sauna environment.
European Grade A Nordic Spruce is commonly found in saunas in the Nordic Region, where saunas originated.
A backrest in the sauna is comfortable, looks nice, and keeps your skin off the T&G walls. There are several upgraded backrest options to put in your sauna.
Every custom indoor sauna comes with a standard 2-bar backrest.
Available in all wood types and heat-treated Alder.
There are multiple different options for sauna lighting. The most common is the RGBW Strip Lighting, but it’s not the only option.
The RGBW LED strip lighting and the RGBW LED puck lights are compatible with the SaunaLogic 2.0 Control. Change the light color and brightness to suit your liking. The lights can be purchased and set up a la carte too.
LED strip lighting comes pre-installed behind your backrest. Can also be placed under bench.
Puck Lights go into the ceiling.
Mounts on the wall.
Each sauna door swings out. The glass doors feature a single pane, tempered glass with a latch. Wood doors feature a single clear, tempered pane down the center, with ball & catch latch or self-closing hinges.
View sauna door options below.
Douglas Fir Wood Frame, clear insulated glass insert. Ball & Catch latch standard, self closing hinges available. Suggested rough opening on wood doors is 2″ taller and 2″ wider than the door.
All Glass, available in clear, bronze and satin (frosted) tint. Suggested rough opening on glass doors is 3.5″ wider and 2″ taller than the door.
Our standard sauna window comes in a single pane, tempered glass. They’re available in both clear and bronze tint. All windows pre-hung in the panels.
Below are our standard sauna window sizes in the custom sauna. We can do entirely custom window sizing if the below options are not what you’re looking for.
Standard Window Sizes:
A duckboard walkway comes standard with the sauna. A duckboard is nice to walk on and looks good in the sauna, but it’s not a requirement to have one.
An additional duckboard can be purchased for outside of the sauna (entryway, etc).
Rounded Bullnose Trim sits on the bench face.
It comes in either the standard bench wood type, or heat-treated alder.
Bullnose Trim offers an aesthetic and small comfort while sitting on the sauna bench.
