The heater is the engine of your sauna. Your choice determines the character of the heat and steam (löyly). We offer 5 brands of exceptional heaters to power your experience. Below are the three most popular heaters we offer. View all sauna heaters here.
The wood defines the sauna’s ambiance—its look, its feel, and its scent. We use only premium, furniture-grade woods that are beautiful, durable, and create the perfect environment for relaxation.
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 (knots get hot in the sauna!)
Interior Wood Types Available :
Any wood type available for the interior of the sauna is available for the outside of your sauna. There are additional exterior options available – a common choice is LP Smart Paneling because its reasonable price and clean look.

Don’t overlook the details that deliver true comfort. A well-designed backrest transforms a bench from a simple seat into a comfortable lounger, providing essential ergonomic support for your mid-back and shoulders, allowing for longer, more relaxing sessions.
Each custom sauna comes with a standard 2-bar backrest. There are upgraded backrest versions available.
The right lighting is crucial for creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. Move beyond a simple bulb and create a soft, tranquil glow. We offer a range of modern lighting solutions, including LED light strips installed behind the backrests or underneath the benches to wash the walls with warm, indirect light—perfect for enhancing a state of deep relaxation.
LED strip lighting comes pre-installed behind your backrest. Can also be placed under bench.
Cariitti glass fiber lighting can be installed in the ceiling or on the backrest to create a halo effect.
Puck Lights go into the ceiling.
Globe Light mounts on the wall.
Your sauna door sets the tone for the entire room. We offer high-quality options to match your desired aesthetic and level of privacy.
Our standard sauna windows are double-paned. 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.
Window Sizes:
Comfort and cleanliness start from the ground up. A duckboard walkway (in Finnish, ritilä) provides a beautiful, slip-resistant surface that feels warm and comfortable underfoot. It keeps your feet off the main floor of your home and is easily removable for cleaning.
A duckboard walkway comes standard with each sauna kit. Duckboards sit on the floor of the sauna and are walked on.
Duckboards usually are built in the primary wood species of the sauna.
An additional duckboard can be purchased for outside of the sauna (entryway, etc).
For a truly seamless and professional look, consider adding a skirt to the upper bench.
This panel cleanly closes the gap between the upper and lower benches, hiding the bench supports and creating the elegant, finished appearance of a high-end custom-built sauna.
