Sauna FAQs.

Can i throw water on my sauna heater?

Yes.  Traditional sauna heaters that are UL listed are designed to throw water on.  

What Is a modular sauna?

A modular sauna is pre-built in panels.  Each panel connects together to form a freestanding sauna.  There are a variety of modular saunas, including outdoor, indoor traditional, and infrared.  You can customize your modular sauna, or opt for a standardized option.  

What do i need for a custom sauna?

You have to have a space to put your custom sauna.  In most cases you’ll need to wire in 240 volt power (if you’re putting in an electric sauna).  From there, we can help you turn any room into a sauna no matter whether you already have the sauna space framed in, are taking down drywall in a current room, or are starting completely from scratch.  Contact us to get started.  

What electrical do i need for my sauna?

The electrical you’ll need will depend on the size of the heater/ sauna that you have. 

The smallest traditional saunas (4’x4′ Hallmark Series) we offer use 1.7kW or 2.3kW heaters and can use 120 volt – 15AMP or 120 volt – 20AMP (dedicated) outlets respectively.  Any traditional electric sauna with a 6kW heater or larger require 30-45AMPs – 24o volt power (AMPs depend on the size of the heater).  

Our Finnleo Infrared S-Series Saunas will can be plugged into a standard 120 volt – 15AMP outlet or 120 volt – 20AMP outlet depending on the model.  Learn more about the S-Series Infrared Saunas here.

Our modular Finnleo InfraSaunas (hybrid) will use either standard 120 volt- 15AMP, 120 volt – 20AMP dedicated, or 30 AMP – 240 volt power depending on the model.  

Custom saunas (traditional, infrared and hybrid) require 30-45 AMP – 240 volt power.
