Sauna FAQs.

Can I throw water on my sauna heater?

Yes!  All sauna heaters that are UL listed (in the United States) are designed so that you can throw water on them.  This includes traditional indoor and outdoor saunas. 

The electrical you’ll need will depend on the size of the heater/ sauna that you have.  Always check the sauna heater installation manual to ensure the correct wiring will be connected to the heater.

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.

Being from Minnesota and knowing the cold temperatures we will see through January and February, yes, all of our outdoor saunas are built and insulated to perform in and withstand Minnesota winters.   This includes our custom outdoor saunas, Euro Series, Auroom Series, and Northstar Series

A resounding yes.  We have a variety of different saunas on display at our Cokato, Minnesota showroom at all times. 

We have custom traditional saunas, traditional modular saunas (both indoor and outdoor), infrared saunas, and hybrid saunas (traditional & electric combo) on display.  

Not only that, but we have different sauna heaters, wood types, doors, and sauna layouts, and more on display. Don’t hesitate to stop out at our sauna showroom! 

Yes!  We built a custom traditional cedar sauna in our showroom so that you could come and try it!  It’s in a room with a shower so that you can clean off after you’re done. 

If you’re looking for an infrared sauna, we one those that can be tested too!  

If you want to get the full sauna experience to feel the bliss that comes with taking a sauna, stop on in.  Give us a call (612.505.9700) or send us a message through our contact page before so we can warm a sauna for you. 

Yes. In some cases, it’s actually possible to have both a wood fired heater and an electric sauna heater in the same 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.  

If you are building an outdoor sauna, you’ll need a flat surface to put the sauna on.  Ideally the sauna has a concrete pad, or pavers to sit on.

A modular sauna comes pre-fabricated in panels to form a free-standing sauna.  Each of the panels, or sections, connect together.  

A modular sauna is a great way to put a sauna up quickly and gives you the option to take it with you when you move.

We offer standard panel built outdoor saunas as well as customized outdoor saunas in a variety of sizes. Our Euro saunas come standard with a Clear Western Red Cedar exterior and Nordic White Spruce interior. 

Our NorthStar outdoor saunas utilize Nordic White Spruce on both the interior and exterior.
