One of our favorite custom outdoor saunas to build, this sauna features clear cedar sauna interior and a full glass front. Upper and lower bench skirts. The exterior is white board & batten. Finnleo Himalaya Rock Tower Heater w/ SaunaLogic 2 Wi-Fi Control.
We built this sauna for none other than Finnish-born former NHL player Joonas Donskoi (view his Instagram post of it here). It features black taika & alder in the sauna room w/ an Iki Wood-Fired Stove.
This sauna was another favorite. 8×12 with Diamond Kote siding and a Knotty Red Cedar interior. It features a big window overlooking the lake and a Finnleo Himalaya Heater. Wayne left us a Google Review – you can read that here.
This is a 7’x8′ Outdoor Sauna w/ Blue Painted LP SmartSide. The interior is clear western red cedar. It has a middle platform with the Himalaya Heater in the back center with benching off to each side.
This outdoor sauna was a modular sauna, painted blue. It features Nordic Spruce on the interior/ exterior. Douglas Fir Frame Sauna Door.
The traditional Finnish Sauna is stress free. So is our process. We share our passion with folks who appreciate Minnesota nice and have a desire to share our passion for sauna.
There are a variety of customizations that you can put in your sauna beyond the size & layout and heater choice.
Wood types, bench skirts, backrests, door, and bullnose trim are popular customizations in saunas.
The wood type is one of the largest factors to consider in the sauna. Each wood type offers a different feel. Wood types can be mixed and matched (from exterior to interior, wall T&G to benching).
We offer five main wood types in our saunas.
Clear Western Red Cedar, Clear Canadian Hemlock, Finnleo Black Taika, Nordic Spruce, and Knotty Cedar.
Clear western red cedar is an elegant sauna wood type with much variance in color and a distinct cedar smell.
Clear Western Red Cedar is a popular choice in saunas because of its beautiful colors and scent.
Clear Canadian Hemlock is a popular wood in saunas for its consistent light red color, tight grains, and minimal scent.
Clear Canadian Hemlock is an excellent wood type for the sauna. It features a distinct lighter red color, with less variance in color than Cedar. Often a popular choice for those who don’t prefer the smell of Cedar.
Nordic Spruce is very commonly used in saunas built in the Nordic Region (the birthplace of traditional saunas).
Nordic Spruce has a distinct, brighter yellow color with knots. It’s popular because of it’s less expensive than the other most common wood types for saunas. Nordic Spruce also makes sauna rooms feel more “spacious”.
Because Nordic Spruce is knotty (knots get hot in the sauna), all of our sauna benching and backrests in Nordic Spruce saunas are built with knot-free Abachi or Aspen.
Black Taika offers a unique, classy look. It pairs well with Clear Hemlock benching and backrests.
Finnish saunas would turn dark brown, or even black as they got used over the years. To match a similar look, Finnleo offers Black Taika.
Knotty Cedar is a less expensive way to put Cedar in your sauna.
Knotty Eastern White Cedar is a popular, budget-friendly way to put Cedar wood in your sauna. Because the knots will get hot in the sauna, the benching & backrests are made of a Clear Western Red Cedar.
Bench skirts are an aesthetic upgrade in the sauna. They sit in the area between the lower and upper bench.
The backrest is a critical aspect of the sauna because it provides comfort, while also improving the aesthetic long-term look of the wall tongue and groove boards.
The 2-Bar Backrest comes standard in all of our custom saunas. View upgradable backrest options below.
The 2-Bar Backrest comes standard in every custom cut sauna. Available in all wood types.
The 3-Bar Wide is available in Clear Canadian Hemlock.
