SAUNAS CAN BE EITHER INDOOR OR OUTDOOR
OUTDOOR SAUNAS
Outdoor Saunas are designed and built to provide a wonderful steam or dry-heat experience and still be able to handle the harsh elements of the outdoors. They will typically be wood fired with a separate changing room to allow for changing and cooling off during and after the sauna. An outdoor sauna can have extended roof overhangs to keep the elements away from the building and to provide shelter to the main entrance. Outdoor saunas can have electric stoves as well, for folks who prefer to experience the outdoors without having to deal with obtaining wood and feeding the wood stove.
INDOOR SAUNAS
Indoor saunas are typically built with conventional building materials and lined with the wood of your choice. Often cedar is used. They will have an exterior that is compatible with the design of your home. Usually, an indoor sauna does not have a changing room as you are inside your home and privacy is not an issue.
Our Sauna Stoves
We use the Kuuma stove manufactured by Lampa Manufacturing located in Tower, Minnesota. This is the only wood-fired sauna stove that has been issued a UL rating. We also use Excel chimney components that have the highest safety rating of all Class-A chimneys in the industry.
In our indoor saunas, we use TyloHelo electric sauna stoves, made in Finland and Minnesota. TyloHelo has been manufacturing electric sauna stoves for 100+ years. They provide highly reliable, energy efficient electric sauna components.
SAUNA OPTIONS
Outdoor Options
- Full logs: “D” style, double tongue and groove, gasket sealing between the logs and long screws to secure the logs together.
- Conventional 2 x 4 construction with mineral insulation, foil thermal barrier and a variety of interior and exterior material choices. Typically, we would use cedar paneling for the interior, primarily in the hot room and a type of pine in the changing room.
- There is also choice on the roof design and roof materials.
- Windows can also be added in the hot room and in the dividing wall of the changing room or in the doorways.
- Add electricity for lights.
- If you will bathe a lot in your sauna, then maybe add a floor drain or a concrete floor to manage water drainage.
Indoor Options
- Can be in your basement, spare room or garage, anywhere that you have about an 8’ square area. Indoor saunas can be smaller although you will not have the ability to lay down flat if the sauna is less than 6 or 7 feet’ long.
- Some saunas are rectangular so that one side is long enough to lie down.
- Indoor saunas can be positioned near an outside door to allow access for cooling off and yet be private.
Other Creative Possibilities
Have an old shed tucked away in the backyard? A quiet chicken coop by the garden or pond? Maybe there’s an unused corner on your deck near the pool?
These overlooked spaces hold beautiful potential. With a bit of vision and craftsmanship, we can transform them into warm, welcoming saunas—spaces for stillness, restoration, and connection.
