Build a Sauna That’s Designed for You — Not a Generic Kit

This service is for anyone who wants a sauna that is designed correctly, not guessed together from a generic kit. Every sauna we design is tailored to your space, goals, and preferences, with attention to the details that actually affect performance, comfort, and longevity.

Instead of forcing your project into a pre-built box, we design around your room, your vision, and how you plan to use the sauna. The result is a sauna that heats evenly, feels better to use, and looks intentional — not improvised.

Our team has designed and supplied custom sauna builds for homeowners, contractors, and commercial projects across the U.S., ranging from simple residential installs to complex, code-sensitive builds.

Why This Service Is Different

Most sauna sellers focus on selling kits. What’s often missing are the details that separate an average sauna from an exceptional one:

• Correct bench heights for proper heat stratification
• Proper heater sizing and placement
• Ventilation planning for fresh air and even heat
• Lighting placement that enhances the experience, not distracts
• Wood selection based on feel, durability, and aesthetics

This process helps avoid costly mistakes, failed inspections, undersized heaters, and rebuilds caused by poor early planning.

We don’t just recommend parts — we design the entire sauna experience so everything works together.

Our 4-Step Custom Sauna Process

Step 1 – Choose Free or Priority

Submit the free design form, or purchase Priority for the full white-glove experience. The Priority fee is fully credited toward your materials purchase.

Step 2 – Share Your Project Details

Complete a short form with your room dimensions, goals, preferences, and any inspiration you have. This gives us everything needed to design your sauna correctly.

Step 3 – Custom Sauna Design & Review

We design a custom sauna layout that aligns with your space and vision. Designs include room layout guidance, bench configuration, heater placement, ventilation strategy, a 3D rendering, and a complete, organized materials list.

Once you’re happy with the design, you’ll receive a clear, professional materials quote with everything needed to build it correctly.

Step 4 – One-Click Ordering & Ongoing Support

Approve the design, order all recommended materials in one click, and we’ll package and ship everything to you. Our team remains available for installation questions along the way.

Everything is consolidated into a single, coordinated order—saving weeks of sourcing time and back-and-forth.

Typical Timeline

• Design form reviewed within 3-6 business hours.
• Initial custom design, 3D rendering and materials quote usually delivered within 24 business hours — Priority projects always go first.
• Revisions (if needed) turned around quickly, with Priority revisions at the front of the queue.

Premium Materials — From Classic to Exotic

Choose from an extensive selection of high-quality sauna woods, including:

• Aspen and alder
• Thermo-treated woods
• Cedar
• Exotic options like thermo-radiata pine

We help you choose materials that feel great, last longer, and suit your design goals — not just what’s easiest to sell.

Sauna Heaters — Selected Correctly for Your Build

We guide you through heater selection with precision, based on sauna size, layout, insulation, usage style, and heat expectations.

We carry and specify a full range of sauna heating options, including:

• Traditional Finnish electric sauna heaters from brands like Harvia, HUUM, IKI, and Saunum
• Wood-burning sauna stoves for off-grid or high-heat traditional builds
• Infrared sauna heater panels for infrared or hybrid sauna designs

This includes:

• Correct heater sizing for your room
• Proper placement recommendations
• Control options that match how you’ll use the sauna

A properly selected heater is the foundation of a great sauna — and one of the most common mistakes in DIY and contractor-built projects.

Custom Salt Walls, Red Light Therapy & Interior Enhancements

Enhance your sauna with optional design features such as:

• Custom-built salt walls (accent or full-feature)
• Medical-grade red light therapy panels
• Under-bench and accent lighting
• WiFi and app-controlled LED lighting systems

These elements are designed intentionally into the sauna — not added as an afterthought.

Who This Service Is For

• Homeowners building a custom indoor or outdoor sauna
• Contractors and builders who want a clear, coordinated sauna plan
• Developers and property owners adding wellness amenities
• Designers and architects who need expert sauna input
• Commercial projects such as gyms, spas, retreats, and short-term rentals
• Anyone who wants expert guidance instead of trial-and-error

Whether you’re building one sauna or specifying multiple projects, this service gives you a professionally designed plan, correctly selected materials, and a smooth path from concept to installation.
