Custom Saunas FAQs

What is a sauna?

A sauna is a small room designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions. The steam and high heat cause the user to sweat and work to relax the body’s muscles, improve circulation, and stimulate the release of endorphins (the body’s all-natural “feel-good” chemical.) Saunas are typically heated to temperatures between 150°F and 195°F.

Can I have my in-home sauna built with a different material than wood?

This is not something we recommend. The reason for this is that denser materials, such as ceramic tile or stone, transfer heat more efficiently and could actually burn users at typical sauna air temperatures. The cell density of softwoods, like cedar, will feel much cooler at average sauna temperatures and are much more comfortable to sit or lean on. We want to make sure every sauna we build has your safety in mind, and wood materials present the safest building options.
