Sauna FAQs

How are your saunas different than others on the market?

Our saunas are completely built by hand in Bloomfield, Ontario using materials from local suppliers and wood sourced from the Ontario Boreal Forest. We fully insulate our saunas and use vapour barrier and house wrap to keep the heat and steam in - and the harsh Canadian elements out. We also use a locally sourced corrugated metal roof and flashing with roofing membrane underneath - built to last a lifetime.

Will you manage and oversee delivery and installation of our sauna?

- Yes. Your buying experience isnt complete until you are sweating in your new sauna.

What insulation do you use?

- We use fire and mould resistant Rockwool r-14 in our saunas.

What type of foundation or base do I need for my sauna?

- Our saunas arrive on pressure treated 4x4 runners which can rest on gravel, poured concrete, deck blocks, patio stones, sonotubes or helical piles. We have even had clients install their saunas directly on sand or the forest floor.

Why don't you use red cedar?

- Saunas are traditionally built out of the wood that is found in the forests surrounding the sauna. Since our saunas are built in Ontario, we use local white cedar, pine, spruce and aspen in our construction.

Aren't these species of wood more prone to mould?

- No. All of these types of wood have a natural resistance to mould and rot. We also always recommend that you thoroughly dry out your sauna by running your heater for about 20-25 minutes after your sauna bath - no matter what material is used.

Are your saunas pest proofed?

- Yes.

Do you sell infrared saunas?

- All of our saunas can be purchased without a heater - and we can source any infrared system you may need.

Do you build your saunas using SIP panels?

- No, it is simply a coincidence! SIP panels are not suitable for sauna construction.

Can I choose a custom stain for the exterior of my sauna?

- Yes!

What type of roof do your saunas have?

- We use a corrugated metal roof with all appropriate flashing All seems are caulked. Under our steel roof we use a Tyvek roofing membrane.

Do you ship to the US?

- Yes! We take care of lining up all shipping logistics and duties and are USMCA compliant (no 20%). We also design and consult in the US and Europe.
