Create Your Own Sauna

Step 1:Choose the Type of Wood

When it comes to choosing the type of wood for your custom sauna, there are a few factors to consider. The most important factor is the type of wood itself, as different woods have different properties that can affect the overall sauna experience.

One popular option is white cedar. It’s known for its natural resistance to rot and decay, making it a durable choice for a sauna. It also has a pleasant aroma that enhances the sauna experience.

Another option is red cedar which is also naturally resistant to rot and decay, and it is known for its beautiful reddish color. It is also a good insulator, which can help to keep the sauna warm.

We also build saunas from aspen, pine, or spruce. They all are known for their durability and resistance to moisture.
It is also important to keep in mind that the type of wood chosen should be suitable to the environment of the sauna. For example, if it will be located in a humid area or exposed to water, it’s important to choose woods that are more resistant to moisture such as white or red cedar.

Step 2: Choose the Size

There are a few things to consider to ensure that you get the perfect fit for your space and needs when you decide on your sauna size.

The first thing to consider is the number of people who will be using the sauna at one time. If you plan on using the sauna alone or with one other person, then a smaller size may be sufficient. However, if you plan on using the sauna with a group of people, then you will need to choose a larger size to accommodate everyone comfortably.

You also need to consider the space for the benches, the heater and the door as well as some additional rooms such as a change room with a sitting area, etc.. A sauna that is too small can feel cramped and uncomfortable, while a sauna that is too large can feel empty and less efficient. It’s important to find the right balance between the size of the sauna and the amount of space available.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the size of the sauna will affect the cost. Smaller saunas are generally less expensive than larger saunas, so it’s important to consider your budget when choosing the size of your custom sauna.

Overall, choosing the right size for your custom sauna is a process that requires careful consideration of your space, needs and budget. By working closely with us, you can ensure that you get the perfect size for your custom sauna.

Step 3: Pick between Electrical & Wood Burning (internal or external feed)

Both, electrical and wood-burning heaters, have their own unique set of benefits and drawbacks, and the best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences, the specific needs of your sauna, and what kind of sauna experience you would like to have.

An electrical heater is a popular choice for many people because it is easy to install and maintain. They are also energy efficient and can be controlled by a thermostat, which allows for precise temperature control.

Electrical heaters are also generally safer than wood burning heaters, as there is no open flame or risk of fire.

On the other hand, wood burning heaters are known for their unique and traditional sauna experience. They offer a natural and authentic sauna experience, as the heat is generated by burning wood. They also tend to be more cost-effective than electric heaters in the long run as wood is cheaper than electricity. Wood burning heaters also require regular cleaning and maintenance, while electrical heaters are relatively low maintenance.

Step 4: Choose Your Sauna Features

There are a variety of options available to enhance your sauna experience:
– LED lights are a popular option as they provide bright and energy-efficient lighting. You can also choose to have dimmer switches installed, so you can adjust the lighting to your desired level.
– Sound systems that allow you to play music or audio from your phone or other devices. This can add to the ambiance and relaxation of your sauna experience.
– Control panels which allow you to adjust the temperature, lighting, and other features of your sauna from a central location. This can be very convenient and can help to make your sauna experience more enjoyable.
– Thermal glass windows, walls, and doors, which not only provide a more contemporary look but also allow you to enjoy the view while inside the sauna.
– A steam room feature that will provide an additional element of relaxation and can be a great way to help you unwind after a long day.
– A shower if you plan on using your sauna regularly, as it allows you to clean off after your sauna session.
– Roof Shingles, Porch & Canopy with Sitting Area
– Ionizers, and many more
– Additional rooms such as a change room with a sitting area, relaxing area, etc.

Self Assembly

Your custom-built sauna can come as a pre-cut kit that comes with the step-by-step instructions. The assembly will take up to 6-9 hours. However, it can be longer as it depends on skills. The installation of the electrical heater must be done only by a licensed electrician. iSauna.ca is always available to assist you with sauna assembly on the phone or through the video call as well as assemble it for you at an affordable price.

High-Quality Tempered Glass Windows

Tempered glass is four times stronger and adapts better to dramatically changing temperatures than regular glass. It is designed with safety in mind, shattering into small circular pieces instead of sharp, jagged shards in case of breakage. All our saunas use tempered glass to ensure their high quality and reliability.

The heater should be checked regularly to ensure it is working properly and to make sure that it is clean from dust or debris. The sauna room should be ventilated to prevent humidity and mold build-up. The wood should be treated and sealed properly to maintain its appearance and prevent decay.
