What makes Cabin Saunas different from Barrel Saunas?
Two Tier Benches
When it comes to seating, sauna cabin kits offer greater comfort and customization. Unlike restrictive barrel saunas, the use of two-tier benches provide the freedom to find your ideal relaxation spot. Choose between sitting on the upper level to enjoy the soothing "loyly" pocket or settle into the gentler heat of the lower bench - the choice is yours. This ergonomic seating arrangement allows you to move about freely and tailor your precise preferences for your perfect sauna experience, whether you're enjoying some solo rejuvenation or sharing with friends.
Heat Circulation
Cabin saunas utilize a rectangular layout that promotes a steady, efficient heat flow. As the warmth rises, it fills the space with a consistently comfortable and relaxing temperature. Whether you opt for a classic wood-burning stove or the convenience of an electric heater, the cabin's design facilitates excellent air circulation, allowing the sauna to heat up quickly and maintain an optimal, uniform heat.
This thoughtful approach to heat management ensures that you can fully immerse yourself in the therapeutic warmth, whether you prefer the cocooning embrace of a barrel sauna or the steady, evenly dispersed heat of a cabin model. Each design offers its own unique benefits to cater to your personal sauna preferences and create your ideal relaxation sanctuary.
Weather Protection
The stable, solid construction of a cabin sauna's roof provides a reliable barrier against rain, snow, and wind. This enhanced weatherproofing of a secure shingle roof allows for year-round use, without external conditions disrupting the sauna experience.
In contrast, the segmented, rounded roof of a barrel sauna can be more susceptible to drafts and leaks, compromising the controlled sauna environment. Our cabin models maintain a cozy, climate-controlled space, ensuring your outdoor wellness oasis remains a peaceful refuge, regardless of the weather.
Sauna Heaters for Outdoor Sauna Cabins
When it comes to heating your cabin sauna, you have two distinct options - Electric or wood burning heaters. Each choice offers its own unique benefits, allowing you to tailor the sauna experience to your personal preferences.
Wood-Fired Sauna Stoves: For those who appreciate the rustic charm and traditional ambiance, a wood-burning sauna stove is a compelling choice. The crackling sound of the fire and the alluring aroma of smoke evoke the authentic, time-honored Finnish sauna experience. However, this option does require a bit more hands-on maintenance, as you'll need to regularly chop wood and clean up the ashes.
Electric Sauna Heaters: If you prioritize convenience and effortless operation, our electric sauna heaters are the ideal solution. With the simple push of a button, you can enjoy instant warmth and precise temperature control, without the hassle of tending to a wood-burning heater. These heaters are remarkably low-maintenance, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sauna's therapeutic benefits without interruption.
Ultimately, the decision between a wood-fired or electric sauna heater comes down to your personal preferences and lifestyle. Both options will transform your cabin sauna into a warm, relaxing sanctuary, so choose the heating method that best aligns with your needs and enhances your overall sauna experience.
We offer heaters from the worlds leading manufacturers including Harvia, HUUM & Saunum.
Cabin Sauna Kits vs Pre-Assembled Luxury Sauna
When it comes to adding a cabin sauna to your outdoor living space, you have two primary options to consider: a pre-assembled luxury model or a DIY kit.
Pre-Assembled Luxury Cabin Saunas: For those seeking a true turn-key solution, our pre-assembled cabin saunas offer unparalleled convenience. These models arrive fully constructed and insulated, ready to be crane-lifted into place on the back of a truck. With prices starting at $28,000, these premium saunas provide an effortless and luxurious sauna experience from the moment of installation.
Cabin Sauna Kits: On the other hand, if you're willing to put in a bit of DIY elbow grease, our cabin sauna kits present a more affordable alternative. These customizable kits start at just $5,000 and allow you to assemble the sauna yourself. While they don't come pre-insulated, the DIY approach gives you greater control over the final product and can be a rewarding project for the hands-on homeowner.
The choice between a pre-assembled luxury cabin sauna or a DIY kit ultimately comes down to your budget, timeline, and personal preferences. The pre-assembled models offer a seamless, high-end experience, while the kits provide a more customizable and cost-effective solution for the savvy homeowner. Whichever route you choose, you're sure to enjoy the unparalleled relaxation and wellness benefits of your very own cabin sauna room.
