Frequently Asked Questions


What makes your saunas different from others on the market?
We specialize in handcrafted, outdoor, wood-clad saunas built in the traditional Finnish style — simple, honest, and made to last. Unlike mass-produced or kit saunas, each build is custom, using quality materials and thoughtful layouts like change rooms, large windows, and wood-burning or electric stoves. Our focus is on craftsmanship, natural heat, and a genuine sauna experience — no shortcuts.

How much does a custom sauna cost?
Our 8'x12' sauna with hot room and change room starts at a base price, with options like roof styles, windows, decks, and stove types available to personalize your build. Contact us for a detailed quote.

What’s included in a basic sauna build?
The standard model includes an insulated hot room, a changing area, tiered cedar benches, ventilation, and your choice of heater. It’s ready to use with just the right mix of function and finish.

Do you offer consultations?
Yes! We offer one-on-one consultations to walk you through the design and build process. Whether you're exploring or ready to build yourself, you can book a virtual or phone session online.

What heat source is best — wood-burning or electric?
It depends on your site. Wood-burning is ideal for off-grid or lake setups and offers a traditional softer löyly feel. Electric is convenient for urban or backyard installs. We’ll help you choose based on your needs.

Do I need a permit to install a sauna?
Usually, no permit is required for small accessory buildings under 108 sq. ft. in Ontario, but plumbing and electrical services are required. We can help you check with your local bylaw office.

How long does it take to build and deliver?
On average, builds take 3–6 weeks depending on your design and schedule. We’ll confirm your timeline once details are finalized.

What maintenance is required?
Minimal. Just keep it ventilated and clean. We use cedar and quality exterior materials built to last, so your sauna can handle Canadian seasons with ease.

Can I add extras like a deck or panoramic window?
Yes. Add-ons like front decks, glass windows, exterior lights, and custom rooflines are all available to make your sauna fit your style and space.
