Questions We Get a Lot
Traditional saunas use a heater to warm the air inside the cabin, typically reaching temperatures between 150°F and 195°F, and steam is created by pouring water over the heated rocks. Infrared saunas use light energy to warm the body more directly at lower ambient temperatures. If you enjoy the classic high-heat, steam-rich experience, a traditional sauna is the authentic choice.
Yes — the outdoor saunas in this collection are built with solid wood construction specifically designed to handle year-round exposure to the elements. Cedar and hemlock are naturally resistant to moisture and temperature swings, making them well-suited for cold winters and warm summers alike. Just ensure the heater wattage matches your climate needs for faster heat-up times in colder conditions.
Most traditional saunas in this collection are powered by heaters ranging from 3000W to 6000W, which typically require a dedicated 220V or 240V electrical circuit rather than a standard household outlet. We strongly recommend consulting a licensed electrician before installation to ensure your home's wiring meets the requirements. Electrical specifications are listed on each individual product page.
All saunas are covered by our 30-Day Return Policy — please review the full Return Policy on our website for complete details on how to initiate a return.

About Our Traditional Saunas
Traditional saunas are one of the oldest and most respected recovery tools in the world, rooted in centuries of use across Nordic and European cultures. Unlike infrared alternatives, a traditional sauna heats the air inside the cabin to high temperatures using an electric or wood-fired heater, and users can pour water over heated rocks to generate bursts of steam and control the humidity of their session. The result is an intense, enveloping heat experience that encourages sweating, deep muscle relaxation, and a genuine sense of mental decompression after hard physical effort. Traditional saunas are well suited for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who trains hard and needs structured recovery time built into their routine. When choosing a traditional sauna, buyers should consider capacity, wood type, heater wattage, and whether the unit is intended for indoor or outdoor placement. Cedar and hemlock are popular wood choices for their natural durability and resistance to moisture. The right sauna is one that fits your space, your household size, and the intensity of the recovery routine you are building toward.
