Questions
What types of saunas do you build?
We specialize in custom-built saunas with both stationary and mobile options. Our designs include traditional wood-burning models, electrically heated units, and hybrid configurations tailored to client specifications.
Can saunas be installed outdoors?
Yes, all our saunas are designed for outdoor installation using weather-resistant materials. The 2.25-inch cedar walls and Penofin Marine Oil finish protect against moisture and temperature fluctuations in outdoor environments.
How do wood-burning saunas work?
Our wood-burning saunas use EPA-certified stoves with integrated heat exchangers. Users add firewood to maintain temperatures between 150-195°F, creating natural steam when water is poured over heated rocks.
What maintenance is required?
We recommend annual Penofin Oil applications for exterior protection and daily brushing of interior surfaces. Proper ventilation after use prevents mold growth, while periodic stovepipe cleaning ensures safe operation of wood-burning models.
Are permits required for installation?
Permit requirements vary by location. As a licensed California contractor (1008066), we provide documentation to assist with local building code compliance for sauna installations.
