Sauna FAQS

Our saunas are built to last decades. They are not your typical Pre-fabricated sauna that arrives in a box. Most prefab saunas that are shipped in a box lack crucial building design elements such as vapor barrier and insulation. If they do have these makeups, they are most often times not adequate for building code requirements for our area. This results in premature deterioration of the sauna building materials over time. Our saunas are built in a controlled shop environment using pressure treated floor systems, fully insulated with vapor barrier, required air barrier, professionally installed exterior siding, and metal roof systems. Our saunas are designed to perform in our wet British Columbia weather and built with practices to ensure you sauna holds up to the elements. Our saunas are finished with sustainably sourced western red cedar, the best wood available in our region. Our saunas are fully built in our shop, shipped out and craned into place at your location, with no assembly required.

It all start with a phone call. We will gather all required goals and information regarding your build, and then give you an approximate build price. If the price works for your budget, then we start the design process to achieve the sauna of your dreams. We do not provide any design work or details until we are officially in contract with clients. It should also be noted that we do not put our clients into a que, until we are in contract. We often have clients call us about a build, only to call back in a month to realize we are now building for other clients and their wait time has increased. This should be noted for those who are serious about a custom sauna build. If you are serious about a sauna build, please give us a call, rather than sending us a message.

Typically our smaller builds can take only 30 days to build, depending on how busy we are. Generally we complete prefab saunas in our shop in 30-60 days depending on size. Larger custom builds can take longer. But, if you want a sauna that is going to last, it takes careful planning. Another thing to note is that we are most often booked a few months in advance, so getting in the que is essential for a quick turnaround time.

If this is your first time, congratulations! This will be one of the most exhilarating experiences you will ever have! Bring a bathing suit and an open mind. The benefits of sauna and cold plunge will become apparent after your session, but It takes a bit of bravery at first to take the plunge. Getting out of the hot sauna increases the desire to cool down. Make sure you take a good rinse in the shower before you enter the tubs. Stay in the tub as long as you can. Try and beat your last time by watching the clock. The most health benefits come when you begin to shiver. Do as many hot/ cold cycles as you want. Its best to end on a cold cycle. Let your body warm up on its own, for the maximum health benefits. You will notice changes in your overall mental state, and have a great sleep after any session. We encourage you to try some physical activity, exercise, or go to the gym approximately 3 hours after a hot/ cold thermo-therapy session. You will feel the best you have every felt in your entire life! We supply tea and water, but your more than welcome to bring your own. No glass containers or bottles are permitted on site. Sessions are 2 hours long, and you will notice that the main lighting will dim to signal the end of your session. Please do not arrive early. We need time to prepare.
