What Is The Main Difference Between A Traditional Sauna & An Infrared Sauna?
- Traditional saunas use heated air to warm the entire sauna space, typically reaching temperatures between 70°C and 100°C. This creates a dry, high-heat environment, ideal for deep, intense sweating and a classic sauna experience. Traditional saunas can also include steam by pouring water over hot stones, adding humidity to the air for a more soothing effect.
- Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared light to directly warm the body rather than the air around it. This allows for a gentler heat, typically between 45°C and 60°C, which many people find more comfortable while still enjoying the benefits of deep sweating. Infrared heat penetrates the skin more deeply, promoting relaxation, muscle recovery, and improved circulation.
What's The Difference Between Red Cedar & Thermospruce?
Both Red Western Cedar and Thermospruce are exceptional choices for sauna construction, offering premium quality and durability suited to different environments and preferences.
Thermospruce is a favorite in Nordic countries, prized for its excellent performance in cold climates, making it ideal for saunas in covered or sheltered spaces. Its ability to insulate well provides a cozy sauna experience even in cooler temperatures. However, Thermospruce may need a bit more care if exposed to direct sunlight, with occasional varnishing recommended to maintain its look over time.
Red Western Cedar, in contrast, brings a natural resilience to sun exposure, making it a long-lasting choice for outdoor saunas. Its natural oils offer protection from the elements, resulting in minimal maintenance. Additionally, cedar has a distinctive, pleasant aroma that enhances the sauna experience, adding a calming, spa-like atmosphere to each session.
Whether you’re drawn to the Nordic charm of Thermospruce or the sun-resilient, aromatic qualities of Red Cedar, both woods represent the finest quality for sauna construction, ensuring a lasting and luxurious experience.

What's The Difference Between The Cube Design & A Barrel Sauna?
Unlike traditional barrel saunas, the Cube Sauna improves upon common shortcomings. It ensures even warmth throughout the sauna with enhanced heat distribution and positions benches higher up for a superior seating position near the heat source. This design immerses you in the sauna experience rather than placing you below it, enhancing overall comfort and enjoyment. Additionally, our sauna features powerful heaters that efficiently generate and maintain heat, ensuring quick warm-up times and a consistently comfortable sauna environment.
What Maintenance Is Required?
Our Saunas are designed for minimal maintenance, but it's important to care for it to ensure longevity and optimal performance. We recommend wiping down the interior with a damp cloth every month to maintain hygiene. Leaving the door open after use allows airflow, which helps to keep the sauna dry and fresh. Additionally, we suggest varnishing the exterior once assembled and every 6-12 months thereafter, depending on the sauna's location, to protect it from environmental elements and maintain its appearance. These simple steps will help preserve your sauna and ensure years of enjoyment.
