Modern Nordic Saunas
Handmade in the Pacific Northwest
If you want a superb sauna experience, details matter.
An excellent sauna is the right combination of design and engineering. Beauty and function. It doesn’t matter how good a sauna looks if the benches aren’t at the right heights, the ceiling shape is wrong or there isn’t proper ventilation.
If your sauna looks great but your feet are always cold, there’s an uncomfortable build up of CO2, or the heat doesn’t radiate in a comfortable way, eventually you will stop using it and you will own a very fancy shed. But get these details right and you and your loved ones will enjoy it for decades.
Heater
HUUM Drop 6kw heater with UKU wifi controller. Set it to be ready in the morning when you wake up or turn it on from the app before you leave work. Comes with temperature and door sensors and controller.
Great radiant heat with a large thermal mass of 120 pounds of rocks
Ventilation
Cloudline Pro T6 mechanical ventilation with wifi and auto on/off. Proper ventilation is fundamental to a good sauna experience. This system can be set to turn on automatically when the sauna heats up and keep CO2 levels low so you can enjoy the heat and not feel the uncomfortable effects of carbon dioxide build up in your body. It also reduces temperature stratification.
Set it and forget it, making minor adjustments by opening and closing intake and exhaust vents or change the programming from the controller or app.
Design
This sauna is beautiful from the outside and still designed to be functional. Inside the ceiling has been structured to lower the heat pocket above the window and properly distribute löyly towards the benches.
The ceiling and benches are high enough that feet are above the rocks, the first rule of löyly.
Materials
Benches of 2x4 cedar with no exposed fasteners.
6'x6' tempered Low-E glass double pane window and door.
Standing seam roof that will last decades.
Properly built sauna walls with mineral wool insulation, foil vapor barrier and an air gap under the cedar lining.
Features
IP68 24v LED lights under benches are on a dimmer switch. Outside lights are on a dimmer and have a night light mode.
GFCI outlet with USB ports, sauna controller, light switches and towel rack on the porch.
Dimensions
Size matters. The room needs to be large enough to not feel radiant heat directly from the heater. This sauna is just right for two but can seat up to four.
The overall dimensions of the base are 10'x7.5'. The hot room is 7' along the bench wall, 6' on the heater wall and 7.5' high at the peak.
