Pick a type of sauna

The first step in the home sauna installation process is picking the type of sauna that you want to install. The most common choices available to UK homeowners are traditional saunas and infrared sauna.

Each offer their own numerous benefits to the user and vary mainly in the type of heat that they produce. Traditional sauna, which still work on the same principle as Finnish saunas from many centuries ago, use heater rocks or stoves to heat the entire sauna room. Infrared saunas on the other hand, direct the heat into the users body using infrared heaters attached to the wall and ceiling.

If you want the traditional wood clad steamy sauna experience, a traditional Finnish sauna is the right call, whilst infrared saunas suit those looking for intense muscle rejuvenation and low running costs.

Pick a location

Once you know what type of sauna you want, you will be in a better position to identify a location for it to be installed in. From single person units to multiple occupancy rooms, wherever you choose must have the space to fit the sauna and easy access to electricity. If you choose a traditional sauna, you will also need to consider ventilation. Saunas can be installed either indoors or outdoors, with infrared saunas offering the highest level of flexibility due to the fact they can be made from a variety of different materials, not only wood,
