Have you been looking at different saunas for your home to improve your health and well-being? You might be wondering what type of sauna is best. Should you pick one that goes inside your home, or is an outdoor sauna better? Are there any safety issues to know about? Here are some dos and don’ts of installing a home sauna to help you make an informed decision.
Do: Understand the differences between indoor and outdoor saunas
Selecting an indoor or outdoor sauna and deciding on the design involves considering several factors. These include the source of heat—whether you prefer the traditional heat and wood scent from a wood-burning sauna, which is suitable only for outdoor use, or the versatility of a traditional sauna with an electric stove, which can function both indoors and outdoors with the proper connections. Alternatively, if a milder heat from an infrared sauna appeals to you, note that it should be installed indoors.
Another factor is the style and design. Would you like a traditional, rustic look or something modern with automated features? Think about the size and capacity as well. What is the maximum number of people who will be using it? Saunas for home come in different sizes, accommodating 1, 2, 4, 6, or more people.
Don’t Choose your sauna too hastily
If you’re very eager to buy a sauna for your home and ready to start your new health plan, it’s easy to buy the first sauna that looks nice. We suggest you hold back a bit and think. Take some time to pick the best sauna for your needs. Ask yourself these questions before you decide on a sauna:
- What are my health goals?
- How many people will use the sauna?
- How much should I budget for a home sauna?
- Will my power source be suitable for an indoor or outdoor sauna?
- Is a cedar barrel sauna better suited for my needs than a traditional square sauna?
