All our heaters are made of high quality surgical-grade stainless steel, so there’s no need to worry about rusting out the heater.







The electronics in our heaters are designed and certified for water safety, so you have no worries about electrical shocks that can happen with other heaters.



















Traditional finish saunas are enjoyed by adding water to the rocks, which add humidity to the room – not only does it help to relax, it helps open the skins pours to enhance sweating. The perceived room temperature also increases as the humidity level increases. Overall, getting you more out of your cedar sauna experience.
