What about barrel saunas? I see them advertised all the time.

We encourage you to thoroughly evaluate the design of the barrel sauna to ensure it maintains the authenticity of the sauna experience. Our belief is that it deviates from this experience due to its unique shape, making a 2-tier bench layout impossible – a crucial feature for elevating the feet above or near the rock height. Most people experience the dreaded “cold feet syndrome” in barrel saunas, especially when the weather is cold outside. 

 

Additionally, these saunas frequently lack robust insulation, proper ventilation and a draining floor, all of which are essential elements in an authentic traditional sauna.

 

Barrel saunas may be visually appealing but they are horrible when it comes to function. We consider them to be faux saunas.

Our workshop is at: 160 Finchdene Square, Unit 11, Scarborough, M1X 1B2.

We don’t have room in our shop to keep a permanent demo unit there but we usually have 2-3 sauna builds going on at the same time so there is a good chance we have a fully built unit for you to come and check out.

We also have a 4 person sauna that was built for testing / using / and showing customers at 3 Hamilton Hall Drive, Markham.

If you want to see a demo, just send us a message and we can let you know if we have one of our latest builds available in our shop or if you should come to Markham.
