What is the ideal sauna temperature?

Choosing the ideal temperature for the sauna varies among individuals. Personally, I, Mark, prefer it at the maximum of 90 degrees Celsius, while others may enjoy temperatures around 70–80 degrees Celsius. Our sauna comes with a temperature control, allowing you to experiment with settings. It’s worth noting that our sauna is regulated to a maximum of 90 degrees Celsius, complying with Canada’s standards for electric saunas. Additionally, sauna isn’t just about air temperature; it’s about the overall heat experience, including radiant heat from walls, benches, and the heater, which our sauna provides.

Many electric saunas on the market feature excessive amounts of glass. However, glass has a limited insulating R value of 1–4. This design can force the heater to work harder, potentially causing issues and limiting the maximum temperature. Additionally, achieving uniform radiating heat throughout the sauna becomes challenging with excessive glass.

That 90 degrees is not just the ceiling, it is a number we put in writing. Every Ryt Sauna we deliver and install is built to reach a full 90°C inside even when it is −25°C outside. If one of ours does not, we get one attempt to correct it, and if we cannot, we collect the sauna and refund you in full. That stands for twelve months from delivery. How it is measured and what has to be true is set out in section 5.7 of our warranty policy.
