BUYING DUE DILIGENCE
Fifteen questions to ask any sauna company
The questions that separate a real builder from a reseller, and our answer to each.
The outdoor sauna market is full of new entrants. Some are legitimate. Some are import-and-flip schemes. Some are well-meaning builders who will run out of cash mid-build.
Fifteen questions, written by Mark, covering the things that actually decide whether a sauna performs and lasts: the vapour barrier, the venting, the floor and drainage, the roof, how the heater is sized, and who is really building it.
Each question comes with why it matters, the red flags that show up when a builder is cutting corners, and our own answer on the record. Ask the same fifteen everywhere you shop, including here, and hold the answers side by side.

Why we wrote this
An honest market is a market we win in.
Our work — Canadian-built, panelized, certified electrical, real warranty — costs more than a flatbed of imported parts. In a market where every offer looks the same on a webpage, the easy answer is to pick on price. The guide is how we put the differences back on the table.
