Sauna FAQ's

Via courier on a pallet

No, unless the listing or title specifically, "Outdoor sauna" then it is not manufactured or intended to be sited directly outside without making amendments or customisations to the product or at least sitting it in a suitable dry housing/summer house

To work out how much our Steam Showers, Sauna's, Whirlpool Baths or indeed any product costs to run, is a question of the amount of KW's or watts the item uses, multiplied by how long they are used and then multiply the cost per KW per hour you have on your utility bill Let's break it down a little: According to THIS WEBSITE HERE - the average cost per KW (1000 watts) is about £0.15p per hour at the time of writing So, if a steam shower, for example, is 2.8KW's, to run it on full power for 1 hour the most it could ever cost you would be £0.42p 2.8 x 0.15 = £0.42 per hour One thing to note is that in the case of a steam shower, they do not run constantly, only producing steam to 'top-up' the temperature and keep it constant once it has reached the user's desired temperature. So the actual cost is less than the above for a sauna session. (The above being the most severe possible if the shower doors were left open for example and the generator was constantly running which it does not) Now let's look at some other example items: The Vidalux 2 Person Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna is rated at 2300w (2.3kw) so given a running cost of the maximum setting of £0.35p per hour (2.3 x 0.15) The Vidalux 4 person is 2800w and has a maximum running cost of just £0.42 per hour You can apply the same calculation to any unit if you simply multiply to KW or Watts by the average cost per KW per hour The Comparison Gym membership - £40 per monthFuel costs to get to the gym and the lost travel time Cost of a pint of beer or glass of wine, your choice of branded face mask or moisturising cream........ The list is endless but the comparison of the benefits is not!!

We ask for enough space down one side to allow you to get to the back, then enough at the back to have access for the build Once built it can slide back to the required position against the wall You would need an extra 10cm above for the connections in the roof space  

You would need additional space to lift the roof on to the walls as well as to give access to the connections within the roof. 215cm would be more than sufficient

Anyone can install one of these saunas, indeed they are designed to be quick build and any DIY'er can have the body assembled within 20 minutes. If there is a plug socket nearby, they simply plugin. UK law states that any new electric supply (feed from the mains board or ring main) is installed by a 'Part P' registered electrician. This will more than likely be part of any home insurance also.  The manual refers to this, but for the actual build of the sauna and 'plugging in', anyone can undertake this

Yes, the innovative 'click and lock' system means they can be with you for life in any room or home

You do need to be able to get access to each side to build so at least the width of a body at one side and the back. The top you just need enough space to be able to get your hands in, approx 200cm

A traditional sauna combines the benefits of heat and steam. An infrared sauna only offers the benefit of heat but does penetrate deeper and offers more health rewards. Infrared saunas are easier to tolerated and easier to facilitate in the home. However many traditionalists prefer the natural solutions of a traditional sauna

A traditional sauna works by heating both the general space and the container of rocks. Water is poured on the rocks and these create steam to create humidity. Modern use infrared heat to penetrate deeper into the skin below surface level and heat from the inside out. Both methods encourage perspiration, increased blood flow and burn calories
