What Is a Traditional Sauna and Why Choose One?

A traditional sauna, often called a Finnish sauna, delivers an authentic heat therapy experience using a stove to heat stones that warm the air, creating a hot room with soft heat and steam when water is ladled over the rocks. This dry heat combined with bursts of humidity offers a fantastic environment for detoxification, stress relief, and joint pain alleviation. Unlike infrared saunas , which heat the body directly, traditional saunas use warm air to envelop your skin, encouraging a deep sweat that benefits your body and mind.

Our collection includes durable saunas made from premium Canadian Hemlock timber, built to withstand Australian climates, whether installed indoors or outdoors. Choose from compact 1-person models to spacious 4-person saunas perfect for families or social wellness sessions.
