About Saunas

Compare indoor infrared cabins and two outdoor oval barrel saunas for your home. The Chilliwack and Tremblant are indoor far-infrared models. The Outdoor Oval Barrel comes in two versions designed for outdoor installation: an infrared-only model that runs from a standard 13 amp socket, and a hybrid with a 4.5kW traditional stove plus infrared. The hybrid stove needs its own 32 amp supply, fitted by a local electrician.

Start with the available space and the specific cabin dimensions. Compare capacity, heater type, electrical requirements, assembly, door clearance and the environment required by the model's installation instructions. An indoor cabin should not be treated as an outdoor sauna.

Prices, availability, delivery options and warranty details are shown on the individual product listings. Confirm access and installation arrangements before ordering, especially for an outdoor cabin or delivery into a room.

Use our infrared sauna UK guide for further buying considerations, then check the exact model specification with our team.

The benefits

Why a far infrared sauna belongs in your home

Regular far infrared sauna use is one of the simplest ways to add a relaxing wind-down habit at home. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, far infrared panels warm you directly — making longer, more comfortable sessions easy.

  • A deep, comfortable sweat

    Far infrared warms you to a deep, satisfying sweat at lower air temperatures than a traditional sauna.

  • Warming, soothing heat

    Radiant warmth is a comfortable way to relax and unwind after a busy day.

  • Warm and refreshing

    A warm session leaves you feeling refreshed and relaxed, time after time.

  • Relax and unwind

    A 20-minute session is a calm way to switch off and wind down at the end of the day.

  • An easy daily habit

    The gentle warmth makes a sauna an enjoyable habit to build into your week.

  • Affordable to run

    At around 70p per use, daily sauna sessions cost less than a cup of coffee.

Common questions

Far infrared sauna FAQ

What is a far infrared sauna?

A far infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit far infrared wavelengths that warm your body directly instead of heating the air around you. That means you can enjoy a deep, productive sweat at lower ambient temperatures — typically 45–60°C — which most people find far more comfortable than a traditional Finnish sauna.

How is it different from a traditional sauna?

Traditional saunas heat stones or air to very high temperatures (often 80–100°C) so that the hot air heats your body. Far infrared saunas skip the hot air and use radiant heat to warm you directly. The result is a more tolerable session, deeper sweat at lower temperatures and a quicker pre-heat — typically 10–15 minutes.

What are the benefits of far infrared heat?

Most people use a far infrared sauna for relaxation and the comfortable, low-temperature warmth - a calm way to unwind at home. We don't make medical claims about sauna use; if you're considering one for a specific health reason, please check with a qualified health professional first.

How long should a sauna session be?

If you are new to infrared, start with 15–20 minute sessions and build up to 30–40 minutes as you become accustomed to the heat. Always drink plenty of water before, during and after your session.

How often can I use it?

Most users enjoy their sauna 3–5 times per week. Daily use is safe for healthy adults as long as you stay properly hydrated and listen to your body. If you have any medical conditions, speak to your GP before starting a routine.

How much does it cost to run?

Running flat-out (heaters on continuously) at 27p/kWh, a 45-minute session costs about:

  • Chilliwack (1,385 W): 28p
  • Tremblant (1,920 W): 39p
  • Outdoor Oval Barrel – Hybrid: 41p infrared only (2,000 W), 91p stove only (4,500 W), £1.32 both together (6,500 W)
What power does the outdoor barrel sauna need?

The Outdoor Oval Barrel has a 4.5 kW traditional stove plus 2 kW of infrared. The infrared runs from a 13 A socket that can supply the full 13 A, and the stove needs a dedicated 32 A supply, with the cable fitted by a local electrician. You can use the infrared on its own while the 32 A supply is being installed.

How easy is it to install?

Our indoor saunas use a clasp-locking system and can be assembled by two people in around 30 minutes with no tools required. They plug into a standard UK 13A socket. White glove delivery and installation is available at checkout.

Do they need plumbing or ventilation?

No. Our indoor far infrared saunas are a dry heat — no plumbing, no steam and no additional ventilation required. Just plug in and enjoy.

What warranty do you offer?

Every sauna includes a 12-month limited warranty covering the heaters and cabinetry, backed by our UK-based customer care team.

Frequently asked

What is the best home sauna type for UK use?

It depends on your heat preference, available space and daily routine. Infrared saunas suit buyers who want lower operating temperatures, faster pre-heat and easier installation, while traditional heat experiences appeal to those wanting a classic sauna feel.

Are infrared saunas suitable for home installation?

Yes — many infrared models are designed for straightforward home use. They run from a standard socket, don't need plumbing or dedicated ventilation, and can usually be assembled in under 30 minutes.

How much does a home sauna cost to run?

Running cost varies by model size, insulation and usage frequency. Most owners of a 1–2 person far infrared sauna spend around 70p per session at typical UK electricity rates — less than a cup of takeaway coffee.

Is a 2 person sauna the most practical size?

For many UK homes, 2 person layouts provide a strong balance of space and usability — roomy enough to share with a partner, small enough to fit a spare room, garage or garden outbuilding, and efficient to heat.

Can a sauna complement a hot tub setup?

Yes — many customers combine sauna and spa routines for broader wellness use. An infrared session warms the body from the inside, while a hot tub soak relaxes muscles and joints from the outside. They pair especially well for post-exercise recovery.
