What to Consider When Buying a Sauna

Adding a sauna to your home, cottage, or vacation property is an investment in relaxation and wellness. But before you take the plunge, here are some key factors to consider to ensure you choose the perfect sauna for your lifestyle and needs. 1. Type of Sauna Heater: Electric vs. Wood-Burning

The type of heater you choose can influence your sauna experience and maintenance needs. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Electric Heaters: These are convenient, efficient, and easy to control with Wi-Fi-enabled options. They're perfect for those who want minimal setup and quick heat.

  • Wood-Burning Heaters: Ideal for a more traditional, rustic sauna experience. They require firewood and regular maintenance but deliver an authentic Finnish sauna ambiance.

At Northern Leisure, we offer both options and even provide professional installation for the heater of your choice. 2. Sauna Timber: Why Canadian Western Red Cedar Stands Out

The type of wood used in your sauna significantly impacts its durability, aroma, and heat retention. Northern Leisure saunas are expertly handcrafted using premium kiln-dried Canadian Western Red Cedar, known for its:

  • Natural resistance to decay and moisture.

  • The rich aroma enhances relaxation.

  • Stunning aesthetics that blend beautifully with outdoor settings.

This high-quality timber ensures your sauna is built to last, even in Canada’s harsh climate. 3. Why Choose an Outdoor Sauna? Outdoor saunas offer a refreshing way to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the benefits of deep relaxation and wellness. Unlike indoor options, outdoor saunas transform your backyard, cottage, or vacation property into a serene escape.

At Northern Leisure, we specialize in outdoor saunas, including the Modern Panoramic Sauna and the ever-popular Barrel Sauna. Our saunas are thoughtfully designed for outdoor use, featuring:

  • Tinted tempered glass windows that offer stunning views.

  • A waterproof zinc-coated steel roof to withstand Canada’s toughest weather.

Whether perched beside a lake or nestled in your garden, our outdoor saunas are built to blend beautifully with nature and provide a luxurious, tranquil retreat year-round. 4. Essential Features and Accessories

When investing in a sauna, look for features that enhance your experience. Our all-inclusive Outdoor Saunas come with:

  • Ergonomic benches made from clear red cedar.

  • Stainless steel air vent kits for proper ventilation.

  • Black aluminum sauna accessories like a water bucket, ladle, and thermometer.

  • Comfort extras such as headrests and a fragrance diffuser for an elevated sauna experience.


5. Delivery and Setup Services

Sauna installation can be complex, but at Northern Leisure, we take care of everything:

  • Delivery to your home and transfer to a level base.

  • Complete assembly and installation, including heaters and accessories.

  • Comprehensive cleanup and operation instructions, so you can enjoy your sauna hassle-free.

6. Customization Options

Personalize your sauna with options like a Wi-Fi-enabled heater for remote control or a stylish wood grain colour steel roof to match your outdoor aesthetic. Why Choose a Northern Leisure Sauna?
