-
Why We Use Cedar Internally for All Our Saunas?
We exclusively use Cedar internally for all our saunas, steering clear of cheaper alternatives. This choice is rooted in our commitment to quality, the aromatic properties of the wood, and the overall experience it provides. Cedar is renowned for its durability and natural resistance to moisture and decay , ensuring your sauna remains a lasting sanctuary of wellness. The wood's distinct, pleasant aroma enhances the sauna experience, promoting relaxation and a sense of connection with nature.
-
Why choose steam saunas over infrared saunas?
Choosing between steam and infrared saunas hinges on your wellness objectives. Steam saunas, with their moist heat, are great for respiratory health and detoxification, offering a traditional, immersive experience. In contrast, infrared saunas provide a gentler heat that directly warms the body, ideal for those seeking deep tissue relaxation in a more breathable environment. At Steam Lodge, we guide you through the benefits of each to ensure your choice enhances your wellness journey.
-
Do you offer outdoor sauna solutions?
Absolutely. Our saunas are built for outdoor settings, using weather-resistant, locally sourced materials like recycled jarrah cladding for a natural, durable finish.
-
What are the health benefits of using a traditional sauna?
Traditional saunas promote muscle recovery, improved circulation, stress relief, detoxification, and overall wellness, making them an essential part of an active and balanced lifestyle.
-
How much space do I need for a sauna?
Our saunas are custom-built to fit your space. Whether you need a compact unit for a small backyard or a large sauna for commercial use, we design to suit your needs.
-
What power requirements does a sauna need?
Steam Lodge saunas require a hardwired electrical connection. The power specifications depend on the size of the unit and the heating elements used. We can provide all necessary details to your electrician for easy setup.
