Indoor Pre-Fab Saunas

Prefab vs. Material Kit

Prefab Saunas
(Also known as Pre-Built Saunas)

• These saunas are pre-fabricated (like the name suggests). 
• They can be assembled in 4-8 hours.
• With Pre-Fab saunas there is no additional framing or insulation. The walls are self-supporting.
• Everything is designed for quick assembly without specialized tools.
• All our outdoor saunas (as well as our indoor Cabin and Vision models) are pre-fab.

Sauna Kits
(Also commonly referred to as Sauna Material Packages, Sauna Liner Kits, Do-It-Yourself Sauna Kits)

• This refers to a built-in sauna.  The Sauna material kit is the inside "skin" of the sauna.
• You or your contractor build the frame walls, insulate and finish the exterior.
• We provide kits that consist of inside materials such as a door, cedar lining, molding, benches, a heater, a vapour barrier, and more.
• You will trim the boards and nail them to the walls & ceiling.
• You will assemble and install the benches, hang the door, etc.
• Kits are installed permanently into a home (or club) during renovation or new construction.
• The installed kit can blend in to home decor and can be customized in to any shape or size.
• Sauna kits are more popular than pre-fab saunas

Which is Best for You?

Prefab

• It's portable.  While we would not recommend moving it on a regular basis, it can be dismantled and re-assembled elsewhere.  If you are renting your home, this may be a better solution.
• If you can't build a sauna yourself and can't get someone to build one, then a prefab is a viable option.
• Perhaps you already have a finished basement and you do not want to deal with the mess of a full construction project.
• Sometimes renovators do not want to "do" a sauna for whatever reason.  In such cases we often see a pre-fab sauna and then the renovator drywalls around it so it appears built in.
• If you are looking for outdoor, there is a larger selection of styles and sizes of stand-alone saunas to choose from.

Material Kit

• Material kits are available much faster than pre-fab saunas; generally, 2-3 weeks.
• If you are doing renovations, a material kit allows the sauna to be incorporated as part of the house finishes.  It is not a stand-alone structure set off from the rest of the home. 
• There are some limitations with a pre-fab structure in terms of size and shape.  With a built-in sauna kit, you can build virtually any size or shape sauna.
• For outdoor, you can build or purchase your own outdoors shed or cabana and install a material kit inside.
