Can a Prefab Sauna Be Upgraded Later?

Yes, certain elements of your prefab sauna can be upgraded later on. However, it is important to note that generally, you cannot make major changes to the structure of your sauna. What you can do is make upgrades to the sauna heater, controls, lighting, insulation and in some cases, the benches.

Features You Can Upgrade Later On

  • Sauna Heater: You do not need to stay committed to one sauna heater. After your prefab barrel sauna kit is installed, you can choose to upgrade to a more powerful heater for quicker heating times or even a heater with steam production capabilities. You just need to ensure that you consult an electrician before installing a more powerful heater.
  • Controls: If you do not already have high-end sauna controls for your sauna, you can add them after your sauna has been installed. Adding a digital touch screen with a remote controller or mobile controls can make sauna time more convenient. With systems like the Sauna Logic, you can easily set timers and preheat your sauna from your phone.
  • Lighting & Ambiance: Standard sauna pot lights are functional, but if you want to create more ambience in your sauna, you can definitely add wall sconces or LED strip lighting later on. LED lights are often colour-changing, which can be a cool way to make sauna sessions more fun and inviting.

While upgrading your sauna is definitely possible, it is always wise that you take your time to design your sauna exactly the way you want it to avoid the need for future work. Get started with SaunaFin today!
