Can I install a bespoke sauna anywhere?

The good news is that yes, you can install a sauna pretty much anywhere. There are a few things you need to consider such as a clean waterproof area and electrical point for the lighting and sauna heater. You may also want to consider putting it close to your bathroom as it’s good practice to take a shower after your sauna session.

How do I go about cleaning my sauna interior?

Firstly the floor should be mopped with mild soap and rinsed. Then clean the benches, again with mild soap and a wet cloth. At least once a year lightly sand the interior to remove stains. Use towels for seating areas and apply sauna wood oil to keep the wood looking fresh.

What types of sauna panelling are available?

There are many choices available for sauna wood panelling with different scents, colours and textures. The most popular wood choices are aspen or spruce which are seen as traditional sauna woods. They are also the better value choices. More expensive wood panels for sauna include Red Cedar, Fir, Alder, American Tulipwood and Hemlock.

Is it expensive to operate a bespoke home sauna?

General everyday running costs of your home sauna are fairly low. Once the sauna is built you will only need to worry about heating costs and accessories such as cleaning, therapy oils and alike. Heating costs vary but can be as little as £1 per session.

Bespoke saunas

Expertly crafted bespoke saunas for home or commercial uses, traditionally built, and installed to your design specifications

Sometimes, a pre-fabricated sauna kit just doesn’t cut it and only a bespoke sauna will do. Your architect may have just designed a modern wellness spa for your new home or commercial premises and the piece missing is the sauna room. Whether it’s contemporary, traditional, wet, dry, infrared or a steam sauna combi, our UK design team can create a bespoke sauna room that is a picture of perfection.

With over 36 years of experience, Leisurequip have designed, built and installed all manner of bespoke wellness equipment. We work with high profile clients and businesses not just in the UK but all over the world. We have custom fitted hand-built bespoke saunas in luxury super-yachts, home basement spas and commercial premises such as hotels, wellness spas, gyms, fitness centres and more.

Expertly crafted bespoke home saunas

There are some key differences between custom built, hand-made home saunas and their commercial counterpart. For example, domestic or home saunas may need to be child safe or be required to fit into a bathroom or similar small space.

Also, bespoke home saunas will generally have accessible sauna heater controls. These can be situated on the heater or as a control panel outside the sauna. Additionally, you may require a heater cover or a specific type of sauna heater with Thermosafe coating such as the Tylo Compact or Tylo Sense Pure.

Getting a bespoke commercial sauna

Having a commercial sauna bespoke built is generally a slightly different process than for domestic use. Firstly, with all commercial designs safety is a key factor, followed by accessibility, durability and size. For example, it will be important to restrict access to controls or to protect customers from accidental burning.

Leisurequip has over 36 years of experience designing and installing saunas for UK and global commercial clients such as hotels, wellness spas, gyms & fitness centres. As a result, we have more than enough experience and expertise to ensure every aspect of your bespoke commercial sauna is fully considered before it’s built.

Go frameless with a custom glass front

As well as wood, you may want to consider the front of the sauna design for both aesthetics and functionality. Sometimes you just want the sauna to be simple, contemporary and light. Choosing frameless glass that is custom cut for the door, front or corner will also allow you to flood the sauna room with natural light.

Choose from a range of glass types such as clear, bronzed, smoked or frosted. We have decades of experience working closely with expert suppliers of frameless glass. Leisurequip can also supply a range of pre-designed frameless glass sauna doors and panels from TyloHelo which we can work into the final design.

We will provide you with a range of wood samples which you can use to check for texture, aroma, colour and grain.

Installing your hand-built sauna room

When installing your hand-built sauna we will need space to cut and assemble some parts on site. The site will need to be dry and nearing completion before we start the sauna installation. You can expect wood cutting and the accompanying dust.

Leisurequip can also provide a method statement, health and safety certificates and risk assessments should they be required. Generally, most of this is figured out before we reach your home. You can expect a properly coordinated and efficient installation.
