4 person saunas

Increasingly popular in the UK, home saunas that can accommodate 4 people can provide an enjoyable wellness experience throughout the year. What’s more, they can be enjoyed by all the family including young children.

Common types of 4 person sauna rooms

Once you get beyond the smaller 3 person sauna you are able to do a lot more with the design and space. For example, with a 4 person sauna you have the space for a wood burning stove or can venture into the garden with a barrel sauna. Here are the common types of saunas suitable for four people.

• 4 person traditional saunas: Traditional saunas or Finnish saunas are the most popular choice for accommodating multiple people. This type of sauna typically uses and electric or wood-burning heater to heat sauna stones. Without ladling water you get a dry and intense experience. Pouring water over the stones delivers a humid, wet steam. A 4 person traditional sauna can be designed for home or commercial environments and be installed indoors or outdoors.
• 4 person infrared saunas: Infrared saunas are the second most popular choice. Using infrared heaters that emit infrared light, the body is heated directly instead of heating the air. They are often designed with multiple seating areas and can comfortably accommodate four people. Infrared saunas offer a milder, less intense heat when compared to traditional saunas.
• Outdoor 4 person barrel saunas: Barrel saunas have become a popular wellness addition to the garden. They are cylindrical in shape and have a unique design that allows for optimal heat circulation. Available in various sizes, there are plenty of models suitable for four-person use. Outdoor barrel saunas are often made of hem-fir or red cedar wood and can provide an aesthetically pleasing view in the garden.
• 4 person garden sauna cabins: Outdoor saunas come in many shapes and sizes. A garden sauna cabin can easily be designed to accommodate four people. These saunas can be built as stand-alone structures in your backyard or garden much the same as a shed. They can be traditional, infrared, or wood burning, depending on your preference.
• Custom-built 4 person saunas: Custom-built saunas offer the flexibility to create a sauna space tailored to your specific needs and dimensions. Working with sauna designers like Leisurequip or contractors, you can have your sauna custom-built to comfortably fit four people while incorporating all your desired features and materials.
