SAUNA DESIGN

The Scandinavian barrel sauna is held in place by sturdy stainless steel bands so they won't rust. This system allows the lumber staves to expand and contract to form a tight seal, and the unit sits on polymer support cradles that loft the sauna’s undercarriage off the ground so the barrel does not touch the ground at all.

The sauna | WINNIPEG barrel sauna design is noted for its efficiency, even distribution of heat, and visual appeal. Your friends and family are going to love it.

MATERIALS

Our saunas are beautiful Canadian Clear Red Cedar without any knots. You may see knotty barrel saunas elsewhere. They are lower quality because the knots heat up more due to their density and scald your skin, also over time the knots dry up and pop out of the boards. 

We have rust proof door hinges, fasteners and bands, they are all made out of stainless steel. The sauna comes with a tempered and tinted full glass door with self-closing hinges. The glass door lets the natural light flow into the barrel.

PERFORMANCE

The 6' barrels heats really quickly, to as much as 195 F (90 Celsius) in under an hour. The warmth surrounds you in this amazing barrel.

sauna | WINNIPEG barrel saunas can be paired with a Harvia wood-fired stove or with an electric stainless HUUM wifi enable electric heater. (sold separately - see sauna stove section).
