The Smart Science Behind Barrel Saunas
The rounded shape isn't just for looks—it actually makes your sauna sessions more comfortable. Hot air flows naturally around those curved walls instead of getting trapped in corners like square saunas. You'll feel even warmth from floor to ceiling, and your space heats up quicker too.
These kits use premium woods that handle weather beautifully:
- Canadian red cedar and Pacific cedar for natural moisture resistance
- Thermo-spruce construction with rich grain patterns
- Tongue-and-groove joints that lock together perfectly
- Tempered glass doors and windows built to last
