Traditional, Infrared, or a Bit of Both?
Pick the Shape That Suits Your Space
Barrel Designs create efficient heat circulation through their curved walls, making them a favorite for traditional steam sessions. The classic rounded shape looks great in any yard setting while maintaining consistent temperatures.
Cabin Models give you more interior room and standing space, making them comfortable for families or taller users. These rectangular designs blend well with existing outdoor structures and offer spacious bench seating.
Cube Systems feature modular panels that connect quickly, making setup straightforward for smaller patios or those who want easy assembly. Despite their compact footprint, these units deliver a full sauna experience.
