It is a 64″ × 48″ × 78″ prefabricated room with a Harvia 6kW stove and a Canadian Red Cedar interior, sized for two occupants, with a 60.5-inch bench that can seat a third. Traditional stove mode reaches 170–185°F.
Harvia 6kW Stove
The Hanko uses a Harvia 6KW traditional sauna stove with built-in controls, using stones and water to produce steam. The 6kW output is matched to this room volume, reaching temperature efficiently. The 170–185°F operating range is higher than infrared cabins, which run 118–140°F.

Golden Designs Hanko — Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from an infrared sauna?
Heat source and temperature. The Harvia stove heats air and stones to 170–185°F, producing enveloping heat and steam; infrared cabins run 118–140°F and heat the body directly.
Where is it typically installed?
Finished basements and large bathrooms are most common. It requires a 64″ × 48″ footprint, 78+ inches of ceiling, and the electrical runs.
Is 2-3 person capacity realistic?
Two adults are seated comfortably; three fit on the 60.5-inch bench.
Is the warranty included?
Yes. Norse Steam is an authorized Golden Designs dealer; the full manufacturer warranty applies.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely Exceptional Sauna & Purchasing Experience
We are beyond thrilled with our Golden Designs Hanko Edition 2–3 Person Sauna. The design is *stunning*—modern, elegant, and truly elevates the space. The features make it feel like a luxury spa at home: the built-in Bluetooth speakers, red light therapy, and color-changing lights are all incredible touches that enhance the entire experience.
Assembly was surprisingly easy, and one of the biggest selling points is that it truly comes with **everything**—heater, rocks, all components included. No hidden extras, no scrambling to buy add-ons. It’s clear this sauna was thoughtfully designed from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint.
Just as important as the product itself was the outstanding purchasing experience through Norse Steam, specifically working with Maya. From the very beginning, Maya answered every question promptly and thoroughly, and I genuinely felt like I was given a luxe, white-glove, 5-star experience throughout the entire process—from initial questions all the way through ordering.
When the delivery driver accidentally damaged the front glass panel with a forklift, Maya immediately stepped in and handled everything seamlessly. She arranged for the replacement part to be re-delivered right away, completely hassle-free, and even continued to check in to make sure the delivery arrived and everything went smoothly. Her care, responsiveness, and follow-through were exceptional.
Maya was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend her—or Norse Steam—highly enough. If you’re considering purchasing a sauna, do yourself a favor and go through Norse Steam. This was hands-down one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had.

Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Deep Detoxification and Safe Heating
Far-infrared (FIR) is the longest infrared wavelength on the light spectrum, with a range of 3000 nm to 0.1 mm. This wavelength penetrates deeply beneath the skin, warming the body from the inside out. As a powerful detoxifying agent, FIR encourages fat-based sweating, where many toxins are stored, making it especially effective for cleansing at a cellular level.
Optimal Temperature Range
These saunas are designed to operate within an ideal temperature range of 118°F to 132°F, with the capability to reach up to 140°F for users seeking higher heat.
Low EMF Standards
Our Low EMF Infrared Saunas maintain EMF levels between 6-10 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from the heating panels, offering a safe environment for regular infrared therapy sessions.
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas: Comprehensive Health Benefits
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas combine NEAR, MID, and FAR infrared wavelengths to target multiple health benefits.
- FAR Infrared: Deeply penetrates fat tissue, activating sweat glands to release toxins.
- MID Infrared: Reaches muscles and joints, boosting circulation and reducing pain.
- NEAR Infrared: Targets the skin’s surface, promoting cell health, skin renewal, and reducing inflammation.
