The Golden Designs Sundsvall Edition (model GDI-7289-02, 2025 updated version) is a 2-person traditional indoor steam sauna. It uses a Harvia 6kW stove and is finished in Canadian Red Cedar inside and premium Pacific Clear Cedar outside — an all-cedar construction, where the Hanko and Forssa editions use a hemlock exterior.
All-Cedar Construction
The interior is Canadian Red Cedar, an aromatic wood suited to steam use. The exterior is Pacific Premium Clear Cedar under a clear stain, with tight, knot-free grain. Exterior dimensions are 60″ × 46″ × 83″; interior is 56″ × 38″ × 78″. At 83 inches, it is taller than the other traditional editions.
Harvia 6kW Stove
The stove is a Harvia 6KW traditional sauna unit with built-in controls, matched to the two-person volume and reaching the standard 170–185°F range. Stones and a ladle are used with water to produce steam; the included sandglass, bucket, and scoop are used for traditional sessions.
Lighting and Audio
The Sundsvall includes an interior ceiling galaxy star color therapy lighting system, a white reading lamp, and a lit accent backrest. An interior LED control panel with built-in FM station and Bluetooth connection plays through performance speakers.
Installation Requirements
The prefabricated panels ship in six boxes at 510 lbs shipping weight, delivered curbside on a pallet. Installation requires a solid, level floor, 83+ inches of ceiling clearance, and electrical runs of 240V / 30AMP for the stove plus 120V / 15AMP for controls, lighting, and audio, installed by a certified electrician. Assembled weight is 475 lbs.

Golden Designs Sundsvall — Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Pacific Cedar exterior add over hemlock?
A clear, knot-free cedar exterior finish, versus the hemlock exterior on the other editions. Function is the same; the difference is the exterior appearance.
Is a 2-person traditional sauna sufficient?
For couples and single-person use, yes. The 56-inch interior width seats two, and the smaller room reaches temperature faster on the same stove.
Can water be used on the stones indoors?
Yes. Moderate amounts of water are part of normal Harvia stove use. No floor drain is required.
Is the warranty included?
Yes. The full manufacturer warranty applies through Norse Steam, an authorized Golden Designs dealer.

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.
Near Zero EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe and Effective Heating
Golden Designs’ Near Zero EMF Saunas offer a natural, low-EMF thermal experience using PureTech Near Zero EMF Heating Technology. These saunas deliver FAR infrared heat with EMF levels kept under 2 milligauss (MG) at a close range of 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels.
- Temperature Range: Ideal between 118°F and 132°F, with a max of 140°F.
- Safety: Maintains near-zero EMF exposure, prioritizing a safe environment.
Ultra Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe, Deep Heating
Dynamic Ultra Low EMF Saunas deliver a natural thermal experience with minimal EMF exposure, using PureTech Ultra Low EMF Heating Technology and FAR infrared wavelengths.
- Temperature Range: Operates ideally between 118°F and 132°F, with a maximum of 140°F.
- EMF Safety: EMF levels kept under 3 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from heating panels.
These saunas provide effective, deep-reaching heat therapy in an ultra-low EMF environment, offering a safe option for consistent infrared use.
