Custom Sauna Consultations

COMPLETE YOUR CUSTOM SAUNA FOR PERSONALIZED RELAXATION

A custom sauna is the perfect option for those who know just how they like it. You can integrate it perfectly into your property by designing one to the exact size and specifications that you need. If you’re not a do-it-yourselfer, the experts at Nordic Energy can take care of it all for you.

THE BUILDING BLOCKS

Your custom made sauna, no matter how extravagant and lavish, will be made of the same basic building components as all others. These basic components will be:

1. reflective foil and cedar panelling
2. a cedar/ glass door that helps keep heat in
3. the heater itself. Either a wood, electric or infrared heater option is available
4. a heater guard
5. rocks
6. the benches and backrests for your lounging and seating pleasure
7. sauna lights which can withstand the high heat and humidity that exists in all saunas
8. vents and air intake points

Where all of those components go, the size of the space they fill and how it all looks is up to you. Speak to a qualified design consultant to realize your dreams.

SELECT YOUR WOOD MATERIALS

The best customized saunas in Canada are made from 3 main types of wood that are commonly found in our country. they are also a high quality construction material for custom made saunas:

1. Western red cedar – it possess a natural moisture repelling oil that allows it to resist decay and stay looking new longer
2. Hemlock – this wood is not only strong, but beautiful as well. It’s abundance also allows it to be a cost effective choice
3. Poplar – this quick growing wood has the benefit of being very soft despite its classification as a hardwood

Other wood that are less commonly found are Spruce (small tight knots) and African Whitewood (abachi, Obechi, Wawa).

No matter how good the wood you choose it will still need to be dried. Air drying is an option still taken by some manufacturers, and it can work to get some moisture out of the wood. To get the moisture content below 10%, where it becomes truly exceptional wood to build a sauna from, kiln drying is recommended. Be prepared to discuss the wood options with your design consultant when you’re in the initial consultation phase for your custom made sauna.
