Unique Barrel Design

QUICK TO HEAT UP

In a barrel-shaped sauna, you’ll notice that there’s just as much useable space but with less overall area which means less space to heat. With this design, the barrel sauna will usually heat up faster than a box-shaped sauna.

EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION

In a barrel-shaped sauna, the rising heat gets circulated back down along the curved walls instead of accumulating near the top in a box-shaped sauna. This way it creates a constant flow of evenly distributed heat throughout the sauna.

WEATHER-RESISTANT DESIGN

While the rounded roof of a barrel sauna sheds rain and can also withstand a substantial snow load, placing the barrel on polymer cradles does wonders by protecting it from direct contact with the moist ground. These cradles have the added benefit of allowing the sauna to sit on virtually any flat surface. When working together, these elements help keeping the overall maintenance to a minimum.

INTERIOR COMFORT

With our list of red cedar accessories including head rests, back rests and leg rests, they can add to your overall comfort by complementing whatever sitting position you find most satisfying during each sauna session.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

Because the wood is able to expand and contract within the bands and the walls are made from a single thick layer of staves, a barrel sauna has achieved beautiful structural soundness.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Due to less time to heat up and evenly distributed heat, less energies are used in a barrel-shaped sauna. By using thick lumber staves that keep the sauna exceptionally well insulated, we have achieved maximum energy efficiency.

NATURAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

The barrel saunas are constructed from a series of jointed staves fitting tightly together under stainless steel bands with a minimal amount of fasteners. This configuration allows the wood to expand in humid conditions and contract in dry ones.

RUSTIC APPEAL

Place it beside a pool, plant flowers around it or nest it under trees to create your own little oasis, imagine how much more it can add to your existing settings. A barrel sauna is not only a thoughtfully designed product but also an aesthetically appealing one for your backyard. No questions about it.
