About this buildout.
The casing is dual wall steel, so the outside stays cooler to the touch while the room comes up quickly. Finishes run stainless steel or black, and the heating elements are built for years of steady use.
The stone bed sits directly on the elements and gives a direct, satisfying heat, with steam when water is ladled on. Versions with built-in controls carry a timer and thermostat at the base of the heater, so no separate panel is needed.
The series covers several sizes in both finishes, with and without built-in controls. We size the heater to the room during the consultation, then handle delivery, installation, and electrical coordination, and confirm the details with you.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”
Dennis DonovanFort Collins, CORead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”
Jessmine AndersonColoradoRead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
