Luxury Saunas: Exceptional Tradition with Cutting Edge Features

Capitalizing on the quiet relaxation and health benefits of any sauna can be a luxurious experience. However, what to look for luxury saunas is regularly changing. Luxury saunas integrate cutting edge technology, superior exteriors, thermal insulation, and the highest quality interior materials crafted with skill and precision. 

Luxury Sauna Features

1. Technology & Ambiance

Integrating the latest technology into a well crafted sauna can elevate the experience to a haven that can suit the most discerning users.

• Bluetooth speakers for soothing, meditative, or natural sounds
• Mood setting interior LED dimmable bar lighting behind backrests and under benches for just the right amount of ambient light
• Wi-Fi app or remote-controlled functions for minimal disruption to the experience

2. Exterior Cladding, Insulation, and Thermal performance

Whether the luxury sauna is an interior or exterior product, cladding performance must fit the aesthetics of the environment as well as be durable and high performing.  Full glazing is an option to take advantage of views or allow natural light. Well insulated walls heat faster, retain the right comfort level, and block out unwanted noise.  Some available features include:

• Thermo-Pine exterior cladding
• Full double-glazed, clear tempered glass front wall for stunning sauna bathing views 
• 8” wall thickness for enhanced insulation and acoustical properties   
• Exterior, front wall light sconces for outside ambiance
• Outdoor sauna control and electrical boxes for watertight equipment installation (IP67 rating) 
• Fully glazed doors

3. Interior Comfort

While comfort is personal and subjective, the ability to precisely control the interior environment and lounge on premium surfaces is a must.   Everything the body touches should promote a sense of solid refinement. The best saunas include:

• Fine heating controls
• Humidity Control
• Premium, furniture-grade wood interior 
• Solid sauna doors and premium door pulls
• Aromatherapy

What to look for in luxury saunas is approachable for anyone.  Whether it is a complete sauna system ready to install like the SaunaLife G7 6-Person Garden-Series Fully Assembled Backyard Home Sauna, or an upgrade to your existing sauna’s heaters or accessories, and exceptional and relaxing experience is with reach.
