Custom saunas

A sauna made for your space

We design each custom sauna with you, starting from where it will stand and how you'll use it. Our partner factory in Estonia then builds it to that design. Tell us about a space a standard model won't fit, or a sauna you can't find ready-made.

What to expect from a custom sauna

Designed with you

We start from your measurements, how many people will use it and the feel you want, and shape the design with you on drawings.

Built in Estonia

Our partner factory in Estonia, where sauna is part of everyday life, builds your sauna to the agreed design.

Quoted for your plan

There is no price list. We quote each sauna once its size and specification are clear.

Your space first

It starts with where it will stand

A room at home or in the basement, a garden or a terrace, a hotel room or a spa floor. A custom sauna is designed from the conditions on site: the dimensions, the ceiling height, the way in for delivery and the power supply. Rather than fitting your space to a standard size, we fit the sauna to your space.

  • Indoor and outdoor sites can both be considered
  • From a small room at home to a commercial project
  • Drawings or photos of the site make the first conversation easier

Specification

What we decide together

How far you take the details is up to you. Where you're unsure, we'll suggest options based on how you plan to use the sauna.

Size and layout

How many people it seats, the number and direction of the bench tiers, and where the door goes.

Wood and finish

The timber and tone inside and out, chosen to suit the site and the atmosphere you want.

Heater

Electric or wood-fired. We suggest a heater from the HUUM range we supply that suits the room's volume.

Windows, doors and glass

Where the openings go and how large they are, from a window onto the view to a glass door.

Lighting and benches

Light where you want it, such as soft strips under the benches or behind the backrest.

Interior walls

Add pattern and texture to the walls with DecNord sauna wall panels.

How it works

From first enquiry to finished sauna

Timing and cost vary a great deal from one project to the next, so we confirm each stage with you before moving on.

    Design and proposal

    We propose a layout and specification based on your site and needs, then refine it with you on drawings until it's right.

    Once the specification is settled, we quote for that exact plan and explain how the build and installation will run.

  4. 04

Made in Estonia

Built where sauna is a way of life

Our custom saunas are built at our partner factory in Estonia. There, a sauna isn't a luxury fitting; it's part of everyday life with family and friends.

Saunature works in Estonia, Japan and Spain, and our team has trained in Estonia and visited factories there. We bring that experience to each project and work closely with our partner factory to build your design.

For the interior of a custom sauna you can also choose DecNord sauna wall panels, handmade in Estonia. Try patterns and lighting in our 3D wall designer first.

Where it fits

For homes and for businesses

Homes

A sauna in the garden or on the terrace, or a room fitted into the house, made to suit the home it will be used in every day.

Hotels and holiday rentals

In guest rooms or on terraces at hotels, ryokan and rental villas, designed to match the building.

Spas and facilities

For spas, gyms and bathing facilities used by many people, planned around capacity and how guests move through the space.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people most often ask us about custom saunas

Ask us something else
01How much does a custom sauna cost?
Custom saunas have no fixed price. Size, timber, heater and site all change the cost considerably, so we quote each project individually once the specification is settled. Start by sending us your requirements through the enquiry form.
02Where are the saunas built?
At our partner factory in Estonia, to the design agreed with you.
03How long does it take?
It depends on the design, the factory's schedule and where the sauna is going. We'll give you an expected timeline with your quote. If you have a date in mind, mention it in your first enquiry.
04Can a custom sauna go outdoors?
Indoor and outdoor sites can both be considered. For an outdoor sauna we'll also discuss the foundation, weather protection and access for delivery.
05What should I prepare before I enquire?
Photos of the site, rough measurements, how many people will use it, the power supply available and your preferred timing all help. It's fine if some of this isn't decided yet.
06Can I choose the heater?
Yes, electric or wood-fired. We'll suggest a HUUM heater from our range that suits the room's size and how you'll use it.
07Can I see a sauna in person?
Our showroom in Karuizawa, Japan, displays sauna cabins and HUUM heaters, and sauna sessions are available by reservation. It's a useful reference for materials and scale when you plan a custom build.
