Get To Know Us

Sauna

SaunaFin Is a Trusted Brand That Has Been Manufacturing Saunas for Over 60 Years.

At SaunaFin, we continue to pride ourselves on the quality of our materials, our commitment to customer service and our ability to provide both at competitive prices. SaunaFin began as Finlanda Sauna in Toronto in 1962. In 1995, we launched our website (www.saunafin.com) and began selling throughout Canada and the United States. While some of our older repeat customers still know us as Finlandia, most now know us as SaunaFin, which we began using in 1996, to avoid confusion with another company using the Finlandia name.

What Sets Saunafin Apart
From Other Online Sauna Stores?

What countries do you ship to? / How do you ship?

We ship mainly to Canada and USA.

Sauna Heaters and Steam Generators are usually shipped by UPS or Purolator. Sauna Material Kits and Pre-Fab saunas are shipped via transport truck. (We mostly use UPS Freight and Old Dominion to USA, Western Canada and Maritime-Ontario for Canada). We do not use brokers or agencies. We prefer dealing with large shippers that have local depots and are less likely to pass off freight to third party carriers. (A little more costly, but more reliable-You can't put a price on "peace of mind").

Should I vent my sauna? / Is moisture a problem?

Yes, but not the way you think. This an area of common confusion for saunas.  People associate the need for ventilation with a bathroom and shower (or steam shower).  You ventilate a bathroom to remove excess moisture.  Saunas are by nature a dry environment-you are essentially baking the air.  Typical sauna humidity is around 10%' with momentary spikes when water is splashed on the rocks. Your average household humidity is around 40%.  The sauna is in fact much dryer than the rest of your home.

Sauna venting does not mean venting to the outdoors as you would for a shower. It  means cross ventilation. It refers to an inlet (low behind heater) and an outlet (generally high in opposite corner from heater). The purpose of sauna ventilation is to move the air from the heater to the seating area.  In general, you should not vent to the outdoors, but into the adjoining room so that the warmed air is re circulated.
(Remember that saunas are dry heat, there is no concern of humidity spreading all over the house.)

It is not always essential to have vents fin order for sauna to operate properly.  If your sauna installation will allow you access to install vents at a later time, you may try sauna without vents with a contingency to add at a later date if it is determined they are required.
If venting openings are not easily accessible (i.e. exterior wall), there are options redirect vents by ducting to open wall.

How long will sauna take to heat up?

Indoor: on average 20-30 minutes

Outdoor: depends on region and season. Cold climate, cold day - could be 40-60 minutes.

Do I need a sauna floor drain?

Commercial saunas should have a drain in the center of the floor (sloped to the drain) to facilitate cleaning.

Most residential saunas have drains, but it is not essential. Water should only be used in moderation. 
(If you are doing a complete renovation or new build and are putting new bathroom, shower, etc, we would recommend you also put a drain in the sauna.)
