Popular exterior sauna questions answered!
  • What Size Sauna Heater Do I Need?

    The size of your sauna heater depends on the size of your sauna room.

    At The Sauna Company, every residential sauna kit comes with a SAWO heater carefully matched to your sauna’s dimensions for safe, efficient heating.


    • Sunset Kit (1–2 person) – SAWO Mini X 3kW sauna heater
    • Temptation Kit (3–4 person) – SAWO Scandia 4.5kW sauna heater
    • Paradise Kit (up to 5 person) – SAWO Scandia 6kW sauna heater

    If you’re building a custom sauna kit or fitting out a unique space, our sauna experts can help you choose the perfect heater, whether electric or wood-fired sauna heater.

  • What Is the Best Home Sauna?

    The best home sauna is the one that fits your space, your lifestyle, and your wellness goals.


    Many of our customers love traditional Finnish saunas for their high heat and steam benefits.


    At The Sauna Company, we recommend home sauna kits made with premium Canadian Western Red Cedar, paired with SAWO heaters for ultimate relaxation, long-lasting quality, and energy efficiency.

  • How Do I Build a Sauna at Home?

    It’s easier than you might think with our prefabricated DIY sauna kits.


    • Our home sauna kits come with pre-cut panels, all the required hardware, and easy-to-follow instructions.
    • You can install the sauna yourself over a weekend, or we can arrange professional installation for you.
    • The sauna heater and lighting must be connected by a qualified electrician to meet Australian safety standards.

    You’ll receive full support from The Sauna Company at every stage of your sauna project.

  • What Type of Cedar Is Best for a Sauna?

    We use Canadian Western Red Cedar across our sauna kits because it’s one of the best sauna materials available.

    Here’s why:


    • It holds heat beautifully at both high temperatures and lower temperatures.
    • The wood’s natural oils protect against moisture and insects, making it ideal for long-term sauna use.
    • It resists warping and cracking under intense heat and high humidity.
    • It releases a pleasant aroma that enhances every sauna session.

    Western Red Cedar is also visually stunning, with its light colour and straight grain, making it a standout for both indoor and outdoor saunas.ot at all. Our saunas are designed for easy maintenance and everyday use. We use moisture-resistant construction methods, smart drainage, and commercial-grade ventilation to prevent mould, rot or excess humidity. Bench seating and flooring are sealed and easy to wipe down. We’ll walk you through the best cleaning routine, and we’re always here if you have questions.

  • Do You Offer a Warranty On Your Saunas?

    Yes, our kit saunas come with a 12-month warranty covering any fault or defect attributable to our sauna works. Warranty is subject to manufacturer guidelines. It does not cover heater element replacement, items considered to be normal wear and tear, or damage and this is voided in the case of misuse.

  • What Do I Need for Outdoor Sauna Installation?

    Outdoor sauna installations are very popular, but there are a few key things to keep in mind:


    • The sauna must sit on a solid, level base such as a slab, decking, or paving.
    • If exposed to the weather, the sauna roof must be fully waterproof. We recommend a Colorbond skillion roof, which we can arrange, or you can work with a local builder.
    • The external cedar must be treated with a suitable protective oil or similar product on installation and re-applied annually to protect it from the elements.

    We can provide advice, roofing options, and support throughout the whole process.

  • What Are the Electrical Requirements for Residential Sauna Kits?

    All our residential sauna kits include a SAWO stainless steel electric sauna heater that must be wired to its own dedicated circuit by a licensed electrician.


    • Power loads range from 3kW to 6kW depending on your chosen sauna kit.
    • Heaters can be connected to either single-phase or three-phase power.
    • Each heater has built-in temperature and timer controls located on the outer cover.
    • The internal sauna light also needs to be connected to a switched light feed.

    All cabling is installed through pre-fitted conduits inside the insulated sauna panels, making electrical setup clean and straightforward for your installer.
