Home Saunas Come As Easy-To-Assemble Kits
Home Saunas can be bought
fully assembled or as kits. Family sauna kits are available for indoor and
outdoor saunas. Depending on the heat source used, families considering adding a
sauna to a spare room in their house have a choice of wet or dry saunas, wood
fired or electrically heated units, Finnish, infrared and even
portable saunas. The choices are
confusing and so are the descriptions of the different kits available.
Pre-Cut Material Packages
There are basically two different kinds of kits available to build your family
sauna. Precut kits (also called material packages) and pre-built sauna rooms
(also called modular saunas). A material package comes with everything needed
for installation. However, the home renovator needs to prepare the area for the
installation of the kit package with insulated walls, a ceiling and a dedicated
110V or 240V electrical outlet. A kit might include items such as tongue and
groove cedar boards for the interior walls, benches, the heater, door, a vent
and all the hardware necessary to complete the installation of your family’s
home sauna.
Pre-Built Modular Packages
Pre-Built sauna rooms or modular kits
do not require preparation of the area. These kits usually contain the complete
unit and only partial assembly will be required. An example of easy-to-assemble
family saunas are ThermaSol Modular saunas sold online through Homeclick.com.
These are freestanding, self-contained Finnish sauna rooms available for any size area in your home. The kit
contains numbered panels of tongue-and-groove red cedar boards, pre-assembled
benches, pre-hung door, lights, bucket and ladle, thermometer and all hardware
necessary to complete the installation. No framing is required for this
easy-to-build family sauna room.
Pre-Assembled Units
Pre-assembled saunas for families of 2 – 6 persons are available from Hammacher
Schlemmer. These moderately priced units have a small footprint and can be
installed in most homes in a spare room or outdoors without much fuss.
Installation can be completed within several hours by the average
do-it-yourselfer. Whether you want to go with a kit or choose this last option,
adding a steam sauna room to your home is a good investment in your family’s
health and well-being.
