The Pre-Cut Sauna Kit include all what you need for the interior of your sauna, and it is designed to fit into the rough opening (length x width x height, stud to stud) according to your specific needs and budget. With these kit, essentially any room in the house can be converted to a home sauna at an affordable price. All you have to do is follow our installation instructions or contact our team of experts to guide you through the process. 

Portable Sauna

Portable Saunas are free-standing units that requires no framing, they are also known as "Modular Saunas."  They are available in both indoor and outdoor designs. The kit includes modular panels that are pieced together.  The outdoor Modular Saunas include an outdoor roof assembly while our Modular Indoor Saunas include a roof assembly that is not intended for outdoor/weather exposure. Having a portable sauna gives you the freedom to move the unit to a different area within any given space, whether indoors or outdoors.
