Outdoor Saunas FAQs

• What are the benefits of an outdoor sauna?

• What types of outdoor saunas are available?

• What is the difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna?

  Traditional Saunas heat the air around you using a heater and sauna stones. They operate at higher temperatures (70-100°C) and can generate steam when water is added to the stones. Infrared Saunas use infrared heaters to warm your body directly rather than the air. They run at lower temperatures (40-60°C) and offer a milder, deep-penetrating heat experience.

• Can an outdoor sauna be used in winter?

  Yes! Outdoor saunas are designed for year-round use, including winter. The insulated structure and powerful heating system allow you to enjoy a cozy retreat even in freezing temperatures.

• Do I need planning permission for an outdoor sauna?

  Most outdoor saunas do not require planning permission, as they are considered temporary garden structures. However, if you live in a conservation area or listed property, check with your local authority.
