We developed the Heritage™ Sauna collection to represent a higher standard of modular wellness, blending modern Nordic silhouettes with precision German and Northern European engineering. Unlike traditional "stick-built" cabins, our Heritage line utilizes system-matched "sandwich" panels and solid-log interlocking designs to ensure maximum thermal fortification. From the luminous Aspen interiors of our Serena models to the chocolate-toned Thermo-Aspen of the Dolomiti, we prioritize material purity and architectural elegance for the discerning US homeowner.
- Precision Element Construction: We utilize layered "sandwich" wall elements and 2.87" solid spruce element kits to ensure rapid, clean installation with superior heat retention compared to standard lumber builds.
- Aesthetic Innovation: Our designs range from the "Soft Cube" vertical silhouette to the elegant "Piano-style" rhythmic benching, ensuring your sauna is a centerpiece of modern design.
- Thermal Fortification: We prioritize fully insulated roof sections and thick wall staves (up to 1.65") to minimize energy loss and maintain stable high-heat profiles.
- Natural Material Purity: We select special-dried Pine, Nordic Spruce, and resin-free Linden to ensure a clean, aromatic experience without the risk of hot sap or chemical off-gassing.
- Customizable Social Spaces: From compact 1-person indoor cabins to expansive 6-person outdoor retreats with integrated pre-rooms, we provide layouts that scale to your social wellness needs.
- Resilient Hardware: We utilize stainless steel tension bands, supports, and fasteners as standard to ensure structural integrity under the repeated stress of high-heat cycles.
Most Common Questions About Heritage™ Saunas
Choosing a Heritage™ sauna involves understanding our specific construction methods—from element kits to roofing requirements. The FAQs below address the technical realities of planning and maintaining your Heritage installation.
What is the difference between Heritage "Element" and "Solid Log" construction?
We offer two primary build styles. "Element" construction uses pre-fabricated "sandwich" panels (like in our Pelmo or Adone models) for incredibly fast, clean indoor assembly. "Solid Log" construction (like the Serena) uses interlocking Nordic spruce logs that provide the traditional mass and aesthetic of a classic Finnish sauna while maintaining excellent natural insulation.
Do Heritage™ outdoor saunas include roofing material?
No. Because our outdoor cabins (like the Serena and Adone) feature flat or low-pitch roofs, we require that you purchase and apply roofing materials—such as EPDM or bitumen—separately after assembly. This ensures the roof is perfectly sealed against your specific local US weather conditions and allows you to match the finish to your home’s architecture.
What makes Heritage™ Linden and Aspen benches superior?
We select Linden and Aspen for their low-resin content and low thermal conductivity. These woods stay "cool to the touch" even when the air temperature exceeds 180°F. In our Lux series, we also offer "Piano-style" rhythmic benching, which provides an elegant, modern visual while maintaining the ergonomic support needed for long sessions.
Can I mirror the layout of my Heritage™ indoor sauna?
Yes, for many of our indoor models like the Pelmo. We designed the modular system to allow for "mirrored assembly," meaning you can often choose which side the heater and door are positioned on during the build to best fit your room's electrical and ventilation layout.
Why do Heritage™ saunas feature extra interior height?
Many of our models, such as the Lux Luce, are designed with extra height (up to 82.7" or 85"). We do this to allow users to stand upright and stretch comfortably—a feature often missing in compact saunas. This vertical volume also helps the "Löyly" (steam) to rise and circulate more effectively above the bather’s head.
Is the "Saunasupi Black" paint pre-applied to the interior?
No. Models like the Lux Luce include a quart of specialized Saunasupi paint, but we leave the application to you. This allows you to choose exactly where you want the dark, moody accent—or if you prefer to keep the wood in its natural, bright state—while ensuring the paint is fresh and applied in a climate-controlled environment (your home).
What foundation is required for a Heritage™ outdoor element kit?
Because our outdoor units like the Adone use a prefabricated element floor, you must provide a level, solid foundation. We recommend a concrete pad or a reinforced deck. Crucially, the base must allow for drainage so that water does not pool under the base beams, which are included in your kit to elevate the structure.
Does the Heritage™ glass front compromise heat retention?
No. We utilize thick, 10mm (approx. 5/16") tempered safety glass. While glass has a lower R-value than wood, our high-output 9kW heater recommendations and fully insulated roof sections compensate for this, providing a stunning panoramic view without sacrificing the intense heat of a traditional Finnish session.
