Understanding Our Controller Options
Touch Screen Options
Why is a Cellular (LTE) The Best Option for Saunas?
Cellular (Nootka's Controller)
The Nootka Saunas Smart Controller uses the LTE network, similar to your cell phone. This makes setup a breeze and as long as you have cellular service where your sauna is, then you'll have reliable, hassle free connection between the smart controller and the app.
It's plug and play. No need for our customers to deal with service providers. We handle the carrier contract and the first 5 years of service are included when you purchase the LTE chip. After that, it's a minimal $50/year service fee.
Wi-Fi (Competitors' Controllers)
Wi-Fi is great for many indoor connected products but is not reliable for outdoor devices due to wall construction and physical barriers. As such, Wi-Fi sauna controllers are great for in-home saunas but are not reliable for outdoor saunas.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth range is usually a matter of feet, so it's good for things like headphones and computer accessories. It doesn't work well when you want to control a system beyond 100m away.
Why is a Nootka Sauna Unlike any other?
Built for Harsh Winters
Being a Canadian company, we’re used to frigid temperatures, several cm’s of rain and over 10 meters of snowfall every year.
Our saunas are specifically designed for these climates. We have customers in Northern BC, Yukon, Alberta and all across Canada that will attest to that.
Hand-crafted in Canada
All of our saunas are designed and manufactured in Canada. This gives us control over the cedar we select and allows us to continually improve our products.
Watch out for companies that might claim to be local but import sauna kits from overseas. Imported kits are fraught with quality issues from use of finger-jointed boards, poor design and cutting corners.
Some Things You Might Be Wondering...
Nootka Saunas offers a proprietary metal roof, made with 24-gauge galvanized aluminum. Far superior to any "tin roof" or "asphalt" roof, the material is rated to last for decades.
The metal roofing protects the sauna from rain, snow and UV. It also speeds up the heating time by about 20%.
Nootka Saunas works very hard to ensure that we can make the claim that we have the best barrel saunas on the market. It's a combination of the below tenants that ensure this is true...
- Carefully Selected Western Red Cedar
- Fully Engineered, sealed designs that can withstand harsh snow and Wind Loads. Available here
- Canadian-made heaters
- Local Manufacturing
- 10mm tempered glass
- 10-15 min heat up times for electric heaters (30-45 mins for wood-burning stoves)
- Easy Fulfillment Options
We don’t currently make infrared saunas. The jury is still out on the health benefits associated with infrared saunas and we’ve been disappointed by the build quality and lifespan of most infrared panels on the market.
In addition, you don't feel a blast of heat immediately with infrared saunas, so outdoor infrared saunas don't make much sense in cold climates as you'll freeze before noticing any of the benefits of the sauna.
As such, we only fabricate electric and wood-fired saunas.
We love hot saunas. As such, we've designed our saunas to get as hot as possible and they are comparable to traditional, square saunas.
In Canada, CSA governs the maximum temperature for electric sauna heaters to 90°C (194°F). Wood fired saunas can get slightly higher depending on the type of wood being burned and size of the fire.
