Built For Harsh Winters

Being a manufacturer in the Pacific Northwest, we’re used to frigid temperatures, several inches of rain and over 30 ft of snowfall every year. Our saunas, complete with our proprietary high performance metal roof, are specifically designed for these climates. We have customers in Northern Canada and in Alaska that will attest to that.

Delivery and Installation Options

Depending on where you’re located in America, we offer unassembled delivery and in a lot of cases we also offer delivery with on-site assembly. To see the best fulfillment option for your area, enter your postal code above.

The Fastest Heat-up Times

Our electric saunas heat up to 194°F (90°C) in just 10-15 minutes, even in the dead of Winter. Our wood-burning saunas are also remarkably fast to heat up, taking around 40 minutes to reach temperature. Compare this to many sauna designs taking an hour or more to heat up.

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.

Door Lock (Add-on)

With some of our customers installing their saunas at vacation properties, in more prominent areas or for AirBNB’s where they may want to restrict access we offer a dead-bolt option. This option is only available on our standard doors (ie: we can’t add a lock to our full-glass doors).

Backrests (Add-on)

We’re often asked, “how comfortable is seating in the barrel sauna?”

Since our saunas have a generous 6’5″ interior diameter (larger than most barrel saunas), the seating is very comfortable and the curve of the sauna is gentle. In addition, we also offer wall-mounted backrests that run front-to back.

Flat Flooring (Add-on)

Our cedar-slatted flat flooring raises the walking surface of the sauna by about 1.5″. This slatted surface allows keeps your feet dry and warm while pouring water on the heater’s rocks.

Full Glass Door (Add-on)

Our standard door is a cedar door that has a 10″ x 30″ window mounted in it. This is upgradable to a 10mm, clear tempered-glass door.

FAQS

What is the Lead Time of An Order?

We currently have a 3-4 week lead time on all orders. This is the time it takes us to fabricate the sauna at our facility. From there, the fulfillment method will have some determination on how fast the sauna arrives. For more info on lead times and US-wide shipping timelines, please contact us at [email protected]

Should I Select an Electric or Wood-burning Sauna?

Electric heaters have the advantage of warming up very quickly, being simple to operate and are a great option if you’re looking to use your sauna on a frequent basis. With the added benefit that you can pour water on our electric heaters, there’s no wonder over 90% of our customers opt for electric heaters. A wood fired sauna is fantastic for cottages, rural properties, where electrical is not feasible or if you’re looking for the ’traditional’ sauna experience. *Woodburning saunas require a 10ft horizontal radius around the chimney to other combustible surfaces (ie: structures and trees)

What Type of Surface Can The Barrel Sauna go on?

The great thing about barrel saunas is that they don’t require a concrete foundation. This means they can be installed on nearly any level surface (e.g.: crushed stone, river rock, gravel, wood decking, flagstones, or even grass. When installing on grass or organic surfaces, we recommend putting down pavers or flagstones under the corners of the sauna feet to prevent it from settling into the ground over time. Our saunas have 3 cradles, which are 4ft wide and are made of pressure treated wood.

What Size Sauna Should I Order?

Electric Heater Models For couples and families, we typically recommend a 6’5” interior room sauna, as this will comfortably fit 4-5 adults seated or 2 adults laying down. Our 7’8″ sauna room is great for 6-8 adults seated. Wood Fired Models Our 6’5” interior room sauna can fit 2-4 adults comfortably and the 7’8” sauna room can fit 4-6 adults. The smallest wood-fired sauna room we can build is 6’5”, as the wood stove takes up more space than the wall-mounted electric heater.

Why The Barrel Shape?

The cylindrical shape of a barrel sauna makes for a great convection flow where the air naturally recirculates and there are no corners for air to get ’trapped’. In addition, barrel saunas look great and are structurally sound, even in harsh climates.

Does Nootka Saunas Build Custom Saunas

At the moment we do not.

How hot can Barrel Saunas Get?

In America, ETL and ULc governs the maximum temperature for electric sauna heaters to 194°F (90°C). Wood fired saunas can also get to 90°C or even hotter depending on the type of wood being burned and size of the fire.

What is Required For the Electrical Connection?

All of our electric heaters are 240V. Most of our saunas use 7.5kW heaters, which require a 40A breaker (non-GFI) and 8-2 Teck cable run to the back wall of the sauna. This wiring and the final connection of the sauna to your panel must be done by a certified electrician. Our larger (greater than 8ft) saunas require a 9kW heater, which uses a 50A breaker and an 8-2 cable (based on your electricians recommendation). Usually electrical hookup, is easier that customers think. Teck cable costs around $13/meter and is usually be buried in an 18” trench (local bylaws may vary). To save money on setup costs, several of our customers dig their own trenches and then have their electricians lay the electrical cable into the trench. Customers are recommended to have an electrician do a preliminary inspection (often free) of their electrical panel to ensure they have capacity on their service panel for the sauna.

We couldnÕt have dreamed of buying a better sauna. Amazing quality and service throughout the buying experience, the customer service team also answered all our post-purchase questions relative to building it the structure ourselves. We are so happy and the smell of red cedar is probably the best thing we have ever smelled in our life!

These guys and their saunas are awesome! WeÕve been using our sauna 2-3x per week since we got it last year without any issues. The install service was quick; they even came out on Christmas Eve so we could have a Christmas sauna! CouldnÕt recommend this more highly.

This by far was the best sales experience of my life!! Nootka saunas are absolute professionals, and the product is amazing. 5 stars not enough for this team It all started on Facebook messenger. (Is this available?) They answered me promptly and were very informative. It took the better part of a year and half before we could complete the deal. They were patient with me, they never got frustrated with my calls or emails. I canÕt say enough good things about the customer service from the installer to billing and payment. I did shop around and there was a sauna dealer that was located closer to me. I was blown away with how well they treated me, and the price was very competitive to the marketplace. If you are looking for a sauna, look no further - these guys are the best at what they do!
