Custom cedar saunas.
Built to be yours.

Handcrafted indoor, outdoor, barrel and one-off custom saunas — built around the room, the heat and the people using it.

Build Your Sauna
Handcrafted in the Home of Cedar

Built for the way a sauna should feel.

A good sauna is more than a hot room. The layout, bench height, heater, stone mass, ventilation, insulation and materials all work together. Those fundamentals come first; the cedar, glass and details are built around them.

Why Custom Cedar Saunas

Built locally. Designed properly. Finished by hand.

Built here

Each sauna is built one project at a time in Northern BC, not ordered as a flat-pack kit and assembled from a catalogue.

Designed around the heat

Bench height, heater placement, ventilation and room volume are considered before the finish work begins.

Real cedar

Every detail is handmade from personally selected local cedar — chosen for its grain, warmth, durability and aroma.

Made for the site

Indoor rooms, barrel builds, modern exteriors and one-off custom structures are shaped around the actual property and the way the sauna will be used.

Löyly

The breath of the sauna.

Löyly is the wave of heat and humidity that rises when water hits hot stones. Good löyly depends on more than temperature — the room needs the right bench height, airflow, heater position and stone mass so that warm, humid air reaches the bathers instead of collecting above them.

Built for Northern BC

Cold winters change the way a sauna should be built.

A sauna here has to deal with real winter. Insulation, vapour control, exterior weather protection, glazing, heater sizing and drying all matter more when the temperature drops. That is part of the reason the wall assembly behind the cedar gets as much attention as the cedar itself.

The experience

Built for the part you cannot measure.

Sunlight across a cedar sauna bench

Warm cedar, quiet air and good löyly. The technical details matter because they disappear when the room is working properly.

Frequently asked

Before you start a build.

Wood-fired or electric?

Both can make an excellent sauna. Wood-fired gives you the ritual and character of a fire; electric is simple, clean and easy to control. The room and location usually make the choice clearer.

Can you build inside an existing room?

Yes. Indoor saunas can be designed around an existing space, including custom bench layouts, glass, lighting and curved details.

Do you deliver?

Delivery depends on the size of the sauna, access to the site and distance. Northern BC is the home base, with other BC projects quoted individually.

Why cedar?

Cedar handles heat and humidity well, stays comfortable to the touch, smells good and gives every build a natural grain that gets better with detail work.

How long does a build take?

It depends on the style and how custom the project is. A simple barrel and a fully insulated custom building are very different jobs, so timing is confirmed with the quote.

Can I price one online first?

Yes. The Build Yours page gives a planning estimate and changes the options depending on the sauna style you choose.
