How To Prepare Your Indoor Sauna Space
Installing an indoor sauna is a fantastic way to create a personal wellness retreat inside your home. Whether integrating a freestanding sauna or building a custom sauna, proper preparation ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Step 1: Choose the Right Location Before installing your sauna, consider the following factors to select the best location: ✔️ Accessibility: Pick a space that is easy to reach and provides privacy, ideally near a bathroom or shower for post-sauna rinsing. ✔️ Structural Integrity: Ensure the floor can support the sauna’s weight, especially in multi-story homes. ✔️ Ventilation: Good ventilation is essential to allow for fresh air intake and moisture removal. ✔️ Available Space: Determine the size of your sauna based on your needs and available room space. Common indoor sauna locations include: Home gyms Master bathrooms Basements Spas or wellness areas Thinking about placing an indoor sauna outdoors? Indoor saunas are not designed to withstand outdoor elements like rain or snow. If you’re considering an outdoor installation, keep in mind: Covering is required: A covered patio or pergola is ideal. Glass retains less heat: Indoor saunas have more glass than outdoor models, so in colder climates, upgrading to a more powerful heater is recommended. No enclosed floor: Indoor saunas do not come with flooring. If placing it on a slatted deck, install a sealed platform underneath to prevent drafts. Step 2: Frame Insulate the Space If you are building a custom indoor sauna, proper framing and insulation are key to heat retention and moisture control. ✔️ Frame the area: Use wood framing to create the sauna enclosure. ✔️ Insulate walls and ceiling: Use high-quality insulation like fiberglass or rock wool to maintain heat efficiency. ✔️ Install a vapor barrier: A foil-faced vapor barrier should be installed to prevent moisture from seeping into surrounding walls. Freestanding saunas do not require framing but should still be placed in a well-ventilated, dry area. Step 3: Electrical Considerations for Your Heater If you choose an electric sauna heater, proper installation is crucial for safety and compliance. ✔️ Power source: Ensure your chosen location has access to the appropriate electrical supply. ✔️ Consult an electrician: All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician who understands local codes and regulations. ✔️ Cost considerations: Electrical installation costs vary based on: Distance from your sauna to your electrical panel Local electrician rates Cost of wiring and material ✔️ Get multiple quotes: We recommend contacting 2-3 electricians for estimates before starting installation. Step 4: Prepare the Floor Your indoor sauna can be placed on almost any solid surface—including concrete, tile, and laminate. However, avoid placing it directly on carpet or hardwood flooring, as moisture and heat can cause damage. ✔️ Use a waterproof surface: Tile, concrete, or other water-resistant materials are best. ✔️ Ensure proper drainage: A slight floor slope can direct water toward a drain in areas with higher moisture. ✔️ Install a sealed platform if necessary: If placing the sauna on a slatted deck, build a sealed platform underneath to eliminate drafts. Step 5: Plan for Final Details Before installation, consider these final touches: ✔️ Door Size Placement: Ensure the sauna door is positioned for easy access. ✔️ Benches Seating: Plan your seating arrangement based on your comfort and available space. ✔️ Lighting: Use low-wattage, sauna-safe lighting to enhance the atmosphere. Step 6: Shipping Delivery Information All Almost Heaven Saunas ship within the continental U.S. via freight service. Here’s what to expect: ✔️ Delivery Timeline: Most saunas ship within 2-4 weeks, depending on the model and inventory availability. ✔️ Freight Delivery: The sauna will arrive in multiple flat-packaged boxes on a large truck.

Why is My Barrel Door Not Closing? - How To
Barrel saunas are constructed from natural, untreated cedar, which expands and contracts with changing weather conditions. This movement is especially noticeable during the first year after assembly and can cause the sauna to settle unevenly. One common issue is the barrel leaning forward, which prevents the ends from staying perfectly upright in their original level position. This slight shift puts strain on the door frame, potentially causing the door to rub against the frame or not seal properly. How to Check If Your Barrel Needs Adjustment You can quickly test for an uneven barrel by: Placing a level vertically against the barrel ends. Checking if the bubble indicates that the barrel is leaning. If misalignment is detected, push the barrel back into position. Need a Visual Guide? Adjusting the barrel can sometimes be difficult to visualize, so we’ve created a helpful video to walk you through the process. Watch it here: Adjustment Video Additional Fix: Adjusting the Door Magnets If the barrel is level but the door is still not sealing properly, try: Loosening the door frame magnets slightly to improve the seal.

Moving Your Sauna
Where you go, your sauna follows: a guide to moving your home sauna. Whether you are moving to a new house or rearranging your current setup, the logistics behind shifting an 800-pound sauna from one place to another is intimidating. You may be tempted to list the sauna with the house and buy another unit or redecorate the sauna space to satisfy your need for change. Before you commit, we are here to tell you that you can move your sauna. Here’s how! Step 1) Locate your new sauna spot Perhaps when you originally built your barrel sauna, your neighbor Steve had big hedges separating your lawns, but recently he decided to make a change and took them all down. Suddenly, the vista rear window you chose to add some natural light is now a portrait right into your relaxing sauna session. It’s time to move! Think about what you want in a new spot (Privacy? Open space? Proximity to the shower?) and determine if it is right for you. Step 2) Follow our sauna site preparation guides for indoor and barrel saunas You may get a sense of déjà vu during this step, but it’s important to make sure your sauna’s new home is just as good as the old one, if not better! Whether you are moving the sauna to your bathroom renovation or your garage, make sure this new spot is up to par. Pro tip: If your indoor sauna is on hard ground and you just want to move it across the room, use some furniture sliders. Simply place them under the corners and wrangle a friend to help you push it to the new location. Voilà! Don’t forget to follow the electrical instructions in steps 3 and 7. Step 3) Disconnect the sauna from power Do not move your sauna until the heater is disconnected from power. You’ll need to call on your electrician twice for this whole moving process to go smoothly, so make sure you have them on speed dial. Your new bestie, the electrician, will disconnect the heater so that you can easily move all your pieces from one place to the other. We cannot stress this enough—make sure a licensed electrician does this step! Pro tip: If you are moving a barrel sauna a short distance, skip steps 4-6 by using a forklift to easily move the sauna without having to disassemble! Step 4) Get to work with disassembly Dust off (or download) your sauna manual, flip to the end and work your way backward. Good news! You don’t have to work all the way to step one. If you have an indoor sauna, you can leave certain pieces intact (such as frames and roofing panels). For barrel saunas, stop your disassembly when you get to the base of the sauna. You can easily move the base on its own. Pro tip: Start with the interior pieces for an easier process. This will leave you with the sauna shell. Find a good sorting system—piles, labels, whatever works so that you can keep your parts straight. Step 5) Make the move If you are moving the sauna to a more secluded part of your lawn (bye, Steve!), you (and some friends) can move the pieces to your new location. If you are moving homes, make sure the pieces are secured in the back of a moving vehicle. You don’t need to have saved the packaging from the sauna to do this—just make several trips if you can’t fit everything in at once. Pro tip: Take some time to do a little cleaning! The last time your sauna was this exposed, it was in a box and ready for you to build. Take advantage of the disassembled state—clean wall pieces, stain the staves, and do a general check up of your sauna. Who knows the next time you will be able to clean this thoroughly? Indoor sauna pieces in the back of a truck. Sauna staves, ready to be cleaned. Barrel sauna pieces in the back of a trailer. Step 6) Build again Don’t throw away that manual just yet! Take a stretch break, hydrate, and double down. It’s time to build the sauna again (if you want to reacquaint yourself with the process, our assembly videos can be found here!). At this point, you are likely closing in on “expert sauna-builder” status. However, if you get lost in the process, give us a call (888.355.3050). Our team is happy to walk you through or shed some light on what comes next. Step 7) Reinstate electrical Pull out your phone and give your electrician a call—it’s time for part two. Now that the sauna is built, in all it’s new-home glory, it’s time to get power back to that baby! Pro tip: Before you hang the heater again, take some time to remove the sauna stones from the heater cavity and give them a wash. Step 8) Enjoy a well-deserved sauna from your new location Turn that sauna on, kick back, and relax. You deserve it! After all, you just moved an entire 800+ pound sauna, and whether it was 5 feet or miles away, we applaud your accomplishment. Investing in your health is a life-long process, and making sure your sauna moves with you is important! Don’t let the dream of a new house (or a new sauna location) hold you back from enjoying your sauna. If you have moved your sauna, reach out and tell your story—we can’t wait to hear about the process!

How to Increase Your Sauna Temperature
Hot tips to take your sauna heater to the next level. Some like it hot, but others like it HOT. Sure, your sauna will have you sweating even on the lower end of the temperature range, but if you want to take it up a notch and get every possible degree of heat out of your sauna, we have some tips for you! All of these points are applicable to increase the temperature of traditional electric sauna heaters, though some can be applied to wood-burning heaters or infrared units.As a point of reference, regulations in the United States enable electric saunas to heat up to about 185°F. If your heater isn’t getting there on its own, these suggestions should do the trick. Now, onto those hot tips we promised that will help to add a few extra degrees to your sauna experience: Right to the source: Your heater Ensure your heater (if you have the KIP), is mounted so the bottom of the heater is about 5-7” from the ground. If it is any higher, the hot air will be less likely to heat the lower part of your sauna. Move the temperature sensor lower. The purpose of the high-limit sensor is to shut off your heater if the room gets too hot. Since heat rises, if your sensor is too high, it could trigger the heater shut-off prematurely. We recommend placing the sensor 14"-18" down from the ceiling and 14"-18" away from the heater. Do not overpack the heater with sauna stones. Each KIP heater comes with a box of sauna stones –– you should have 5-10 stones left over. Fill the heater by starting with the smallest rocks and add stones until the elements are just covered. See More Heater Tips on YouTube Inside the sauna Close the vents. Most Almost Heaven saunas come with a set of vents: one under the heater to pull in fresh air, and a second near the ceiling on the wall opposite the heater to exhaust. We recommend leaving these vents open as the heater is warming up to avoid triggering the high-limit sensor. There is no harm in closing them as you begin your session and opening them again if it gets stuffy. Fan the hot air. Setting up a small fan or waving a towel will help spread out some of the hot air that tends to congregate near the top of the sauna. Add some humidity to your dry sauna! The beauty of a traditional heater is that you can sprinkle water over the stones, creating a burst of steam that dissipates throughout the sauna room. Though dry heat and wet heat are technically the same temperature, the wet heat feels a lot hotter than just dry alone. Outside the sauna Cover the sauna for extra insulation. This is particularly effective on barrel saunas located outdoors in colder climates. Adding an extra layer to the top of your sauna will help to trap that hot air in tightly. Our recommendations are poly insulation layered on top of an indoor sauna, or a rain jacket on a barrel sauna, as both of these options are able to stay intact while the sauna is in use. Poly insulation layered on top of an indoor sauna. Rain jacket on a barrel sauna. Tightly seal the sauna. Any gaps between barrel sauna staves or around the door can be releasing valuable hot air. Make sure the hinges on your door are tight to keep the door from slipping. If there are additional spaces around the door, adding a piece of weather stripping will help to increase the temperature in your sauna. As for barrel saunas, ensuring you’ve added as many staves as possible and fully tightened the bands is essential to sealing the sauna well. Remember, as you keep those temperatures rising, be sure to take it slow and stay hydrated. Your body will need time to acclimate to higher temperatures. But now that you have the inside scoop, go enjoy yourself an extra-sweaty sauna! If you have any questions on how to increase the temperature on your specific sauna heater, give Almost Heaven Saunas a call at 888.355.3050.

When Should I Cover My Sauna?
When it rains, it pours. But how do you know when it’s time to give your barrel sauna some extra cover? Before we jump into the best cover for your sauna, first things first — let’s talk about the lumber. Your barrel sauna will likely have some water seepage. This is a natural byproduct of the soft lumbers that we use to build the saunas. After a rainfall, if you see some wet spots in your sauna – don’t panic! It will dry with time, but feel free to speed up the process by turning the heater on. Regular sauna use ensures that the interior room is kept dry. However, if you want to prevent seepage, we have some options. Now, what are some reasons you may need to cover your sauna? -The sauna is located under trees and is susceptible to bird and tree debris -Your area experiences a lot of precipitation -Your climate bounces between extreme weather conditions -You like the look of a sauna cover If you strongly relate to one of the above statements, then congratulations! You should think about getting a sauna cover. You are probably wondering what your options are. Take a look at the list below and see which cover works best for your sauna. 1. Almost Heaven Rain Jacket We have removable rain jackets for the spring or winter seasons when you might experience a lot of precipitation! The rain jacket comes in three colors (tan, charcoal gray, or navy) and attaches to the sauna with discrete bungees that connect to small eyelet screws. This makes installation and removal seamless! Bonus: you can leave this cover on top while the sauna is on. Check them out here! 2. Corrugated Metal Roof This is a more permanent solution for covering your sauna and can come in any color you want! Just check out your local hardware store for their options. Use .75” sheet metal screws to secure the roof onto your barrel sauna and voila, you should cut down on any pesky precipitation! 3. Roofing Shingles The great thing about using roofing shingles to cover your sauna is that you have a lot of options in both style and color! Installation may take more time since you are working with individual shingles. However, this means you can cover as much or as little of the top of the sauna as you want! 4. Physical Cover Think: awning, covered, porch, or free-standing structure. Use your carpentry skills or commission a friend to build your barrel sauna a beautiful centerpiece to cover it from precipitation. This option will take a lot of resources, but if you are already showcasing your barrel sauna in your backyard, why not go all out? 5. Tarp Perhaps the easiest option on this list, simply purchase a tarp to cover the sauna when it is not in use. You can strap them down however you wish and just remove before you start your sauna session! We hope this list has been useful as your sauna becomes acclimated to its environment. If you are pondering a barrel sauna purchase, we invite you to browse our sauna sale page and see if there is a right fit for you!

Become the Best Version of Yourself
Become the Best Version of Yourself Working toward personal goals—whether it’s improving health, making more time for loved ones, or prioritizing self-care—can be challenging. As life gets busy, routines shift, and motivation can fade. Almost Heaven Saunas is here to help you stay on track with five practical ways to enhance your sauna experience and support your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life. 1. Add Essential Oils Elevate your sauna experience with the power of essential oils. Almost Heaven Saunas offers eight natural essential oil scents, available in a box set or individually. Each oil carries unique benefits: Pine – Reduces inflammation, boosts immunity, relieves stress Ylang Ylang – Mood-lifting, antiseptic, deeply relaxing Lavender – Enhances sleep, reduces anxiety, eases pain Cedarwood – Anti-inflammatory, natural antiseptic, deodorizer Frankincense – Supports immunity, promotes skin health, aids digestion Eucalyptus – Invigorating, relaxing, clears the mind Peppermint – Energizing, cooling, and calming Lemon – Mood booster, immune support, natural antiseptic Mix and match to create the perfect sauna atmosphere—just add a few drops of oil to a bucket of water and enjoy the benefits of these mood-boosting, body-relaxing, and mind-clearing scents. 2. Turn up the heat- Sauna Workouts Maximize your sauna time by incorporating light movement. Try squats, push-ups, or gentle stretching—heat helps release lactic acid from muscles, easing tension and improving flexibility. Simply sitting in a sauna burns calories, but adding a little activity can enhance the benefits. Just remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body! 3. Family Sauna Night Prioritize meaningful connections by dedicating time to a sauna night with family or friends. No screens, no distractions—just genuine conversation and relaxation in the warmth of your sauna. 4. Get Better Sleep Saunas help melt away stress, allowing the body to unwind and the mind to relax. As a sauna session ends, endorphins are released, creating a deep sense of calm that promotes restful sleep. Struggling with insomnia? A few drops of lavender essential oil in the sauna can help prepare the body and mind for a night of deep, quality rest. 5. Be Consistent Sticking to healthy habits can be difficult, but consistency is key. The more regularly a sauna is used, the more noticeable the benefits become. Regular sauna sessions not only promote relaxation but also contribute to overall well-being, helping to maintain focus, energy, and motivation in all areas of life. No matter what the goal, taking time for a sauna session can help restore balance—physically, mentally, and spiritually—leaving you refreshed and ready to keep moving forward. Start today. Start with a sauna.

How To Prepare Your Indoor Sauna Space
Installing an indoor sauna is a fantastic way to create a personal wellness retreat inside your home. Whether integrating a freestanding sauna or building a custom sauna, proper preparation ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Step 1: Choose the Right Location Before installing your sauna, consider the following factors to select the best location: ✔️ Accessibility: Pick a space that is easy to reach and provides privacy, ideally near a bathroom or shower for post-sauna rinsing. ✔️ Structural Integrity: Ensure the floor can support the sauna’s weight, especially in multi-story homes. ✔️ Ventilation: Good ventilation is essential to allow for fresh air intake and moisture removal. ✔️ Available Space: Determine the size of your sauna based on your needs and available room space. Common indoor sauna locations include: Home gyms Master bathrooms Basements Spas or wellness areas Thinking about placing an indoor sauna outdoors? Indoor saunas are not designed to withstand outdoor elements like rain or snow. If you’re considering an outdoor installation, keep in mind: Covering is required: A covered patio or pergola is ideal. Glass retains less heat: Indoor saunas have more glass than outdoor models, so in colder climates, upgrading to a more powerful heater is recommended. No enclosed floor: Indoor saunas do not come with flooring. If placing it on a slatted deck, install a sealed platform underneath to prevent drafts. Step 2: Frame Insulate the Space If you are building a custom indoor sauna, proper framing and insulation are key to heat retention and moisture control. ✔️ Frame the area: Use wood framing to create the sauna enclosure. ✔️ Insulate walls and ceiling: Use high-quality insulation like fiberglass or rock wool to maintain heat efficiency. ✔️ Install a vapor barrier: A foil-faced vapor barrier should be installed to prevent moisture from seeping into surrounding walls. Freestanding saunas do not require framing but should still be placed in a well-ventilated, dry area. Step 3: Electrical Considerations for Your Heater If you choose an electric sauna heater, proper installation is crucial for safety and compliance. ✔️ Power source: Ensure your chosen location has access to the appropriate electrical supply. ✔️ Consult an electrician: All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician who understands local codes and regulations. ✔️ Cost considerations: Electrical installation costs vary based on: Distance from your sauna to your electrical panel Local electrician rates Cost of wiring and material ✔️ Get multiple quotes: We recommend contacting 2-3 electricians for estimates before starting installation. Step 4: Prepare the Floor Your indoor sauna can be placed on almost any solid surface—including concrete, tile, and laminate. However, avoid placing it directly on carpet or hardwood flooring, as moisture and heat can cause damage. ✔️ Use a waterproof surface: Tile, concrete, or other water-resistant materials are best. ✔️ Ensure proper drainage: A slight floor slope can direct water toward a drain in areas with higher moisture. ✔️ Install a sealed platform if necessary: If placing the sauna on a slatted deck, build a sealed platform underneath to eliminate drafts. Step 5: Plan for Final Details Before installation, consider these final touches: ✔️ Door Size Placement: Ensure the sauna door is positioned for easy access. ✔️ Benches Seating: Plan your seating arrangement based on your comfort and available space. ✔️ Lighting: Use low-wattage, sauna-safe lighting to enhance the atmosphere. Step 6: Shipping Delivery Information All Almost Heaven Saunas ship within the continental U.S. via freight service. Here’s what to expect: ✔️ Delivery Timeline: Most saunas ship within 2-4 weeks, depending on the model and inventory availability. ✔️ Freight Delivery: The sauna will arrive in multiple flat-packaged boxes on a large truck.
