DIY sauna
The Worthington was designed with elegance and relaxation in mind. The front wall is entirely glass, which adds both natural light and an open feel to the sauna room. The full-length top bench and L extension are long enough for you to stretch out and relax, or invite a few friends over. The Harvia 8kW electric heater will get the room up to temperatures of 195ºF in an hour, or you can delay the start time up to eight hours. The Worthington will complement any home looking to benefit from the traditional sauna experience.

Care & Maintenance
Traditional saunas require very little upkeep. Simply wipe down the interior after each use and check for any dust or debris that you may have tracked in. Read more about long-term care and maintenance here.
Traditional Sauna
Heater and stones are essential to a traditional sauna experience. With the room at least heated to 160ºF, the traditional sauna can be enjoyed two ways. The first is called a dry sauna, which lacks any added moisture. The second is called a wet sauna, where you sprinkle water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity. Traditional indoor saunas use your existing floor, and the Worthington is no exception. Read about suitable floor options here.
Assembly
Mid-level handyman and assembly skills are recommended for this sauna. Minimal sawing or modifying certain components may be necessary during the assembly process. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6-8 hours. It is recommended that you review the installation manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the process.
