Gravity Wellness uses only clear-grade cuts free from knots and sapwood, ensuring consistent performance and appearance. Every panel is inspected before assembly, and the made-to-order process means your sauna arrives ready for straightforward installation without modifications or compromises Outdoor sauna options.
At a glance
How traditional sauna heat therapy benefits your health
Traditional saunas generate intense dry heat that raises core body temperature and triggers cardiovascular responses similar to moderate exercise. At 80-100 degrees Celsius, your heart rate increases, blood vessels dilate, and circulation improves throughout peripheral tissues. Research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings demonstrates that 3-4 sessions per week produce the greatest cardiovascular benefit, reducing risk factors for hypertension and arterial disease. The high-temperature environment also induces deep sweating that helps eliminate metabolic waste products and supports natural detoxification pathways. Unlike infrared models that heat tissue directly, traditional saunas warm the air around you, creating the authentic Finnish bathing experience preferred by experienced users.
Electric heaters in Gravity Wellness traditional saunas reach full operating temperature within 30-40 minutes, giving you time to prepare towels and water. Running costs average approximately 2-3 pounds per session at current UK electricity rates, making regular use affordable for most Berkshire households. The cabins require standard 240-volt supply, though larger four-person models benefit from dedicated circuits to avoid tripping breakers during heat-up. Ventilation panels maintain fresh air circulation without heat loss, and insulated walls retain temperature efficiently once the cabin reaches operating range.
Handcrafted Canadian hemlock construction
Every sauna is built to order using clear-grade Canadian hemlock selected for its natural resistance to warping and resin bleed at high temperatures. Tongue-and-groove joinery creates airtight seals that maintain heat efficiency and structural integrity across 15-20 years of regular use in UK conditions.
Authentic Finnish heat experience
Electric heaters deliver dry heat at 80-100 degrees Celsius, replicating the traditional Finnish sauna environment that research links to cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits. Integrated ventilation maintains fresh air circulation while retaining cabin temperature, and optional steam generators add humidity control for users who prefer softer heat.

What Berkshire homeowners need before installing a traditional sauna
Traditional saunas require level flooring capable of supporting 200-300 kilograms distributed across the cabin footprint, plus clearance for ventilation and door swing. One-person models occupy approximately 1.0 x 1.0 meters, two-person cabins around 1.5 x 1.2 meters, and four-person units approximately 2.0 x 1.8 meters. Ceiling height should allow at least 1.9 meters internal clearance, with additional space above for heat exhaust ventilation. Most Berkshire properties accommodate traditional saunas in spare bedrooms, converted garages, garden studios, or dedicated wellness rooms. Exterior placement requires weatherproof housing or purpose-built sauna buildings with foundations that drain moisture and prevent timber contact with damp ground.
Electrical supply for traditional heaters depends on cabin size and heater output. Compact one- and two-person models typically operate on standard UK 13-amp circuits, while larger four-person units may require dedicated 16-amp or 32-amp supply installed by a qualified electrician. Gravity Wellness provides exact electrical specifications with your order confirmation, allowing you to arrange any necessary upgrades before delivery. Berkshire building regulations do not typically require planning permission for indoor sauna installation, though listed buildings and conservation areas may have additional restrictions worth checking with your local council before ordering.
