Traditional heat therapy designed for UK climates
Traditional outdoor saunas rely on a wood-burning or electric heater to warm the cabin to between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius, creating the intense dry heat essential for authentic Finnish-style bathing. The high temperature stimulates circulation, encourages perspiration, and delivers the cardiovascular benefits documented in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, where researchers found that three to four sessions per week offer the greatest heart health advantages. Canadian hemlock timber performs exceptionally well at these elevated temperatures because its cellular structure remains dimensionally stable, preventing gaps or splits that compromise heat retention. Each Gravity Wellness outdoor sauna is insulated to maintain consistent cabin temperature even during cooler Cornish evenings, reducing energy consumption while maximising session comfort.
Electric heaters for outdoor saunas typically operate on a standard UK 13-amp plug for smaller one- or two-person models, though larger cabins may require a dedicated circuit installed by a qualified electrician. Running costs for a traditional outdoor sauna average approximately two to three pounds per session at current UK electricity rates, making regular use affordable for most households. Wood-burning stoves offer an off-grid alternative and create an authentic sauna atmosphere, though they require chimney installation and compliance with local regulations regarding smoke emissions in residential areas.
Clear-grade Canadian hemlock construction
Every outdoor sauna is built from premium clear-grade Canadian hemlock, selected for its natural resistance to warping, cracking, and resin bleed at high temperatures. This timber offers exceptional longevity in UK coastal climates, maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal for 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance beyond periodic cleaning.
Handcrafted tongue-and-groove joinery
Experienced craftspeople assemble each sauna using traditional tongue-and-groove joinery, creating airtight seals that retain heat efficiently and prevent drafts. This construction method allows the timber to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes, ensuring the cabin remains weathertight across all seasons without developing gaps or leaks over time.

Each luxury outdoor sauna is handcrafted to order rather than mass-produced, allowing us to accommodate specific site dimensions and personal preferences.

Planning your luxury outdoor sauna in Cornwall
Before ordering your outdoor sauna, prepare a level hardstanding base such as a concrete pad, paving slabs, or compacted gravel strong enough to support the combined weight of the timber structure and occupants. A two-person outdoor sauna typically requires a footprint of approximately 1.5 by 1.5 metres, while four-person models need around 2 by 2 metres, though exact dimensions vary by design. Ensure the location allows at least 30 centimetres clearance on all sides for ventilation and maintenance access. Electric models require a weatherproof outdoor power supply, often achievable by extending an existing garden circuit, though larger heaters may need a dedicated circuit installed by a Part P qualified electrician. Wood-burning saunas require chimney clearance and compliance with local smoke control regulations if you live in a designated smoke control area.
Cornwall properties often benefit from sheltered garden spots that protect the sauna from prevailing Atlantic winds while maintaining natural ventilation. Positioning your outdoor sauna with a view of your garden or coastal landscape enhances the relaxation experience, allowing you to enjoy the Cornish scenery during cooling breaks between heat sessions. Most customers find that a simple concrete base poured to the exact sauna footprint provides the most stable foundation, though high-quality paving slabs laid on compacted hardcore work equally well if properly leveled.
