Premium Handmade Sauna Cheltenham for Your Home
Every sauna Cheltenham from Gravity Wellness is handcrafted to order using clear-grade Canadian hemlock, a timber species chosen specifically for its natural resistance to warping and resin bleed under sustained high heat. Each cabin is built using traditional tongue-and-groove joinery by experienced craftspeople, ensuring structural integrity that lasts 15 to 20 years in typical UK conditions. Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine demonstrates that regular sauna use reduces cardiovascular mortality by up to 50 percent, making this investment both a wellness and longevity decision.

Traditional saunas operate at 80 to 100 degrees Celsius, delivering the authentic Finnish bathing experience with electric heaters that plug into standard UK 13-amp circuits. Infrared models function at 45 to 60 degrees Celsius, using ceramic or carbon panels to generate penetrating warmth without the intensity of steam heat. Both formats are available in one-person, two-person and four-person configurations, allowing you to match capacity to available floor space and household size. Every cabin ships with heater, controls, interior lighting and all necessary hardware for assembly One person infrared sauna.
At a glance
How Traditional and Infrared Saunas Work
Traditional saunas use electric heaters topped with volcanic stones to generate dry heat that raises cabin temperature to 80 to 100 degrees Celsius. Water poured over the stones produces löyly, the burst of steam that increases perceived heat and stimulates deep perspiration. Mayo Clinic Proceedings research identifies three to four sessions per week as the frequency linked to greatest cardiovascular benefit, a target easily achieved with home installation. Infrared saunas bypass ambient air heating, instead using ceramic or carbon panels to emit wavelengths that penetrate skin and warm tissue directly at lower operating temperatures of 45 to 60 degrees Celsius.
Running costs for traditional saunas average two to three pounds per session at current UK electricity rates, while infrared models consume less than one pound per use due to lower wattage requirements and faster preheat times. Both formats require only a standard 13-amp plug for most residential models, eliminating the need for dedicated circuits or electrician call-outs. Assembly typically takes two adults four to six hours using the provided instructions and basic hand tools. Floor protection is recommended to guard against moisture and heat transfer to underlying surfaces.
Clear-Grade Canadian Hemlock Construction
Every sauna is built from clear-grade Canadian hemlock selected for minimal knots and uniform grain. This timber naturally resists warping and resin bleed when exposed to sustained high temperatures, ensuring your cabin maintains structural integrity and visual appearance throughout its 15 to 20 year lifespan in typical UK conditions.

Planning Your Sauna Cheltenham Installation
Space requirements depend on model size, with one-person cabins occupying approximately 1.0 by 1.0 metres, two-person models needing 1.2 by 1.5 metres and four-person saunas requiring 2.0 by 2.0 metres or more. Add 10 to 15 centimetres clearance on all sides for ventilation and maintenance access. Floor surface must be level, dry and capable of supporting 150 to 300 kilograms depending on model and occupancy. Vinyl, tile and sealed concrete are ideal substrates, while carpet should be removed or protected. Traditional saunas benefit from a floor drain if installed in basements or wet rooms, though this is not essential for upper-floor or garage installations.
Electrical requirements are straightforward for most models, with infrared saunas and smaller traditional units running on standard UK 13-amp circuits. Larger traditional saunas with high-output heaters may require a dedicated 16-amp circuit installed by a qualified electrician. Ventilation is passive in most residential installations, with adjustable vents at floor and ceiling level allowing fresh air circulation without mechanical extraction. Ceiling height should allow at least 10 centimetres clearance above the cabin for heat dissipation.
