This clear-grade wood naturally resists warping and resin bleed, maintaining structural integrity through thousands of heating cycles.

Each unit is handcrafted to order using traditional tongue-and-groove joinery, ensuring airtight seals and optimal heat retention. Delivery to mainland Scotland including Inverness takes approximately 60 days from order confirmation, with every component arriving ready for straightforward assembly in your chosen space Two person traditional saunas.
Whether you select a compact one-person infrared model or a spacious four-person traditional cabin, the manufacturing process remains consistent. Experienced craftspeople construct each panel to exact specifications, fitting premium-grade heaters and electrical components before final quality inspection. Most infrared models operate on standard UK 13-amp household circuits, eliminating the need for dedicated wiring. Traditional saunas reach temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius, while infrared units provide gentler heat at 45 to 60 degrees. Both variants deliver the cardiovascular and recovery benefits documented in peer-reviewed research Single person infrared units.

Traditional Versus Infrared Sauna Technology
Traditional saunas heat the surrounding air using electric or wood-fired heaters, raising cabin temperatures to between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius. This intense ambient heat induces deep perspiration and cardiovascular response. Infrared saunas emit radiant energy that penetrates skin directly, warming the body at lower air temperatures of 45 to 60 degrees Celsius. Mayo Clinic Proceedings research indicates that 3 to 4 sessions per week deliver the greatest cardiovascular benefit, regardless of heat source. Both technologies promote circulation, aid muscle recovery, and support stress reduction. The choice depends on personal preference for intensity, session duration, and electrical capacity at your Inverness property.
Most UK homes can accommodate infrared models without electrical upgrades, as they draw power through standard 13-amp sockets. Traditional electric saunas may require dedicated circuits depending on heater wattage and cabin size. Running costs remain modest: traditional units consume approximately 2 to 3 pounds per session, while infrared models operate for under 1 pound at current UK energy rates. Both sauna types fit comfortably in spare bedrooms, conservatories, or garden rooms, with compact one-person cabins occupying less than 1.2 metres square of floor space.
Clear-Grade Canadian Hemlock Construction
Every Gravity Wellness sauna uses premium Canadian hemlock selected for minimal knots and consistent grain. This timber maintains dimensional stability through repeated heating and cooling, resisting warping and splitting over decades. The natural wood aroma enhances each session without chemical treatments or synthetic sealants.
Handcrafted Tongue-and-Groove Joinery
Experienced craftspeople assemble each panel using traditional interlocking joints that create airtight seals and superior insulation. This construction method eliminates drafts, maximises heat retention, and ensures consistent temperature distribution. Every corner and edge is finished by hand to precise tolerances for flush panel alignment.

Space Planning and Installation Guidance for Inverness Homes
Selecting the correct sauna size begins with measuring your intended installation space and allowing clearance around the cabin for ventilation and access. One-person units typically require 1.2 by 1.2 metres of floor space, while four-person models need approximately 2 by 2 metres. Ceiling height should accommodate the cabin height plus 15 centimetres for air circulation. Traditional saunas benefit from placement near external walls for ventilation ducting, while infrared models generate minimal moisture and integrate easily into bedrooms or home gyms. Electrical supply must meet heater requirements: most infrared units operate on standard 13-amp circuits, but larger traditional saunas may need dedicated 16-amp or 32-amp supplies installed by a qualified electrician.
Scottish building regulations do not typically require planning permission for indoor saunas, as they constitute non-structural installations. Outdoor cabin saunas may require notification if they exceed certain dimensions or are positioned close to boundary lines. Inverness properties with solid floors benefit from the stable base that supports heavy timber construction, while upper-floor installations should verify joist capacity. Ventilation planning ensures fresh air circulation during sessions, particularly important for traditional saunas operating at higher temperatures.
