Traditional and infrared options for Home Counties buyers
Traditional saunas use electric heaters to warm the cabin air to 80-100 degrees Celsius, creating the authentic Finnish experience with optional water-on-rocks steam. Infrared models use carbon panel heaters that warm the body directly at lower ambient temperatures of 45-60 degrees Celsius, requiring less energy and shorter warm-up times. Mayo Clinic Proceedings research identifies 3-4 sessions per week as the frequency linked to greatest cardiovascular benefit, making running costs a practical consideration. Traditional saunas cost approximately 2-3 pounds per session at current UK electricity rates, while infrared models run for under 1 pound per session. Both types connect to standard 13-amp sockets with no hardwiring or dedicated circuit required.
Home Counties properties often include garden rooms, garage conversions, or bedroom extensions that provide ideal sauna locations with existing electrical supply. The plug-and-play electrical specification means installation involves positioning the sauna cabin and connecting to the nearest wall socket, with no building control notification or Part P certification required. Clear-grade Canadian hemlock provides natural insulation that retains heat efficiently while remaining cool enough to touch on exterior surfaces. Every sauna ships as pre-fabricated panels with tongue-and-groove edges that slot together without specialized tools or trade skills.
Made to order in Canadian hemlock
Every sauna is handcrafted after order confirmation using clear-grade Canadian hemlock selected for its natural resistance to warping and resin bleed at high temperatures. Tongue-and-groove joinery ensures airtight panel connections that retain heat efficiently while allowing natural timber expansion and contraction across UK seasonal temperature variations without structural stress or gap formation.
Standard UK plug connection only
All Gravity Wellness saunas connect to a standard UK 13-amp wall socket with no electrician, no hardwiring, and no dedicated circuit required. This plug-and-play specification eliminates installation costs and building control notifications, making sauna ownership accessible without the electrical infrastructure investment traditionally associated with home wellness equipment installations.

Space requirements and installation planning for Home Counties homes
Single-person saunas require approximately 1 square meter of floor space, while two-person models need 1.5-2 square meters and four-person cabins require 3-4 square meters depending on internal layout. Ceiling height should allow 10-15 centimeters clearance above the cabin for ventilation, with most models standing 190-200 centimeters tall. The sauna must sit on a level surface capable of supporting 150-300 kilograms depending on model size, making ground floor rooms, reinforced upper floors, and concrete garage floors all suitable. A standard UK 13-amp socket within 2 meters of the planned position is the only electrical requirement, with no ventilation ducting or water supply needed for dry sauna operation.
Home Counties properties built in the past 30 years typically include garage spaces, garden rooms, or bedroom extensions that provide ideal sauna locations with existing electrical infrastructure and level flooring. Older properties may require floor reinforcement assessment if installing upstairs, though ground floor positioning eliminates structural loading concerns entirely. Traditional models require 20-30 minutes to reach operating temperature, while infrared cabins are ready in 10-15 minutes, making either type practical for daily use without excessive warm-up energy consumption.
