Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a traditional steam sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional steam sauna, like the Arosa, uses a heater to warm rocks. You pour water over the rocks to create steam, which heats the air to high temperatures for a deep sweat. This differs from infrared saunas, which use light waves to heat your body directly at lower air temperatures. Both offer incredible health benefits, but the experience is quite different.
Is this the right size for me?
The 4-person Arosa is our most popular size, perfect for couples or small families. For a more intimate experience, we offer the Golden Designs St. Moritz 2-person sauna. If you plan on hosting larger groups, the 6-person Klosters might be a better fit.
What are the main benefits of using a barrel sauna?
The classic shape of barrel saunas allows for excellent heat circulation and structural integrity. The curved walls help heat the room faster and more evenly, and the design is naturally robust, making it exceptionally durable for outdoor environments.
How much will this sauna cost to operate?
The Harvia 6KW heater is energy-efficient for its power. The exact cost will depend on your local electricity rates and how often you use the sauna. For a detailed breakdown, you can read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Can I install this sauna indoors?
This model is specifically designed as one of our premier outdoor saunas due to its weather-resistant cedar construction. While indoor installation may be possible in a large, well-ventilated space with proper flooring and electrical hookups, we recommend exploring our dedicated selection of indoor saunas for that purpose.
