Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a traditional steam sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional sauna, like the Kuusamo, uses a stove to heat rocks, and water is ladled onto them to create steam and high ambient heat. This heats the air, which in turn heats your body. In contrast, infrared saunas use special heaters that emit infrared light, which directly heats your body without significantly warming the air around you. Both offer great health benefits, but the experience is different—traditional saunas provide a classic, humid heat, while infrared offers a drier, more direct warmth.
Can this sauna be installed outdoors?
The Golden Designs Kuusamo is primarily designed as an indoor sauna. While the construction is robust, it is not intended for direct exposure to weather elements like rain, snow, or direct sun. It can be installed in a covered and protected outdoor area, such as a patio, porch, or garage, but for a model specifically built for the outdoors, you might consider the Golden Designs Bergen.
What are the power requirements for this sauna?
This unit requires professional electrical installation with two separate circuits: a 240V/40A circuit for the powerful Harvia stove and a standard 120V/15A circuit for the lights and audio system. For more information on energy consumption, you can read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
How much ceiling height is required for installation?
The sauna stands at 82 inches (6 feet 10 inches) tall. We recommend a minimum ceiling height of at least 85-86 inches to allow for proper assembly and ventilation. Always measure your intended space carefully before purchasing.
Is this a good size for a family?
Absolutely. With a 6-person capacity, this sauna is an excellent choice for families or for those who enjoy hosting friends. The spacious benches provide ample room for everyone to sit or recline comfortably. It's a standout model in our lineup of 6 person saunas and offers a wonderful shared wellness experience.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Maintenance is straightforward. Regularly wipe down the benches with a damp cloth after use and ensure the sauna is aired out. The Canadian Red Cedar is naturally resistant to bacteria. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. To enhance comfort, you can also add accessories like the Golden Designs S-Shape Backrest, which is easy to remove for cleaning.
