Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a traditional steam sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional steam sauna, like the St. Moritz, uses a heater (in this case, a Harvia stove) to heat rocks. You pour water over the rocks to create steam, which heats the air in the room to high temperatures. This provides a deep, enveloping heat. In contrast, infrared saunas use special lamps that emit infrared light to heat your body directly, rather than heating the air around you, operating at lower temperatures. Both offer incredible health benefits, but the experience is quite different.
Can this sauna be installed indoors?
The St. Moritz is specifically designed as an outdoor barrel sauna. Its construction is meant to withstand the elements. For indoor use, we recommend exploring dedicated indoor saunas, which are designed with different ventilation and material considerations. The Golden Designs "Hanko Edition" is an excellent indoor alternative.
How much electricity does this sauna use?
The primary energy consumer is the 6KW (6000-watt) heater. The exact cost will depend on your local electricity rates and how long you run the sauna per session. The lighting system uses minimal energy. For a detailed breakdown of what to expect, we recommend reading our expert guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Do I need a special foundation for this barrel sauna?
Yes, a solid and level foundation is crucial for the stability and longevity of your barrel sauna. Suitable foundations include a concrete slab, paved patio stones, or a reinforced deck. The ground must be perfectly level to ensure the sauna sits correctly and the door functions properly. Do not place it directly on grass or uneven soil.
I need a sauna for more than two people. What do you recommend?
We have a wide range of options for larger groups. If you like the barrel style, Golden Designs offers the "Arosa" for 4 people and the "Klosters" for 6 people. We also have many other high-quality outdoor saunas to fit any space or capacity need.
