Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this traditional sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional sauna, like the Sundsvall, uses a stove to heat rocks, which then heat the air to a high temperature (typically 150-185°F). You can pour water on the rocks to create steam, which raises the humidity. This is the classic Finnish sauna experience. In contrast, infrared saunas use light waves to heat your body directly at a lower air temperature. Both offer excellent health benefits, but the experience is quite different.
Can this sauna be installed outdoors?
The Golden Designs Sundsvall is designed and warrantied for indoor use only. The electronics and wood are not rated for direct exposure to rain, snow, or extreme temperature fluctuations. For weather-resistant options, please explore our dedicated collection of outdoor saunas designed to withstand the elements.
How much will this sauna cost to run?
The primary energy consumption comes from the 4.5KW Harvia heater. The exact cost depends on your local electricity rates and usage frequency. For a detailed breakdown of how to estimate your costs, we recommend reading our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Does this model come in a larger size?
Yes, Golden Designs offers similar high-quality traditional saunas in larger capacities. If you need more space, consider the Golden Designs Copenhagen 3-Person Sauna or for larger groups, the impressive Osla 6-Person Sauna.
Is a certified electrician really necessary for installation?
Absolutely. For your safety and to ensure the sauna functions correctly, a licensed and certified electrician must perform the electrical hookup. This involves connecting two separate dedicated circuits, which is not a DIY project. Improper installation can be a fire hazard and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
