Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thermo-Spruce wood and why is it better?
Thermo-Spruce is natural spruce wood that has been organically enhanced through a high-temperature thermal modification process. This process removes moisture and resins, making the wood significantly more durable, stable, and resistant to rot and pests than standard wood. It's an ideal material for premium outdoor saunas that need to withstand the elements.
How many people can comfortably use the CL5G sauna?
The SaunaLife Model CL5G is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 4 adults. Its spacious interior and ergonomic benches ensure everyone has enough room to relax. If you require a larger capacity, you might consider the SaunaLife Model CL7G or the expansive SaunaLife Model CL12GCP for up to 8 people.
What kind of heater do I need for this sauna?
This sauna kit does not include a heater, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs (electric or wood-burning). For a sauna of this size (approximately 230 adjusted cubic feet), an 8kW electric heater is typically recommended. Please consult your electrician to ensure your power supply is adequate for the heater you select.
What kind of foundation is required for installation?
The CL5G requires a solid, level, and stable foundation. Suitable options include a concrete slab, paved patio stones, or a reinforced deck. It is crucial to ensure the base is perfectly level for proper assembly and door function. We recommend consulting a local contractor for the best solution for your property.
How much electricity will this sauna use?
The electricity consumption depends entirely on the heater you install. The included LED lighting system uses very minimal power. The heater will be the main consumer, and its usage depends on its wattage and how long you run it. For a detailed breakdown of potential costs, check out our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Can I pair this sauna with an outdoor shower?
Absolutely! Creating a complete backyard spa experience is a popular choice. The CL5G pairs beautifully with an outdoor shower for a refreshing rinse post-sauna. Consider the SaunaLife Barrel Shower Model R3 for a perfectly matched aesthetic.
