Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Thermo-Spruce and Cedar?
Thermo-Spruce is a thermally modified wood that is more resistant to rot, moisture, and decay, allowing it to last up to twice as long as Cedar in outdoor environments. It also offers superior insulation and dimensional stability, preventing warping over time.
How many people can comfortably use the E6W sauna?
The Model E6W is designed to comfortably accommodate up to three bathers at a time. For larger groups, you might consider the SaunaLife Model E7W or browse our other 4-person saunas.
Is a sauna heater included with this kit?
A sauna heater is not included, which allows you to choose the perfect electric or wood-fired heater for your specific needs. The sauna includes a standard heater guard for safety. Be sure to check our guide on the best sauna heaters to find the right one for your new barrel.
What kind of foundation is required?
The sauna must be placed on a solid, level surface. A concrete pad, paver patio, or a well-constructed deck are all excellent options. The included support cradles ensure the barrel is stable and secure.
How should I maintain the wood?
The kit includes a complimentary bottle of paraffin oil to treat the interior wood, which enriches its color and protects it from moisture. The exterior Thermo-Spruce is naturally durable, but you can apply a UV-inhibiting sealant annually to maintain its rich, golden color.
