Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main benefit of Thermo-Spruce over Cedar?
Thermo-Spruce is thermally modified wood that is heated to high temperatures in a kiln, removing moisture and resins. This process makes it up to 2X more durable than Cedar, highly resistant to rot and decay, and dimensionally stable, meaning it won't warp or shrink in changing weather. It's an eco-friendly and chemical-free choice for a long-lasting outdoor sauna.
How many people can comfortably use the Model E7?
The Model E7 is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 4 bathers. Its ergonomic benches and spacious interior ensure everyone has ample room to relax. If you require more space, we also offer a range of 6-person saunas.
Does this sauna come with a heater?
No, the heater is sold separately. This allows you to select the ideal heater for your preferences, whether it's an electric or wood-burning model. You can browse our selection of compatible heaters on our site.
What is the difference between the E7 and other SaunaLife barrels?
The Model E7 is a cornerstone of the ERGO-Series. It offers a perfect balance of size and features. The smaller SaunaLife Model E6 is ideal for more compact spaces, while the larger SaunaLife Model E8 offers more room. For a scenic view, consider the Model E7W, which includes a beautiful window.
Is the roofing kit necessary for an outdoor installation?
Yes, absolutely. A proper roof is critical for the longevity of any outdoor barrel sauna. The included black shingle roof kit and drip edge provide essential protection from rain, snow, and sun, preventing water damage and ensuring your sauna lasts for years to come.
How much electricity does a sauna like this use?
The electricity consumption depends entirely on the electric heater you choose to install. Factors include the heater's kilowatt (kW) rating, your local electricity rates, and how often you use it. For a detailed breakdown, please read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
