Why Choose This Model / Brand
-
Superior Thermo-Spruce Material – Unlike standard cedar, the thermally modified Spruce is exceptionally stable, resistant to decay, and provides a higher insulation value, ensuring longevity and efficiency.
-
Unmatched Comfort & Space – The ERGO-Series boasts a generous diameter, eliminating the cramped feeling of smaller barrels and allowing for truly comfortable, ergonomically designed benches and backrests.
-
Complete Weatherproof Package – The included shingle roof kit and drip edge are essential for protecting your investment, features that are often expensive add-ons with other brands.
-
A View Like No Other – The expansive half-moon window transforms the sauna experience, offering an open, airy feel that standard barrel saunas simply cannot match.
