Common Questions

What is a sauna?

A sauna is a room constructed of softwood with a single heater, either electric or wood-burning, that is capable of reaching temperatures up to 200° Fahrenheit. The high temperatures produce a very dry environment with extremely low humidity. You can tolerate the heat because of the low humidity, and since the soft lumber does not absorb significant heat, you can sit in comfort.

What is the difference between a wet sauna and a dry sauna?

They are one and the same. When you enter the hot sauna, and before any water is sprinkled on the rocks, it is considered a dry sauna due to the dry heat and absence of humidity in the hot environment. The minute you generate steam by sprinkling water on the rocks, it is considered a wet sauna due to the humidity that quickly engulfs the room. Essentially it is a sauna room, and the wet or dry terminology relates to the level of humidity in the room.

How is a wet/dry sauna different than an infrared sauna?

By definition, a sauna is a room where water is used to generate steam, so technically the infrared experience is not a sauna at all even though the term “sauna” is applied by most throughout the industry. Infrared does not warm the room but instead penetrates the body with infrared rays. It does so at a low temperature and is helpful in relieving sore joints and muscles. The proper definition for the infrared experience is to refer to it as an “infrared therapy room.” The wet/dry sauna is a total body experience, providing joint and muscle relief as well as a host of other health benefits.

What are the operational costs?

The costs of operating a wet/dry sauna are minimal for a couple of reasons. First, the unit operates on efficient 220 volt electric and draws less than 30 amps of power. Second, unlike a spa or other household appliance, it only runs when you want to use it. You heat up the sauna no more than an hour or so before you want to use it and then shut it off when you’re finished, usually twenty to thirty minutes later. The costs of operation are negligible under normal use.

How difficult is assembly?

Because of the precision dado cuts and high-grade lumber, Almost Heaven Saunas are very easy to assemble and can typically be put together by two people in only a few hours. The saunas come partially assembled and the sections simply need to be fitted in place. The Barrel Sauna comes with a pre-assembled front and back and requires the staves to be placed around the ends and then tightened with the stainless bands. The Silo and Modern Saunas come with pre-assembled floors and ceilings as well as pre-made wall sections. These are fitted together and then held in place with the stainless bands on the top and bottom. Bench sections are precut and simply need to be installed after the room is assembled. Easy to follow instruction manuals can be viewed in the manuals section of our web site and are included with each sauna kit.
