Get Your Size and Heater Confirmed
Heater size depends on your room’s volume and materials — glass, tile and masonry raise heat demand — so measurements should come before you order. Western Red Cedar is used across most models, with hemlock and poplar available on select custom builds. Every install also needs correctly planned intake and exhaust ventilation and a licensed electrician for the electrical connection.
Compare Saunacore’s traditional heaters or send your measurements and Saunacore will confirm the right heater and configuration for your space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traditional Saunas
What is the difference between a traditional sauna and a dry sauna?
A traditional sauna heats the room with an electric or wood-burning heater and sauna stones, which is why it’s often called a dry sauna. Humidity stays low overall, though you can add water to the stones for brief bursts of steam.
How much does a traditional home sauna cost in Canada?
Pricing depends on room size, model, wood choice, heater capacity, controls and any custom options you select. Request a quote based on your measurements to get accurate package pricing for your traditional sauna for home use anywhere in Canada, from a small indoor room to a larger custom build.
What size traditional sauna should I buy?
Size depends on the number of users, your preferred bench layout and the space available in your home, cottage or yard. Room volume also determines the required heater size, so confirm your measurements before ordering a standard or custom traditional Finnish sauna from Saunacore.
Which wood is best for a traditional sauna?
Western Red Cedar is the most common choice for traditional sauna interiors and benches because of its appearance and durability. Saunacore also offers hemlock and poplar on select models and custom projects, so you can choose a finish based on look, budget and availability.
What size electric heater does my sauna need?
Heater size is based on your room’s cubic volume and its construction materials. Glass, tile and masonry surfaces increase the heating requirement compared to a standard cedar room. Send Saunacore your interior measurements and you’ll receive a heater size and model recommendation for your traditional sauna.
Can a traditional sauna be installed indoors or outdoors?
Yes. Saunacore offers dedicated indoor and outdoor traditional sauna models to fit different properties. Outdoor builds require a structure, roofing and an installation plan designed for exterior exposure, while indoor models are built to fit basements, home gyms and other dedicated rooms.
