Orange County Custom Sauna Installers

Fortunately, custom saunas are relatively low maintenance—especially when properly designed and installed with high-quality materials. With regular care, your sauna can deliver years of clean, consistent performance. We recommend the following:

Wipe down benches, backrests, and walls with a soft towel after each use to remove sweat and moisture buildup.

Use soft or distilled water in steam units (if applicable) to reduce mineral deposits and extend heater lifespan.

Keep air vents open to ensure proper ventilation and drying between sessions, helping to prevent odor or mold issues.

Perform a deep clean of wood surfaces every 1–2 months using a non-toxic, sauna-safe cleaner and soft brush.

Inspect heater elements and wiring annually—or more frequently in commercial settings—to ensure safe and even heating.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive tools, or excessive water. For infrared and electric models, always follow the manufacturer’s specific maintenance instructions for your control system and panels.

Our team provides full care instructions during the final walkthrough and can recommend maintenance products that suit your specific sauna materials. If you ever have a question down the line—or want to upgrade features—we’re always available to assist. Sauna care doesn’t have to be complicated—it just requires consistency and a few simple habits.

Yes—and the difference comes down to how heat is produced and experienced:

* Steam saunas use a heater and water source to generate high humidity and wet heat. Great for relaxation, skin, and respiratory health.

* Traditional dry saunas use high heat (often 160°F to 200°F) to warm the air and produce sweat via ambient temperature.

* Infrared saunas heat your body directly using radiant energy, typically at lower temperatures (100°F to 130°F).

Each has distinct health benefits and comfort levels. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which best aligns with your needs.

Prices vary based on size, materials, heating system, and complexity. Here are some general starting ranges:

* Indoor saunas: \$7,000–\$15,000

* Outdoor saunas: \$10,000–\$25,000

* Infrared saunas: \$5,000–\$12,000

* Steam saunas: \$8,000–\$20,000

* Pre-built installations: Starting at \$1,500 for setup only

* Commercial saunas: \$20,000+ depending on scope and brand elements
