Sisu saunas: stand free

Our custom panel-built saunas, called Sisu, are a great solution when you're looking for a uniquely designed stand-alone sauna to set into your existing indoor space; maybe your gym, wellness center, spa, basement, spare room, or other. 

Personalize with design options that complement and enhance your sauna's final destination. Wood selection, door design, window placement, electric heater, and more are design decisions you get to make. 

This process begins with our local dealers, who guide you through the design, measurements, delivery, and installation. We manufacture the panels perfectly to your specifications, and deliver pre-built panels and components, ready for final assembly.
