When custom is the best choice

Custom sauna design

Custom saunas are perfect for MANY applications and can be done during new construction or renovations. Residences, hotels, corporate fitness centers, health clubs, apartment buildings, and more - wherever a sauna is wanted, we can help bring it to life. A special design or unique location doesn't mean you have to settle for less.

Your options are unlimited — innovative use of glass windows and doors, unusual angles, unique bench configurations, and so on. Your design, in partnership with our experience and quality craftsmanship, assures unmatched form and function. If you can design it, we can build it.

How it works

Bringing a custom sauna to life is a team effort. You'll start by enlisting the help of a local Finnleo dealer. They will help you (and/or your designer) navigate the custom sauna design process; by understanding your space, your vision, and our capabilities, they can layout your in-home sauna.

From there, we review, create a CAD drawing, confirm manufacturability, and occasionally offer suggestions for improvement. With your approval, we custom manufacture the sauna pieces to your specifications. A complete sauna kit is then delivered, ready for installation.

Your dealer's contracting team, or yours, takes over from here, installing the sauna onto your framed walls. When it's done, you'll have a custom built-in sauna made just for your home.
