Frequently asked questions
We offer infrared saunas, traditional steam saunas, and electric stove saunas, each designed for outdoor or indoor use. Every model is built with premium materials, efficient insulation and stylish finishes to suit your garden or home.
In most cases, garden saunas fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission, especially when used as a personal wellness space. We’ll confirm during your site survey if your sauna meets the local planning requirements in Stockport or Cheshire.
Our modular saunas can be installed in as little as 1–2 days once the base and power supply are ready. Custom-built sauna rooms may take slightly longer depending on size and features such as decking, lighting or integrated showers.
