Custom Indoor & Outdoor Sauna
Indoor Sauna & Wellness Space Consultation Process
Transforming an indoor space—whether it's a basement, back porch, or spare office—into a sauna or wellness retreat is a thoughtful process that starts with a solid plan. Here’s what to expect when you work with us:
1. Site Visit & Initial Consultation
We begin with an on-site visit to understand your vision and evaluate the space. We'll:
- Assess the area for size, layout, and accessibility
- Review electrical access and ventilation requirements
- Take detailed measurements
- Discuss your goals, preferences, and how you plan to use the space
- Talk through design inspirations, materials, and finishes
2. Design & Layout Planning
Based on the site visit, we’ll create a custom layout that works for your space and style. This includes:
- Floor plan and orientation of the sauna or wellness features (sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, etc.)
- Material selections (cedar, pine, aspen, spruce, etc.)
- Door and window placements
- Electrical layout and lighting
- Integration with existing HVAC or new ventilation solutions
3. Estimate & Timeline
We’ll provide you with a detailed estimate, including materials, labor, and any custom features. You’ll also receive a project timeline, outlining key phases and milestones.
4. Permits & Prep Work
If permits are needed (depending on your jurisdiction), we’ll guide you through that process or coordinate with your contractor. We'll also identify any prep work required—like clearing the space, electrical upgrades, or framing adjustments.
5. Build & Installation
Our team gets to work bringing the vision to life. This includes:
- Framing (if needed)
- Electrical and ventilation setup
- Sauna installation and sealing
- Finish work (benches, heaters, lighting, controls)
- Wellness space features (like cold plunge tubs, aromatherapy diffusers, etc.)
6. Final Walkthrough & Instructions
Once complete, we’ll do a final walkthrough together to ensure everything is perfect. We’ll show you how to use and maintain your sauna and wellness equipment, and answer any final questions.
7. Ongoing Support
We’re here for you even after the build. Whether it’s routine maintenance, upgrades, or accessories, we offer ongoing support to keep your wellness space in top shape.
THE REVIEWS
TESTIMONIALS
I was hesitant to buy a sauna online, but Portland Saunas exceeded my expectations. The build quality is amazing, and the instructions were super clear. I also got a wood-burning stove, and the heat it produces is next-level. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to Finland multiple times, and I can confidently say that this sauna gives me the same experience right at home. The Cube sauna is beautifully designed, and the HUUM heater provides the perfect soft heat. Love it!

From the moment I placed my order, the team at Portland Saunas was there to answer all my questions. My cedar hot tub arrived on time, and the quality is outstanding. Couldn’t be happier!

We’ve been dreaming of having a sauna for years, and Portland Saunas made it so easy! The craftsmanship is top-notch, the heat is perfect, and the entire process—from ordering to installation—was seamless. We use it almost every night, and it’s become our favorite way to unwind

I added a cold plunge to my sauna setup, and it’s been a life-changing addition. The contrast therapy makes me feel refreshed and energized. If you’re on the fence, just do it—you won’t regret it!
