Why Well Sauna?

From Layout to Ladle Splash

Size Matters

With square footage being limited for most people Well Sauna’s stretch that little space you have into a lot with our small-scale builds. Where they might lack in grandeur they make up for it with efficiency and that real sauna feeling.

Heating up a Well Sauna happens in less time and requires less of your hydro panel. While it’s fun to bathe as a group,  daily use is more commonly done alone or with a partner and these saunas are fit to that task.

Draining

A key detail that makes a Well Sauna perform that much better lies right under your feet. It’s crazy to think that a sauna would be built without a draining floor. A real Finnish sauna gets you really sweaty which leaves the benches, walls and floors in need of a bucket splash, quick hose down and a regular deep scrub. Our saunas send all those worries down the drain where they belong. It’s the Finnish way to get it all right out in the open and clear the air (and the floor) for everyones benefit. This also gives you the ability to bucket wash while in the sauna resulting in the cleanest version of yourself.

Well Designed

We have taken into consideration the essence of the sauna experience and have begun crafting units which both promote a relaxed posture, provide ample seating space and make best use of their tiny footprint. At first glance the subtle inclination of the back wall is an ergonomic must which we are proud to have brought to the table knowing full well that in a sauna just 5 degrees less can be the difference. WIth aesthetics in mind Well Saunas can be finished to match your homes exterior truly blending into your existing space.

Well Built

Our “Two-Butt” saunas are built on a table and not out in the elements. Every step of our process requires accurate cutting dimensions and quality control one build after the next. The walls are assembled indoors in a clean and dry environment which shows in the end result. The materials are all sourced locally and carefully crafted with our name on each and every build delivery here on Vancouver Island. We sauna everyday and are mindful of the many details that would drive us crazy so rest assured that your build will be ready to enjoy from the get go.

Well Sealed

Here on the West Coast of Canada the climate is relentless. Our outdoor sauna’s are prepared to contend with the upcoming forecast and give you years of uninterrupted use without degrading any waterproofing integrity or air tightness. On the inside precious steam particles search for any gap to escape minimizing heat.  Vancouver Island weather tests every rooftop and our steel roofing is able to fend off the elements. Well Saunas offer full protection throughout the entire building envelope.

Convenience

Our free standing saunas are deliverable to your property in the Comox Valley and beyond. You may have the perfect spot in your back patio in mind or another space which suit your needs for privacy and easy access. They show up built and ready to wire in to your homes power supply. Where delivery of a turn-key unit isn’t possible we will assemble and finish on-site. Speaking of electrical we work with trusted local professionals who are available on request.

Local Character

Quite quickly a sauna becomes an extension of your home and identity. In keeping with this personal connection we craft locally salvaged driftwood door handles to make your building that much more unique. If you’re feeling creative we welcome you to find your own heat friendly handle to add to your purchase. On Vancouver Island we are also blessed with miles of shoreline that provide us with high grade sauna stones which complement our heat cycling so well.
