What are garden sauna cabins?
A garden sauna cabin is a building meant to provide the conditions needed to enjoy steamy sauna sessions, including materials that are able to withstand high temperatures, and so on. The tradition (and the word “sauna”) comes from Finland – the first saunas involved pouring water on heated stones and letting the steam heat the dwelling. Sauna cabins work because both the heat and humidity can be controlled – for example, if both of them were high, the time inside would feel unbearable, but because the humidity is kept low during a sauna session, the heat is tolerable (even healthy). The structures on Quick-garden.co.uk reach the humidity of 80-100%, but the heat cannot exceed 80°C (the optimal temperature is 70°C) to keep the balance. If you’re looking to get the biggest health benefits, it’s recommended to enjoy this experience from 4 to 7 times per week.
Buying a garden sauna cabin from Quick-garden.co.uk
The good news is that a sauna cabin will not break your bank – we offer plenty of affordable models to choose from, especially when it comes to smaller sizes. It would be easier to start your search by deciding which amenities you would like to have next to the sauna room (if any), how many people would regularly hit the steam, and whether you imagine a modern or traditional style building in your garden. Once you have this figured out, you can check out our classic ELDA models or the modern DELLAs – or both!
Traditional ELDA garden sauna cabins feature a symmetrical apex roof, and a glass door for a view of the garden – these models range from 4 m² to 37 m², so there’s a good selection of sizes and additional amenities. DELLA models sport modern vertical cladding, flat roofs, and an overall minimalistic look. You can also take your pick from compact, practical structures and large sauna cabins with spaces to rest, lounge, and clean up.
Important decisions when choosing among a variety of garden sauna cabins
To make the sauna sessions as enjoyable as possible, our sauna cabins come in many different versions. Of course, you can still pick the structure that has only the sauna room and takes up the least amount of space – ELDA and DELLA come in small sizes too. If you’d like to check them out for reference before diving into the bigger models, here are the most basic ELDA and DELLA sauna cabins.
A worthy addition: a sauna cabin with a changing room
If you’d like to change and prepare for the sauna in comfort, we recommend including a sauna cabin with a changing room in your list of possible purchases. For example, this ELDA structure takes up only 8 m², but it offers a changing room with 2 benches to freshen up. Alternatively, the modern DELLA version has a smaller yet brighter changing room with a nearly floor-to-ceiling window on most of its walls.
A garden sauna cabin with a shower for comfort and convenience
You’ll find that our selection includes sauna cabins with dedicated shower spaces. Placing a shower would make use of the room next to the sauna the best way possible, since good hygiene would help maintain your health and the structure’s condition. A quick shower prevents the spread of bacteria to the sauna room, and a rinse only takes a few minutes. Our garden sauna cabins with a shower include the traditional ELDA and modern DELLA models.
A lovely garden sauna cabin with a terrace
Have more room in your garden that can be filled with a spot for lounging, relaxing after the sauna, dining, and more? We recommend considering a few bigger garden sauna cabins with terraces in our assortment that have these extra indoor and outdoor spaces for more value and decor options. For example, if the area in your garden is under 20 m² , this DELLA would be perfect – you could enjoy a spacious terrace, plus a cosy lounging room and a few rows of benches in the sauna. The facade has an inviting look to it, as the terrace is covered yet easily accessible. A larger model to check out would be this ELDA featuring a 12 m² terrace, a large lounging room, a changing room, and a sauna. Please note that you can also choose a version with a dedicated bathroom space. Overall, the structure stuns with its intricate details, sense of quaintness, and multiple windows.
An insulated garden sauna cabin for preserving the warmth
One of the best investments you can make can be found in the extra feature list below each ELDA garden sauna cabin – we offer an option to insulate the sauna room with high-quality materials. Since the heating and cooling processes of the sauna are crucial for its functionality, the insulation would definitely help by making the structure heat up quicker and retain the temperature, plus it would be protected from moisture from the outside. As for the DELLA models, they have space to place insulation in between the conifer layers, but in this case, the whole structure can be thoroughly insulated. The bottom line is that an insulated garden sauna cabin is easier to enjoy and maintain!
Choosing a sauna cabin with a heater for a smooth start
The sauna cabins at Quick-garden.co.uk have dedicated places for heating devices, so ordering one alongside your order makes sense in terms of convenience and speed. Whether you’re looking for a sauna cabin with a wood burner or one with an electric heater, you can check out both offers on our website, just please be aware that DELLA models come with the electric heater option only – the log burner doesn’t match the model neither stylistically nor technically. However, if you prefer ELDA, there’s a choice to make.
A sauna cabin with a wood burner (in this case, the Harvia M3) is well suited for anyone interested in the more traditional ways of heating up the sauna room and then enjoying the view of the burning logs later. Basically, a wood burner takes a while to heat up, and then the process has to be supervised, as more logs might need to be added during the sauna session. If you’d like the additional functionality of being able to open the heater from outside of the sauna, check out the Harvia M3 SL model too. A garden sauna cabin with an electric heater would save you a lot of time because you only need to push a few buttons for it to start heating up. The other side of the coin is that you will not save on electricity like you would by using the wood burner, and you will not have the opportunity to be immersed in the process from the start.
The perks of a log sauna cabin
Both ELDA and DELLA are log sauna cabins, which is a construction type that uses natural conifer as its building block. The contemporary DELLA models also have an additional layer of cladding, which provides a sleek look and space for placing insulation between the layers, if you wish so. The biggest benefit of a log sauna cabin is the smooth exterior and interior finish that the structure provides. Of course, the natural aroma of the conifer will definitely add to the experience! The assembly is also nothing to be concerned about – you can assemble the garden sauna cabin yourself by following the assembly instructions that include numbered parts and clear step-by-step directions or order our assembly service. If you value your time and dislike DIY projects, this could be a great alternative.
