Wellington knows about weather. After a southerly, there's nothing better than coming home to a hot sauna.
We've been building saunas here since 2017: private saunas in Island Bay and Crofton Downs and a sauna and steam room for a central Wellington project. We've also supplied heaters, stones and parts to homes and businesses from Waikanae and Porirua to Lower Hutt, Petone and Martinborough, and to the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre in Kilbirnie.
Wellington sections can be tricky: steep, tight and windy. That's where a custom build earns its keep. A sauna can go into a garage, spare room or bathroom, or onto a deck or terrace, designed around what your section allows.
Saunas, steam rooms and hybrids for Wellington homes.
Every room we build is designed for its space. That might be a standalone outdoor sauna, a sauna in the pool house, a corner of the garage, or a compact sauna built into joinery. We also build steam rooms and hybrid saunas with a traditional heater and infrared together, and wood-fired saunas where there's no power to spare.
Benches are made and test-fitted in our Auckland workshop, then the room is built on site with Finnish and Estonian sauna timber and Harvia and Narvi heaters we import ourselves. Behind the walls it's the same every time: proper insulation, a real vapour barrier, heat-rated cable and good ventilation.
Built for the capital's weather.
Wind and rain are hard on an outdoor sauna. A solid structure, good insulation, a real vapour barrier and careful detailing around doors and roofs keep the weather out and the heat in.
Indoors, ventilation matters just as much: a well-ventilated sauna heats evenly, feels fresher and dries out properly afterwards, which is what keeps the timber sound for decades.
Benches are made and test-fitted in our Auckland workshop, then the room is built on site by our own team.
Sauna servicing and repairs in Wellington.
We service saunas whether we built them or not: worn-out stones, tired benches, heaters that take forever to heat, poor ventilation and smells. A new heater or a set of fresh benches can make an old sauna feel new again.
Hayden looks after the lower half of the North Island, including Wellington, so you'll be dealing with someone who knows the region. Meet the team.
