Canterbury winters are proper winters, and a sauna is the best answer we know to a frosty Christchurch evening.
We've built and serviced saunas in Christchurch for homes, health clinics and the council, and we have our own team member based in the South Island. So you get local knowledge, backed by our Auckland workshop.
Christchurch homes often have the space for something special: a standalone outdoor sauna, a sauna in the garage, or a sauna and steam room together. Out on a lifestyle block, a wood-fired sauna is hard to beat.
Saunas, steam rooms and hybrids.
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 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.
Made for a cold climate.
A sauna in a cold climate needs to heat up quickly and hold its heat. That comes down to the right-sized heater, good insulation and a real vapour barrier, not just nice timber.
Heaters that are too small for the room are one of the most common problems we see. We size every heater to the room volume, allowing extra for any glass, stone or tile.

Servicing, repairs and upgrades.
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.
