Would you want a home sauna?

9 years ago

It’s no secret the Finns love their saunas, and these days many of us have followed suit - imagine a spa retreat without ever having to leave your house!

Do you have a sauna or is it on your wish list? Let us know!

I would love to have a sauna, but due to the limited space in my home, I think i might opt for a hot tub first...

I'm with Pav, but instead of that hot tub I just want a vintage free-standing claw-footed bathtub...Humble dreams

If you could build a house from scratch, what would you build?

I'd personally go for the modern home with a partial view of the woods! Floor to ceiling windows and geometric architecture. Of course, in this dream world, the house would be located where it could receive daily unobstructed sunlight and the it would be build with green technology. :)

Have you ever seen a steam room/ sauna on a yacht?
Q

I noticed this is an old post but it made me smile. I would personally rather have a wet bar, plunge pool, walk in humidor or champagne fountain. But a yatch is a home from home for many people so they must have what is important to them which may well be a sauna (especially if you originate from Finland).

Kalami in North East Corfu. Beautiful clear blue sea, bleached pebble beach dotted with driftwood overlooked by hills lined with ancient olive and pine trees. A couple of fabulous tavernas on the beach and a water taxi every evening to take you to one of the superb tavernas on the beach (literally) on Agni bay or Agios Stefanos. Grilled calamari, octopus stifado or king crab linguini eaten on a jetty overlooking the bay and the fishing boats - accompanied by a glass of excellent Corfiot wine. No large hotels, nightclubs or English pubs. Unspoilt just like the Greek islands used to be!

What a terrible question to have to consider- How could you ever choose??? Many say family photos - but you know what - if I lost mine it wouldn't matter too much because I can remember my life in pictures - I was there. We take so many photos on our phone and never look at them we need to try to think back more and remember. My cat? Well, he's not a possession - he chooses to live with us and we are his servants! I suppose it would have to be my first guitar I used professionally - a 1950/early 60s (?) Hofner Congress. Here - have a laugh, this is me in about 1978: The guitar lasted better than I did !

Although if space were not an issue, a really sleek sauna like this one would obviously not be unwelcome!

I would love a sauna if money was no object. I go to the sauna in the gym most days, I'm up to about 18 mins!

Have no interest in a sauna, am a hot person (meaning I don't feel the cold much but get hot easily) so wouldn't use it much. Would rather have a pool (or near the beach - even better) or a huge built in bath.

Used to live in a basic flat overlooking Sydney harbour in my 20s but we had a bath that was tiled like a mini pool so when it got really hot and humid in the evneings we would occasionally fill it with water and ice cubes and would fit about 6 of us in it so we would get in like a reverse hot-tube and drink cheap champers! Fun!

At different times I have enjoyed all the spa experiences, and would like a sauna at home if my health club didn't have one. I plan to stay with this club for a longgggg time so wouldn't even buy an outdoor kind [I looked it up online once and I think there is such a thing - oh wait didn't the Finns always have one OUT of doors?!!].

Claustrophobia. Anyway the spa experience is emerging from sauna and having someone waiting for you with towel, slippers and drink and escorting you to your massage table... hubby won't do that.

If you can manage to implement the sauna naturally in the bathroom I think it can work out in a great way:

Would love a sauna but don’t know how to fit it inor where.... what are the electrical requirements.? It would need to be indoors but somehow still have lots of Access to fresh cold air to cool down when we come out..

Bought one last week, finally. 🙂😁
Now trying to figure how to design and decorate bathroom. just have to drill a hole in base or side to bring electric power to stove. Indra red ones just plug into the wall but stoves need to be connected by electrician.

Definitely not! Too hot and claustrophobic. My partner has been building a sauna in his garden these last five years. I have already told him, when and if he ever finishes it, he is on his own!

I am afraid I don’t like hot tubs either. Nothing would compel me to get into one of those. I have always considered them to be dirty.

I have had one for many years and could not possibly live without it. The feeling of relaxation you get after a proper sauna session has no equal and the health benefits are proven. It is more economic to install one than you might think but you do need to have the space. Most hotel/gym saunas are not hot enough so you simply end up feeling clammy rather than reinvigorated in the way that a real sauna makes you feel. Personally I hate hot tubs and find them unhygienic but saunas are wonderful.

Hi Finn. The sauna is in our bathroom which admittedly is a large room. It is glass fronted on one side and the other exposed wall was plaster boarded and tiled to help it look integrated within the room. When we had it installed 5 years ago, people told us we’d never use it and it was a waste of space and money. We actually use it three or four times a week and think it was a great investment

That's fab. i didn't realise you could cover the side panels. I'd have the scope for that too 🤔. Thanks for replying
