Bespoke Luxury Saunas

Our sauna can be situated either inside the home or out all that’s needed is a level base to stand it on e.g. patio, concrete, decking, floorboards and a suitable electricity supply.

Saunas cost pence to run each day as unlike a swimming pool or hot tub you only pay for the time you are actually using them.

The health benefits of saunas are well known. They stimulate circulation and respiration, relax tired, aching muscles. They detoxify skin through perspiration resulting in a healthy complexion and the dry heat of the sauna relieves congestion.

Access is never a problem for either our hot tubs or saunas as we assemble both on site. Installation of either a hot tub or sauna generally takes one full day.

There is no definitive answer to this question, but there are a few points to keep in mind. The closer to the house the better, a hot tub right outside the door is very convenient-after all you don’t want to hike the bottom of the garden with the neighbours watching! Privacy and setting are most important. As part of our service we can advise on siting and design, just send us site dimensions and a photograph and we’ll suggest some ideas for your proposed site.

Another study has shown that regular sauna bathing leads to a reduction in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. This is very similar to the effect moderate exercise has on cholesterol levels in the human body. This doesn’t mean you should stop exercising, but it’s good to know that regular sauna use can be a good alternative.

Studies have shown that regular sauna use benefits cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of high blood pressure. This study claims that there is a link between more frequent sauna use and decreased risk of sudden cardiac arrest or fatal cardiovascular disease. Just as with moderate exercise, the heart has to work a bit harder while being in a sauna. This benefits cardiovascular health in the long term because the heart gradually becomes stronger.

The high temperature in a sauna obviously makes us sweat. The good thing about excessive sweating is that it opens up the pores and lets out toxins and other impurities. Sweating is actually a good thing, but due to our lifestyles, we typically don’t sweat enough. Regular sauna use can help change that.

The high temperature in saunas triggers the body to produce more white blood cells, and white blood cells help fight colds, influenza and other viruses. The steam that often occurs in a sauna can also help to clear the nose and lungs, which makes dealing with a cold a bit easier.

While some people enter a sauna or steam room purely for the heat sensation, others use a sauna session as a social gathering.

A sauna is in fact a great way to socialize and to have meaningful conversations. There are no distractions and no noise, it’s just you and your fellow sauna users.

A sauna session helps to improve blood circulation and increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that are delivered to your organs. And one of the most important organs in the human body is actually our skin. Sweating also rinses bacteria out of the skin, making it look softer and more rejuvenated.

A study conducted by the University of Eastern Finland has shown that regular sauna use can help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. According to this study, moderate to high frequency of sauna bathing was associated with lowered risks of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in men. The logic behind this is that sauna use improves blood circulation and increases blood flow to the brain.

Similar to how sauna use can relieve stress, using a sauna regularly can also help to make you sleep better. Higher levels of endorphins and a more relaxed mindset, will most likely have a positive impact on your sleep patterns.

As we all know, life can be pretty hectic, fast-paced and stressful. A sauna can help to relieve some of these stress symptoms in various ways.

The main reason someone would enter a sauna is to relax. So before entering a sauna, your mind would typically be focused on trying to unwind, and that’s a good starting point. Your mindset is right.

Similar to what happens when you exercise, sitting in a sauna releases endorphins in the body, due to the heat. Endorphins are “happy” chemicals that help to relieve pain and stress and can help make you feel better.
