- How to Choose the Perfect Sauna
Choosing the right Muskoka sauna for your space requires considering a few important factors. Here are a few things to think about as you decide which model is right for you:
1. Size and Space
Start by measuring your outdoor space. Muskoka Sauna Co. offers a variety of sizes, from the more compact 6x8 barrel saunas to larger 7x12 models with extra features.
Think about how much room you have and how many people you want to accommodate. If you're tight on space, a smaller sauna might be the best choice.
2. Where You’ll Install It
Saunas need to be installed on a flat, solid surface like a concrete pad, deck, or gravel. Take some time to choose a spot that’s easy to access, has good airflow, and is safe from the elements.
Barrel saunas are especially flexible when it comes to uneven terrain, but it’s still important to find the best spot for your sauna to ensure it lasts.
3. Heating Options
Do you love the crackle of a wood-burning stove or prefer the simplicity of an electric heater?
Wood-burning stoves offer a rustic charm, while electric heaters are fuss-free and easy to control. Both create that signature, soothing heat Muskoka saunas are known for.
4. Why Choose a Cedar Sauna Kit?
Many of our saunas come as cedar sauna kits, which allow you to build the sauna yourself. This can be a great option if you love DIY projects.
All Muskoka saunas are made with 100% Canadian cedar, because cedar is naturally durable, resistant to weather, and smells amazing. It’s also a great insulator, helping your sauna stay warm while keeping the heat comfortable.
Health Benefits of a Muskoka Sauna
Investing in a Muskoka outdoor sauna isn’t just about luxury—it’s about living well. Here are some of the top health benefits:
1. Boosts Circulation
The heat from the sauna helps your blood circulate more efficiently, which can promote heart health and help muscles recover after exercise.
2. Detoxification
Sweating is a natural way for your body to get rid of toxins. Spending time in the sauna encourages sweating, helping your body flush out impurities and clean your skin.
3. Relieves Stress
The soothing heat and peaceful environment of a sauna are perfect for relieving stress. A few minutes in the sauna can calm your mind and help you unwind after a busy day.
4. Improves Sleep
Using the sauna before bed can help you relax and wind down, making it easier to fall asleep and get a good night’s rest.
