The Essence of Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas rely on a heater to warm the air within an enclosed space, creating a dry heat environment that can reach temperatures of 150°F to 195°F (65°C to 90°C). This type of sauna uses heated stones, which can be sprinkled with water to produce bursts of steam, raising the humidity and intensifying the experience. This process, called "löyly" in Finnish culture, is central to the traditional sauna experience and provides both physical and mental rejuvenation.

Unlike modern infrared saunas, which heat the body directly, traditional saunas heat the surrounding air to immerse you in an all-encompassing warmth. This high-temperature environment promotes sweating, detoxification, and relaxation, offering benefits that have stood the test of time.

Tailored Designs for New York Spaces

At New York Custom Saunas, we understand that no two spaces or clients are the same, which is why every traditional sauna we design is completely customized. Whether you live in a Manhattan apartment with limited space or own a sprawling property in Queens, we create saunas that fit seamlessly into your environment.

Our design team works closely with you to select premium wood materials that match your style and enhance the sauna's durability. From the rich, aromatic cedar to the smooth elegance of hemlock or the bright appeal of spruce, our materials bring both beauty and longevity to your sauna. We also offer a range of layout options, ensuring your sauna maximizes space efficiency while providing optimal comfort for you and your guests.

Innovative Heater Choices

The heating system is the heart of every sauna, and we provide two distinct options for traditional saunas:

Electric Heaters:

Reliable, convenient, and precise, electric heaters are perfect for urban homes or commercial spaces in New York City. They allow you to control temperatures effortlessly, offering consistency and ease of use.

Wood-Burning Heaters:

For a truly authentic experience, wood-burning heaters create an atmosphere filled with the soothing crackle of flames and the natural aroma of burning wood. This option is ideal for outdoor saunas or clients seeking a rustic feel that harkens back to traditional sauna practices.

Both heating systems are chosen with your preferences and space considerations in mind, ensuring you achieve the perfect sauna ambiance.

Health Benefits of Traditional Saunas

The benefits of traditional saunas extend far beyond relaxation. The high temperatures and steam promote sweating, which helps your body flush out toxins and impurities, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Saunas also improve circulation, easing muscle tension and supporting cardiovascular health.

For athletes or individuals with active lifestyles, regular sauna sessions accelerate muscle recovery and relieve soreness, making them an essential post-workout ritual. Additionally, sauna use helps to cleanse pores and enhance skin health, giving your complexion a vibrant, refreshed appearance. The calming heat also promotes mental clarity and stress relief, making it a holistic solution for wellness.

Perfect for Residential and Commercial Settings

Traditional saunas are versatile enough to enhance both homes and businesses. For homeowners, a sauna provides a personal sanctuary for relaxation, whether you need a place to unwind after work or rejuvenate after exercise. For businesses such as spas, wellness centers, and gyms, traditional saunas are a valued amenity that attracts customers seeking premium experiences. Whatever your purpose, New York Custom Saunas delivers tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.
