How it works

Pick a model, tweak the details, get a price — same day.

01

Design — your way

Two easy ways to start. Open the 3D builder right in your browser — no sign-up, no software — and shape your sauna as you watch: size, benches, glass, wood and heater, with the price updating live. Prefer a hand? Send us a photo, a sketch or just your room dimensions and our team will design it for you, free. Either way we build to your wall, your power supply and your space, and send a clear quote the same day.

02

Build

Approve the quote and a 50% deposit gets your build underway. Each sauna is hand-built to order in our own workshop, the way saunas are made in Finland — teak, pine and red cedar, kiln-dried, with food-safe finishes only. We keep you posted along the way, and the balance is only due once your sauna is ready to leave us.

03

Delivery & install

Delivered and installed nationwide. Our team levels and assembles it on site, wires the heater, and runs the first heat-up with you — so you know exactly how to use it before we leave. Prefer to handle setup yourself? Delivery-only is available too.

Ready to start? Design it yourself in minutes, or let us do it for you.

Real people, real workshop

Every sauna is built by hand — by our own team.

We are a small Thai–Finnish crew building out of our own workshop in Surin, with a showroom in Bang Saen. We cut, frame, clad and finish every cabin ourselves, then deliver and install it with you on-site. No middlemen, no drop-shipping — just people who love saunas building yours.

Inside our walls

The 100 mm wall: box steel, insulation, solid wood.

Every Sisu wall is a factory-built sandwich panel. A welded 50 mm box-steel skeleton carries the structure, insulation fills every cavity, a foil vapour barrier seals the hot side, and both faces are boarded with plywood and clad in real wood. Rigid, straight and insulated — built for Thai heat and humidity.

  • Box-steel frame — 50 × 50 mm
  • Insulation core — 50 mm
  • Plywood — 13 mm, both sides
  • Foil vapour barrier — on the hot side
  • Solid-wood cladding — 12 mm, both sides
  • 100 mm total — one panel is 1000 × 2090 mm

Design → Reality

What you design is exactly what we build.

The same 3D model you configure in the designer is the sauna we hand-build. Drag the handle to compare — or just watch it change.

Installation is assembly, not construction.

Your sauna arrives as finished panels and goes together in the same order as our real installation guide — from your level concrete pad to the first heat-up.

  • You A level concrete pad, ready before we arrive
  • You Mains power to the sauna by your licensed electrician — liability rules mean we can't connect the mains ourselves
  • Sisu Panels, roof, glass front and door — assembled by our own crew
  • Sisu Benches, heater, and the heater-to-control-box wiring
  • Sisu First heat-up together with you

Cold plunge, straight from your shower head.

A chiller plumbs into any shower head. Switch it on, wait about 20 minutes for the water to run ice-cold, then step under a fresh, flowing stream — no ice needed. It's far faster than an ice bath: no filling a tub, and no waiting 4–5 hours for the water to get cold.

  • Connects to any shower head
  • ~20 minutes to ice-cold water
  • No tub to fill, no 4–5 hour wait

How it works: mains water → chiller → any shower head → ice-cold.
