1 Person Compact Cube Sauna Room

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this ultra-compact model best suited for?

This is our ideal solution for solo wellness enthusiasts, couples, or anyone with limited space. Ideal for urban apartments, small balconies, spare bathrooms, or tiny gardens where every centimetre matters. It’s also excellent as a dedicated personal wellness space for individuals prioritising daily sauna practice. The intimate 1-2 person capacity creates an authentic, traditional Finnish sauna atmosphere with faster heating and efficient operation.

Is this comfortable for 2 people?

Yes, two people can sit comfortably side by side on the bench. The compact size actually enhances the intimate sauna experience – you’re close to your partner and the heat is efficiently distributed. Solo sessions feel luxuriously spacious with room to stretch out and relax. The 1-2 person capacity creates a more traditional, authentic Finnish sauna atmosphere with faster heating and lower running costs.

Is this suitable for apartment balconies?

Yes! The ultra-compact 1200mm × 1200mm footprint fits most apartment balconies. At 350-450kg, it’s our lightest model. Always consult a structural engineer to verify that your balcony can safely support the weight. Electric heaters are strongly recommended for balcony installations. Ensure proper drainage and waterproofing beneath the sauna to prevent moisture accumulation. Many apartments in Bangkok and Pattaya successfully accommodate this model.

What are the main advantages of the smallest size?

The 1200mm model offers the fastest heating time (25-35 minutes), the lowest running costs (250-400 baht/month for electricity), the smallest footprint, and the most affordable price point in our range. It fits spaces impossible for larger models – tiny balconies, bathroom corners, narrow side yards, or spare closets. Perfect for renters or those uncertain about a long-term commitment to larger installations.

What’s the difference between hemlock and spliced red cedar?

Hemlock is a light-coloured, cost-effective softwood with excellent insulation properties and minimal scent. Spliced red cedar offers a premium appearance with a rich, reddish-brown colour, a distinctive aromatic scent, and superior natural rot resistance. Both woods perform excellently in Thailand’s climate – the choice depends on your aesthetic preferences and budget.

Can this be installed in a bathroom?

Yes, with proper planning. Ensure adequate ventilation (via an exhaust fan or window), waterproof flooring protection, sufficient clearance for ceiling height, and electrical compliance. Electric heaters are required for bathroom installations. Many customers successfully install this model in larger master bathrooms or dedicated spa bathrooms. Consult building professionals for proper moisture management and ventilation.

What’s the decorative board trim?

The decorative board trim is finished timber edging applied around all corners and edges of the sauna, providing a polished, professional appearance. It protects edges from wear, conceals joints, and gives the cube a refined aesthetic that looks attractive in any setting – especially important for visible indoor or balcony installations, where aesthetics are crucial.

Is this suitable for outdoor use in Thailand?

Yes, this cube sauna is designed for outdoor installation in tropical climates. Both hemlock and spliced red cedar naturally resist rot, decay, and insects. The waterproof asphalt roof shingles protect against heavy rain, while the 38mm thick walls provide excellent insulation. The elevated design of the support cradles ensures ventilation underneath. However, its ultra-compact size makes it especially ideal for indoor use where space is limited.

How long does assembly take?

With 2 people working together, assembly typically takes just 1 day due to the compact size. Components are pre-cut, and many sections come pre-assembled. This is our quickest model to assemble. Wood-burning installations take slightly longer due to the setup of the chimney. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included. Basic hand tools are all that’s required.

What is the base or foundation I need?

For outdoor installation, the sauna requires a level, stable surface that can support a weight of 400-600kg when occupied. Recommended options include concrete pads, paving stones, or reinforced timber decking. For indoor or balcony installation, ensure the flooring can support the weight (consult a structural engineer). The surface should allow at least 25cm clearance on all sides for ventilation and access – easier to achieve with this compact model.

What are the running costs?

Electric heaters in this ultra-compact model typically cost just 250-400 baht per month for regular use (3-4 sessions weekly) – our most economical option due to its fast heating and compact size. Wood-burning stoves require the purchase of firewood (approximately 100-250 baht per session). Annual maintenance is minimal. This is the most cost-efficient sauna in our range.

How long does delivery take to my location?

Standard delivery timeframe is 2-3 weeks from order confirmation for most locations throughout Thailand. Remote areas may require additional time. We’ll confirm your specific delivery schedule during the ordering process and provide tracking information once your sauna ships.

Can I upgrade to a larger model later?

While saunas cannot be physically expanded, this compact model makes an excellent entry point into sauna ownership. Many customers start with this size to establish their sauna practice, then add a larger model later while keeping the compact one for personal use or relocating it. The investment isn’t lost – it becomes your dedicated personal retreat.
