Besides their stunning wooden design, Saunas are a fantastic way of detoxifying the whole body through the perspiration process, helping to remove waste from the body and skin. This can improve overall health by enhancing blood circulation which can reduce joint stiffness and may relieve other conditions caused by poor circulation. Saunas are know for relieving stress and tension, as well as, rejuvenating skin cells leaving you feeling relaxed and looking youthful and refreshed.

Infrared Goes Outdoors

Engineered exclusively for the outdoors, our sauna features weatherproof construction, bitumen roofing tiles, and an 8mm toughened glass. Embrace nature without compromising comfort—our design seamlessly marries rugged durability with the serenity of cutting-edge infrared technology.
Versatile Layout
The twin bench seats are perfect for accommodating 4 adults (or even a cozy 6 if you’re all mates). Alternatively, if it’s just two of you, feel free to stretch out on a bench seat each for some extra room.
Tempered Glass Door
With tempered glass, you can be sure that your door won’t shatter or break in high temperatures, or when you’re opening and closing it.
Our Full Spectrum Heaters
These heaters are unique by offering near, mid and far infrared technology from one source, allowing the heat to really penetrate deep into your body.
Near Infrared
Near infrared (NIR) is the shortest infrared wavelength. NIR promotes skin renewal, cell health, wound healing and tissue growth.
Mid Infrared
Mid infrared (MIR) is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue to aid inflammation.
Far Infrared
The longest wavelength, far infrared (FIR), reaches deepest into the body where toxins are stored.
Optimised Heating
Infrared saunas work by heating your body directly, through safe wavelengths of light that are felt as heat. This light penetrates our bodies deeper than the heat of a traditional sauna. This means your infrared sauna does not need to be as hot as a traditional dry sauna, because the heat is directed more efficiently. This allows you to achieve a deep sweat at a much lower temperature and stay in the sauna for longer per session. When setting up your infrared sauna it’s important to consider the ambient temperature of the room in which your sauna will live, as this will dictate how hot your sauna can get.
Our Nano Carbon Heaters
Our efficient carbon heater have been carefully engineered to provide a constant high heat with even distribution – making sure there’s no hot spots.
With these heaters on the back, sides and under the legs, you can be sure that your whole body will be heated to make sure you get the most out of your sauna.
Why Choose Cedar Over Other Materials?
We strictly use FSC Certified Rustic Cedar for our range of Outdoor Saunas due to their long list of appealing properties. Not only does our Cedar look better in your backyard, it carries a range of natural resistances and benefits that make your choice of timber an easy one.
A Natural Insulator
Cedar’s insulative properties significantly outweigh those of other materials which results in a Sauna that heats up faster and more efficient in retaining heat. Spend less time cranking up your heaters and more time relaxing.
Which Wood Lasts Longer?
Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and decay, making it perfect for saunas. Unlike other timbers that absorb moisture and warp, cedar maintains its integrity. Its natural oils also have antimicrobial properties, helping prevent decay and deter pests. These qualities make cedar the ideal choice for an outdoor sauna that will withstand the elements for years.
The Cedar Experience
The natural scent of warmed wood can be an enticing feature for Sauna users. Cedar offers a distinctive and pleasant aroma which many Sauna enthusiasts appreciate, while other materials such as pine often release a resin type odor when heated. Our cedar also contributes to natural air purification due to Cedar’s inherent antimicrobial properties.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
NZ’s leading athletes and sports specialists use Alpine Saunas to take their performance and recovery to the next level.
Jane Watson
Elite Netballer, Jane Watson, believes regular sauna use is a game changer when it comes to physical recovery as well as total relaxation.
“My training is frequent and can get very full-on. I really notice the difference if I have a particularly hard training day and skip my sauna session afterward, I’m definitely more fatigued the next day, says Watson.
Dave Wood
Dave Wood is a movement and breathing specialist who works with elite Kiwi athletes to enhance their recovery, endurance, and ability to remain calm under pressure.
Through his training of top athletes, he’s found regular sauna use to improve cardiovascular health, improve brain function, and provide mental resilience as well as stress management.
Wood says after you begin sweating in the sauna, your cardiovascular system engages, and the heart rate rises to facilitate expanded blood vessels. “At this stage of your sauna session, the body begins to harvest all of the benefits of actual exercise except you are passively sitting in relaxation,” says Wood.
Muscle Recovery
Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster.
Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
Radiant heat therapy is used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. In addition, it has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.

Frequently asked questions
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE INFRARED BARREL SAUNA
What are the benefits of an Alpine Sauna?
Infrared vs traditional saunas – what’s the difference?
Traditional saunas use a stove to heat the air. As the temperature of the air increases around you, the temperature of your body increases as well due to absorption by heat convection. This causes your body to start the cooling process by transporting blood closer to the surface of the skin and opening pores through sweating.
Infrared saunas also heat the surrounding air but to a lesser degree. Instead, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit a specific wavelength of infrared light. Your skin absorbs this wavelength, causing your body’s temperature to rise. This elicits the same effects as a traditional sauna with less overall heat needed.
Can I assemble this Sauna myself?
Yes, we provide comprehensive manuals alongside several videos to explain how to assemble the Sauna in a step-by-step basis. However, we do advise organising the help of a builder or expert handyman, as this Sauna assembly can be a big job for casual DIYers.
How hot will my sauna get?
One of the main differences between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the heat involved while inside the unit.
Traditional dry saunas average temperature is 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, with some models reaching as high as 90 degrees Celsius.
Infrared saunas use a much milder temperature environment of between 45 to 65 degrees Celsius. However, because the heat of infrared saunas travels much deeper into the body, they can cause a more vigorous sweat at lower temperature.
Sauna running costs
Another difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the amount of power required to operate each unit.
Traditional saunas require more overall power to run. Our traditional saunas have either a 6kw heater (Barrel) or a 9kw heater (Hut). Our infrared saunas have either a 1.5kw heater (Oslo) or a 2.4kw heater (Copenhagen).
This means that a traditional sauna is more expensive to run than an infrared sauna. This can make a difference, depending on how often you use the unit.
