Golden Designs Karlstad 6-Person Hybrid Full Spectrum Infrared & Traditional Outdoor Sauna

The Golden Designs Karlstad combines a traditional sauna stove with a full spectrum infrared system in one six-person outdoor cabin. Use the stove when you want classic heat and steam from the rocks, or the infrared panels for warmth at a lower air temperature.

It suits a household or group that wants both styles of sauna without building two. Plan it as a permanent backyard installation with a dedicated electrical circuit.

A traditional sauna is built around the heater and stones: they warm the room, and a ladle of water on the hot rocks lifts a soft wave of steam, the Finnish löyly. Sessions are usually taken in rounds with a cool-down in between, so it is worth planning where you will rinse off, sit outside or rest between rounds.

An outdoor sauna becomes a small destination in the yard. Placing it close to a path, deck or patio keeps the walk short in cold or wet weather, and a little screening or planting around it helps it feel like its own retreat.
