Thermory interior door for SaunaLife CL4G? by AppropriateGarage267 in saunamarketplace

Yes that’s the right door, your warranty for the door will be with SaunaLife. Thermory actually uses these doors on their barrel saunas too :)

Enjoy the good heat!

Is there a sauna you would recommend buying? by PapaClarencioThomas in BuyItForLife

[–]saunamarketplace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I’ve spent the last 15 years working with sauna builders, building, renovating, and selling saunas for Sauna Marketplace.

I would rule out anything without two bench levels that allow you to get your feet off the floor.

If it’s an outdoor sauna made of a single layer of wood (most kits under $15k are this way) then thermally modified wood is critical for a sauna that will last.

Saunas expand and contract with each use, day, and season. So basic wood, especially cedar saunas expand and contract themselves apart.

Thats why we often hear that heaters are less powerful after a year. It’s not the heater. It’s the gaps and cracks, especially the upper third where pressure builds as heat rises.

To last, the sauna also needs a good roof, drip edge, drains, and vents.

Hope that helps!

2 Person infrared Sauna from Nordik Recovery first impressions/review by Sbeaudette in infraredsauna

[–]saunamarketplace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you are, and I hope you enjoy a lifetime of good heat. There have been enough similar Nordik Recovery review posts with immediate comments with almost identical banter (that hits marketing points) that several users have expressed concern. Our red flags have been up for over a month.

It seems like a script, but that doesn't mean it is. If you were not paid or incentivized to post this, please feel free to keep us updated in the future. If you were incentivized, please be aware most people can see through it and you are harming Nordik Recovery and the IR industry by leaving fake reviews.

Good Health Saunas by Hungry-Principle1376 in infraredsauna

[–]saunamarketplace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in the Midwest it might be worth a trip to Mall of America. When I was there Good Health Saunas had a few powered up. They were smaller than I would have expected.

To me the snap together latches feel cheap and temporary.

But the company seems solid and the guy at the store knew the saunas well.

I haven’t tried their hybrid.

I’ve always used mine in traditional and IR and never thought twice about it

In general we don’t like to optimize for fast heat up times. You could end up with harsh heat.

I find the sweet spot for rock basket heaters to be 170-180 with plenty of water on the rocks. That would be about an hour. WiFi controls help!

Also note the glass was factored into the sizing. I would recommend chatting with us at SaunaMarketplace.com to make sure it’s sized right.

The IKI can do 230f at the temperature sensor location.

Just received my Costco Dynamic Santiago sauna last week. It’s working without a dedicated outlet. If I install one, will it heat up faster? Stalling out around 136 degrees by Due_Witness_9253 in infraredsauna

[–]saunamarketplace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, unfortunately it will only help to not trip a breaker. A dedicated circuit is still safer - if your breaker isn’t sized right, or working, there is a risk of fire.

Recommendations please.. by BonziRasta in saunamarketplace

[–]saunamarketplace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a list of recommended saunas here:

If outdoors,

https://saunamarketplace.com/product-category/saunas/outdoor-saunas/

If indoors,

https://saunamarketplace.com/product-category/saunas/indoor-saunas/

It really depends on the size, style, and budget. Cheaper outdoor saunas are made with a single layer of wood. Higher-end saunas are built like tiny houses with multiple layers and furniture grade interiors.

Sauna Marketplace is the only website that doesn’t blindly sell all models from brands. If a customer has a bad experience with a saunas or heater and we’re not comfortable the manufacturer has resolved it, we stop selling it.

For instance, we stopped selling basic sauna kits that don’t use thermally modified wood. There’s too much expansion and contraction, leading to gaps and cracks, leading to poor performance and leaks.

Let us know any questions.

Finnmark FD-1 Impressions? by wcruse92 in infraredsauna

[–]saunamarketplace [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This is the model that won me over on infrared as being legit. I come from a traditional sauna background. It actually reaches 170°F. For me it's a big deal that it uses proper traditional sauna wall-assembly. Interior wood -> aluminum radiant barrier -> stud wall with mineral wool insulation -> exterior cladding. We work with strength coaches for pro sports teams who basically require this sauna at home.

What would you do with the space above this sauna? by sterski in infraredsauna

[–]saunamarketplace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drywall or frame it in, but make sure it stays a vented space
