The Loviisa
The Loviisa is a three-person outdoor sauna in a crisp flat-roof design, offered in Pacific Cedar, Two-Tone or Black to suit your house and garden. It's sized for a couple or a small family, and it brings two kinds of warmth to the backyard.
One switch chooses the evening. The 8 kW stove heats the stones to 170–185°F; pour a little water and a soft wave of steam fills the room — a classic Finnish sauna. Or turn to full-spectrum infrared — five PureTech™ Near Zero EMF carbon panels and six near-infrared elements — for a gentler 118–132°F that warms you directly while the air stays easy to breathe. The two run one at a time.
Inside, the walls and benches are natural Canadian red cedar. Look up and the ceiling glows with colored stars; a soft light shines behind the backrest; your music plays over Bluetooth through the built-in speakers. The clear glass door keeps the garden in view, and the sandglass, bucket and scoop are ready for stove nights.
Care is simple: plain water and a soft cloth inside, a water-repellent finish on the exterior wood from time to time. It needs a level concrete pad or wood deck and one 240V circuit, hardwired by a licensed electrician.

Before you buy
Where it can go
Where it can go
- Made for outdoors, with its own roof.
- The whole floor must sit completely level and well supported — a concrete pad or a wood deck. On bare ground, use concrete blocks or a similar base so the sauna doesn't settle.
- Keep the ventilation vent clear.
Power
Power
- One dedicated 240V / 40A circuit powers both the stove and the infrared.
- It must be hardwired by a certified electrician, with copper wire rated for 90°C — no aluminum wire, extension cords or adapters.
- We can connect you with a licensed local electrician.
Heat and sessions
Heat and sessions
- A main switch selects the heat: stove or infrared. They don't run at the same time.
- Stove: 170–185°F is the ideal range, up to 190°F. Infrared: 118–132°F, up to 140°F.
- Sandglass, bucket and scoop are included for the stove.
- After every 4 hours of use, let the sauna rest for 1 hour.
Assembly and care
Assembly and care
- At least two adults are needed to lift and set the wall panels.
- Seal the exterior wood with a water-repellent finish regularly; untreated cedar turns grey within 1–2 years without UV protection. Never stain the interior.
- Clean the inside with plain water and a soft cloth — no chemical cleaners. Care for the stove and stones per the stove maker's instructions.
Warranty and health note
Warranty and health note
- Golden Designs warranty: 5 years on the wood structure (when properly maintained), control panel, wiring harnesses and lights. The stove is covered by its manufacturer's warranty. Weather damage from a lack of maintenance is not covered.
- Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, have heart disease, high or low blood pressure, diabetes or circulation problems, take prescription medication or have surgical implants. Children should use the sauna only with close adult supervision.
- Saunas are not intended to treat or cure any disease.
