The portable, one-of-a-kind, Barrel Sauna is uniquely styled. Its design is very energy efficient. Unlike most conventional saunas with squared corners, the Barrel Sauna's cylindrical shape allows greater air exchange from top to bottom giving the sauna a great advantage over traditional square designs. The cylindrical design has 23% less cubic feet of area to heat up than standard wall-and-ceiling style saunas. This allows the sauna to heat up sooner, which in return lowers the costs of operating the sauna.

The wooden floor is another advantage of the Barrel Sauna. It is much easier to heat, allowing the lower areas to more easily maintain ideal operating temperatures. Compared to saunas built with a concrete floor, the Barrel Sauna distributes the heat and moisture more evenly throughout the sauna.

The bowed shape of the Barrel Sauna allows all the water in the sauna to flow naturally towards the center of the floor. Optionally installing a drain at this natural low point makes it easy to drain any excess water from the sauna into a collection system (bucket, septic system or sewer). This also allows for a shower or fresh water supply to be installed inside the sauna to make bathing, filling the water bucket, or cleaning the sauna easier.

The result is a classic and elegant aesthetically pleasing barrel-shaped sauna that offers years of enjoyment, a lifetime of health benefits and provides ultimate relaxation.
