1. General Questions

What is a sauna?

A sauna is a dedicated space designed for heat therapy and relaxation. Depending on the type, saunas may use electric heaters, infrared technology, or traditional heating systems to create a warm environment that promotes relaxation and sweating.

What types of saunas does NorveLiving offer?

NorveLiving offers a range of premium sauna solutions, including:

Traditional indoor saunas
Infrared saunas
Outdoor saunas
Hybrid sauna models
Custom sauna solutions

Our designs combine modern technology, quality materials, and thoughtful craftsmanship to create a comfortable home wellness experience.

Why choose an outdoor sauna instead of an indoor sauna?

Outdoor saunas provide a private wellness retreat that allows you to enjoy nature and create a dedicated relaxation space outside your home.

Indoor saunas offer convenient access, year-round comfort, and easy integration into your existing living space.

The best choice depends on your available space, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

2. Purchase & Installation

How do I choose the right sauna size?

The ideal sauna size depends on:

The number of people using the sauna at the same time
Available installation space
Clearance and ventilation requirements

Small saunas are suitable for 1–2 people, while larger models provide additional space for families or social use.

If you are unsure which size is right for your space, our team can help recommend the best option.

What are the electrical requirements for a sauna?

Electrical requirements vary depending on the sauna model.

Traditional sauna heaters typically require a dedicated electrical circuit
Infrared saunas may operate with lower power requirements depending on the model

Always check the product specifications and consult a licensed electrician before installation.

Can I install my sauna outdoors?

Yes. NorveLiving outdoor sauna models are designed for outdoor environments.

Outdoor installation requires:

A stable, level foundation
Proper drainage
Adequate weather protection
Sufficient clearance around the sauna

Please review the installation requirements before preparing your installation location.

Do I need a floor drain in my sauna?

For most residential saunas, a floor drain is not required.

However, drainage may be beneficial for certain installations, especially commercial applications or traditional sauna setups where water may be used on sauna stones.

3. Sauna Usage & Session Guidelines

What temperature should I set my sauna to?

Temperature preferences vary by sauna type and personal comfort.

Traditional saunas typically operate at higher temperatures, while infrared saunas generally use lower temperatures because heat is delivered directly to the body.

Always start at a comfortable temperature and adjust based on your experience.

How long should a sauna session last?

For beginners, we recommend starting with approximately:

10–20 minutes per session

After your session:

Cool down gradually
Drink water
Rest before another session

Listen to your body and adjust session length according to your comfort level.

How often should I use a sauna?

Many users enjoy sauna sessions several times per week.

Frequency depends on your personal preferences, health condition, and comfort level. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns.

What should I wear during a sauna session?

Many users wear:

A towel
Comfortable loose clothing
A swimsuit

Before using the sauna:

Drink water
Shower to remove oils and dirt
Dry yourself before entering

After use:

Cool down
Rehydrate
Allow your body to rest

4. Health & Safety

Are saunas safe for everyone?

Saunas are generally safe for most healthy adults when used properly.

However, please consult your physician before using a sauna if you:

Have heart conditions
Have blood pressure concerns
Are pregnant
Take medications affected by heat exposure
Have other medical concerns

Can children use a sauna?

Children may use a sauna only under adult supervision.

Because children regulate body temperature differently than adults:

Use shorter sessions
Maintain lower temperatures
Allow frequent breaks

Can sauna use cause dehydration or overheating?

Yes. Sauna sessions increase sweating and body temperature, which may lead to dehydration or overheating.

To use your sauna safely:

Drink enough water before and after use
Avoid alcohol before sauna sessions
Leave the sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, uncomfortable, or unwell

Can I use a sauna when I have a cold or illness?

We recommend avoiding sauna use if you have:

Fever
Active infection
Severe fatigue
Feeling generally unwell

Rest and recovery should take priority during illness.

Wipe benches and surfaces with a clean damp cloth
Use mild cleaning products when needed
Allow the sauna to air dry after use
Keep ventilation areas clear

Avoid:

Harsh chemicals
Painting or varnishing interior sauna wood
Excess moisture buildup

What type of wood is used in saunas?

Common sauna woods include:

Western Red Cedar
Hemlock

These woods are selected for their durability, comfort, appearance, and ability to perform well in high-temperature environments.

How long does a sauna heater last?
