Custom Traditional Saunas.
Designed by Specialists.
Built Right the First Time.
We design your sauna, supply every material, and ensure it's installed properly — so you can enjoy it without worrying about a single detail.
You Want a Sauna. Now What?
You've decided you want a custom sauna in your home. But now you're stuck. Who designs it? Where do you get the materials? Will your contractor even know how to build one?
Most builders have never constructed a sauna. The ones who have often guess at ventilation, heater sizing, and wood selection — details that make or break the experience. And most homeowners end up piecing together advice from forums, random suppliers, and contractors who are learning on their dime.
It doesn't have to be that hard. East Coast Saunas handles everything that makes sauna projects go wrong — so yours goes right.

We Design & Supply Everything
We create a custom CAD design for your sauna and ship all premium materials directly to your home — wood, heater, door, lighting, hardware, and accessories. Everything.
The Contractor Builds It
A qualified contractor follows our step-by-step plans and CAD drawings. We provide support throughout the build to make sure every detail is right. You enjoy the sauna.
The Complete Sauna Package
Everything needed for the sauna portion of the build — nothing left for you to source, guess, or figure out.
Custom CAD Design
A detailed design of your sauna space — bench layout, depths, heights, vent locations, heater placement — tailored to your exact room.
Premium Wood & Materials
All sauna-grade wood, bench and backrest materials, duckboard, and tongue-and-groove cladding — selected for quality and durability.
Heater & Accessories
Sauna heater, pre-hung sauna door, LED lighting kit, sand timer, bucket and ladle — everything curated and included.
Vapor Barrier & Hardware
Foil vapor barrier, foil tape, and all stainless steel hardware — the details most people forget that make or break a sauna.
Step-by-Step Build Plans
Clear, illustrated instructions your contractor can follow from framing to finishing — even if they've never built a sauna before.
Live Specialist Support
One of our sauna specialists is available throughout the entire build for questions, guidance, and quality assurance. We're a phone call away.
We Do One Thing. And We Do It Right.

Our Work
View Full Portfolio →
A sauna is more than a room. It's a place to put down your phone, sit with the people you love, and be present. Everything we build is rooted in Nordic tradition — simplicity, purity, and real heat. No infrared. No gimmicks. Just the real thing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. If you have a contractor or builder you already work with, we provide them with everything they need — CAD design, materials, and step-by-step build plans. If you don't have one, we can help connect you with a qualified installer in your area through our contractor network.
Yes. Our build plans are step-by-step and our CAD drawings specify every detail — bench depths, vent placement, heater positioning, clearances. If your contractor can build a high-end bathroom or do finish carpentry, they can build a sauna with our plans. We're also available throughout the entire build for questions.
Everything needed for the sauna portion of the build: premium wood (multiple species available), sauna heater, pre-hung sauna door, bench and backrest and duckboard materials, accessories (sand timer, bucket and ladle), LED lighting kit, foil vapor barrier and foil tape, and all hardware. Plus a custom CAD design, step-by-step install guide, live specialist support, and delivery to your home in a palletized crate.
Once we have your project details, we deliver a rough CAD within one week for your review. The step-by-step building guide is sent immediately upon payment. Materials typically arrive within four weeks, and the finalized CAD arrives before the materials so your contractor is ready from day one. Most sauna builds are completed in three to five days.
Yes. We ship materials anywhere in the country, directly to your home or job site. Our design and support process works entirely remotely.
Everything we do is inspired by Nordic culture — simplicity, purity, and reconnecting with nature. Infrared units are not true saunas. The landmark studies demonstrating sauna's cardiovascular benefits and significant reductions in all-cause mortality were conducted on traditional Nordic saunas operating above 176°F. That's the standard we build to. Beyond that, infrared panels pose unknown risks of prolonged EMF and EMR exposure that simply haven't been studied over time. We do one thing, rooted in tradition, and we do it at the highest level.
Custom sauna projects vary based on room size, wood species, heater selection, and design features. We'll provide you with a detailed estimate after our initial consultation. Reach out and we'll walk you through what to expect for your specific space.
