Wood Options Perfect for Austin Sauna Builds
Your wood selection impacts how your sauna feels, smells, and endures over time. Below are our most requested options, each chosen for its ability to handle heat, humidity, and long-term use in Texas homes and businesses.
Cedar – Aromatic, Resilient, and Timeless
Cedar is our most popular choice thanks to its soothing scent, natural resistance to warping, and durability in Austin’s mix of humid summers and dry winters. Its rich reddish tones create a calming atmosphere perfect for both indoor and outdoor builds.
Why Austin homeowners choose cedar:
* Naturally resists mildew and bacteria
* Handles Texas humidity with ease
* Minimal maintenance required
* Warm color and spa-like aroma
Hemlock – Modern, Clean, and Low-Scent
Hemlock is a go-to for contemporary designs. With a pale tone and subtle grain, it pairs beautifully with glass, steel, and modern interiors. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for sensitive users.
Why clients in Austin love hemlock:
* Virtually scent-free
* Smooth, consistent appearance
* Ideal for indoor saunas
* Durable under high heat
Spruce – Bright, Lightweight, and Sustainable
Spruce offers a light, Scandinavian-inspired look that works well in smaller spaces or minimalist designs. Popular in Central Texas homes, it insulates efficiently and is responsibly sourced.

* Eco-friendly and sustainably harvested
* Excellent insulation properties

Sauna Heating Systems Tailored to Your Lifestyle
The heating system defines the type of sauna experience you’ll enjoy — whether you prefer the intensity of dry heat or the gentle warmth of infrared. At Austin Custom Saunas, we install a range of heater options suited to your goals.
Electric Sauna Heaters – Reliable, Quick, and Simple
Compact and easy to use, electric heaters are popular in Austin homes for their fast heat-up times and programmable controls. They’re a great option for residential saunas with modern needs.
Benefits:
* Digital controls with timers
* Low maintenance requirements
* Perfect for smaller indoor saunas

Wood-Burning Heaters – Rustic and Authentic
For those who prefer the traditional sauna feel, wood-burning heaters deliver natural, aromatic heat. They’re perfect for outdoor builds on ranch properties, lake houses, or homes with plenty of outdoor space.
Why Austin residents choose wood-burning heaters:
* No electricity needed — great for rural builds
* Cozy, cabin-like atmosphere
* Even, penetrating heat
* Adds rustic charm to backyard retreats
Infrared Sauna Panels – Gentle and Wellness-Focused

Highlights:
* Comfortable low-temperature operation
* Energy-efficient
* Gentle on skin and respiratory system
* Ideal for personal wellness and recovery

FAQ - All You Need To Know!
How much does a custom sauna cost in Austin?
The cost of a custom sauna installation depends on size, materials, heater type, and site complexity. On average, homeowners in the Austin area can expect:
* Indoor saunas: Starting around $7,000–$12,000
* Outdoor saunas: Typically $9,000–$18,000

Every project is unique. We provide transparent, itemized quotes during the consultation phase so you know exactly what’s included before moving forward.
Do you install pre-built saunas?
Yes, we do. If you’ve already purchased a pre-built or prefabricated sauna, our expert installers will handle the entire setup process. We take care of site preparation, foundation leveling, heater and electrical connections, and final testing to ensure your unit operates safely and efficiently.
Not sure which sauna to buy? We also provide pre-purchase consultations to help you select a model that fits your available space, performance goals, and budget.
What are the benefits of having a sauna at home?
Owning a custom sauna in your Austin home provides a variety of physical and mental health benefits. Regular sessions can help reduce stress, improve circulation, support detoxification, relieve sore muscles, and enhance overall relaxation. Because each sauna is designed around your personal space and preferences, you enjoy the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and long-term value.
Whether you prefer an indoor setup or a backyard retreat, a home sauna offers year-round wellness without leaving your property—or paying for gym or spa memberships.
Can I add lighting, sound, or smart features to my sauna?
Absolutely. We offer a range of upgrades that enhance both comfort and atmosphere:
* LED accent and mood lighting
* Chromotherapy (color therapy) systems
* Built-in Bluetooth speakers
* Himalayan salt wall panels
* Custom glass doors or panoramic windows
* Smart thermostats and digital controls
All features are integrated during the design phase, allowing your sauna to look elegant, feel comfortable, and function exactly how you want it.
What should I consider when designing a custom sauna?
When planning your sauna, there are several key design factors to keep in mind:
* Available space (indoor room or outdoor setting)
* Heating system preference (electric, wood-burning, infrared, or hybrid)
* Seating capacity and layout
* Type of wood (cedar, hemlock, or spruce)
* Proper ventilation and safety features
* Aesthetic details (lighting, glass panels, windows, and finishes)
At Austin Custom Saunas, we guide you through every decision—from your initial consultation to detailed 3D renderings—ensuring the final design complements your home and lifestyle perfectly.
How long does sauna installation take?
Installation time depends on the project’s scope and complexity. Most custom-built saunas in Austin are completed within 2–5 days, while pre-built saunas can often be installed in just one day if the site and electrical setup are ready.
Before we begin, you’ll receive a detailed timeline and daily progress updates to ensure a smooth, organized build with minimal disruption to your home or business.
How does wood selection affect sauna cost and performance?
The type of wood plays a major role in your sauna’s look, longevity, and price:
Cedar – Naturally moisture-resistant and aromatic with a premium finish. Long-lasting but slightly higher in cost.
Hemlock – Clean, smooth, and low-scent. More affordable than cedar, ideal for modern interiors.
Spruce – Light, eco-friendly, and well-insulated. A budget-friendly option for compact or contemporary saunas.
During your design consultation, we’ll review all available wood types with samples and pricing so you can choose the right balance of aesthetics, durability, and budget for your project.
Are infrared saunas better than traditional ones?
Each type has its own strengths. Traditional saunas—powered by electric or wood-burning heaters—create a high-temperature, dry-heat environment that encourages a deep, purifying sweat. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared panels to warm your body directly at lower air temperatures, providing deeper heat penetration and comfort for longer sessions.
Infrared saunas are often chosen for their energy efficiency, gentle warmth, and muscle recovery benefits, while traditional saunas deliver a more classic, high-heat experience. Not sure which is right for you? Our hybrid options combine both systems in one.
Are saunas safe for regular use?
Yes — when professionally designed and installed, saunas are very safe for routine use. Our builds include heat-rated materials, GFCI-protected electrical systems, and proper airflow for reliable operation.
As with any wellness activity, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional if you have health concerns or are pregnant. We also provide full operational guidance at handoff to ensure safe, comfortable sessions every time.
