Indoor Saunas

My own sauna setup is a 2-person infrared in the basement — a corner installation in a finished space with a standard 20-amp 240V circuit. Indoor saunas range from that kind of freestanding cabinet installation to full custom-built sauna rooms with tiled floors, glass doors, and electric heaters on dedicated 60-amp circuits. The practical decision tree for indoor buyers is: how much floor space do you have, what's your electrical capacity, and do you want infrared or traditional? Infrared cabinets are easier — most run on 20–30 amps, install anywhere with a flat floor, and don't require ventilation the way traditional saunas do. Traditional indoor saunas need proper ventilation, vapor barriers, and more careful heat management, but produce the genuine Finnish experience. Corner configurations make efficient use of basement and bathroom space. The guides below cover the indoor category by type, size, and electrical requirement, with attention to the practical installation questions buyers actually face — clearances, ventilation, flooring, and what to realistically budget for electrical work beyond the sauna unit itself.
