6 Person Traditional Sauna for Home – Golden Designs Engelberg

Use 6 person. This model has full 6 person capacity.

The Engelberg is twenty inches deeper, uses an 8.0 kW stove instead of a 6.0 kW stove, and has full 6 person capacity.

Pacific Premium Clear Cedar is used for the sauna construction, inside and outside.

Plan for 240V / 40A service for the stove and 120V / 15A service for the controls, lights and music. We recommend consulting a certified electrician before installation.

Yes. It has Interior Chromotherapy lighting system plus Red Light Therapy Feature.

Do not use the sauna if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, have an active fever, unstable angina, have recently had a heart attack, have severe aortic stenosis, or have uncontrolled high blood pressure. Because a traditional sauna operates at much higher temperatures than an infrared sauna, typically between 160°F and 195°F, the heat stress is more intense.

Consult your physician before use if you have any cardiovascular condition, diabetes, or difficulty regulating body temperature. If you have asthma or respiratory sensitivity, use caution with woods such as cedar, as heat can intensify the release of plicatic acid, a natural irritant that may trigger symptoms in sensitive people.

Consult your physician if you take medication that may affect circulation, blood pressure, sweating, or heat tolerance. Traditional saunas can cause faster, deeper sweating, which may affect how some medications are tolerated or absorbed.

Remove transdermal medication patches before each session unless your physician tells you otherwise, as temperatures up to 195°F may change how quickly medicine is absorbed through the skin. This information is general and does not replace professional medical advice.

Maintenance is simple, but important for the long-term life of the wood.

After each session, wipe the benches and backrests with a damp cloth to remove sweat. Removable benches are helpful because they make it easier to deep clean the lower area, where skin particles and moisture can build up.

For deeper cleaning, use only diluted white vinegar and water or cleaners specifically approved for sauna wood. Avoid bleach, ammonia, or solvents, as the wood may absorb them and release unwanted fumes when heated.

After use, remove damp towels and leave the door slightly open for about 30 minutes. Mechanical ventilation or an exhaust fan should continue running so the cabin can dry fully and reduce the risk of mold, especially in indoor installations.

Inspect the sauna stones annually. Over time, stones can erode and block airflow, which may overheat the heating elements and reduce efficiency.

A traditional sauna heats the air with a stove and sauna stones. The cabin runs at 160 to 195°F and you can pour water on the stones for a burst of steam.

An infrared sauna warms your body directly at 118 to 140°F, with no steam. Choose traditional if you want real heat, humidity and the classic sauna ritual.

Most people run a traditional sauna between 160 and 185°F. Allow 30 to 45 minutes to preheat, a little longer in a cold room.

Sessions last 10 to 20 minutes, with a cool down in between. Two or three rounds is a full sauna.

This model runs on 240V / 40A stove; 120V / 15A controls, lights and music. That is a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician, the same kind an electric range or a dryer uses. Book the electrician before your delivery date, not after.

Check the Specs tab: some models are indoor only, others include a roofing kit for outdoor use.

Indoors, you need a dry, ventilated room with a solid, level floor and a ceiling that clears the sauna height (61" W x 70" D x 75" H) with a few inches to spare. Outdoors, set it on a level, solid base away from sprinklers and standing water.

Footprint: 61" W x 70" D x 75" H. Leave 2 to 4 inches behind and on each side for air flow, room in front for the door to swing open, and the clearance above the heater that the manual sets out.

Measure the route in as well: doorways, stairs and turns. The panels are large, so check the tightest corner first.

It ships by LTL freight, curbside, on a pallet. The carrier calls you to schedule a delivery window and leaves the boxes at the curb or end of your driveway, not inside.

The panels are heavy, so plan on two or three people to carry them in. Inspect every box for visible damage before you sign for it.

The cabin is built from panels. Two people with basic tools can put it together in about half a day. Models with preassembled walls take 2 to 3 hours. The heater is connected by your electrician.

Yes. The heater is designed for it. Use one ladle of clean water at a time and let the stones heat for a full 30 to 45 minutes before the first pour.

Keep the cabin dry between sessions: leave the door open afterwards until the wood is dry.

Wipe the benches with a soft cloth after each session and leave the door open until the cabin is dry. Avoid bleach, ammonia and solvent cleaners on the wood.

Rinse and reposition the sauna stones once or twice a year, and replace any that have cracked.
