Why Choose the Model G2 — And Why It Matters
When you’re investing in a home sauna, you want quality, longevity and simplicity.

Each option has its own size/model and pricing shown when you select it (for example: “Wood-Burning Heater Bundle 40 kW”, “Wood-Burning Heater Bundle 50 kW”, etc.). Be sure to review and select your heater variant before checkout to complete your system.

The warranty does not cover normal material wear, natural weathering of the lumber, or installation or delivery of components and applies only to the original retail purchaser.
WARRANTY PERFORMANCE
For any warranty service, Sauna Life reserves the right to choose, at its option, repair of the problem or a replacement of the defective part. Sauna Life reserves the right to substitute a part or component of
equivalent value, either new or factory reconditioned, and any such repair or replacement shall assume as its warranty only the remaining portion of the warranty on the original product.

Sauna heaters and added components are not covered by this warranty.
ACTS INVALIDATING WARRANTY
This warranty is void if the Sauna Life sauna has been subject to alteration, misuse or abuse, commercial use, or if any repairs on the sauna are attempted by anyone other than an authorized representative of Sauna Life. Alteration shall include, but is not limited to, deviation from the original assembly instructions, component change, or the addition of any non-approved device or heating system, which contributes to a component or unit failure, or unsafe operating system. Use of the sauna in an application for which it is not designed will void this warranty. This includes, but is not limited to, damage caused by operation above safe sauna operating temperatures, damage caused by added components, damage to the sauna’s surface caused by harsh chemicals, damage caused by movement of the product, and damage caused by acts of God.

What people like
Pros
- Premium Wood Quality: Features sturdy 1.65" thick Nordic Spruce planks with interlocking joints for walls, offering excellent thermal mass and a durable, robust structure built to last a lifetime outdoors.
- Superior Bench Comfort: The two-tier benches and backrests are crafted from thick, knot-free Aspen (1.1" thick), which is a high-grade wood known for staying cooler in a hot environment and providing a smooth, comfortable seating experience.
- Versatile Heating Options: Designed to accommodate both an electric sauna heater (6kW-10kW recommended) or a traditional wood-fired stove, giving the user flexibility in their preferred sauna experience.
- Modern, Airy Design: Features a clear tempered glass door that allows natural light and outdoor views, creating a more luxurious and open-feeling interior space.
- Included Waterproof Roof: Comes with a slanted roof and a premium self-gluing EPDM roofing system (full floor also included) to ensure excellent weatherproofing and water management.
- Integrated LED Lighting: Includes a dotless, dimmable LED lighting system that is low-voltage, often Wi-Fi app-controlled, and enhances the interior aesthetic without harsh brightness.
- Simple DIY Assembly: Engineered for a straightforward, 2-person, 2-day installation, making it a highly accessible DIY kit for homeowners.
Cons
- Heater Not Included: The electric or wood-fired sauna heater is purchased separately, adding significantly to the final project cost and requiring additional selection and installation.
- Requires Exterior Finish: The Nordic Spruce exterior wood requires a stain or paint with UV protection to preserve and protect the material from the elements, which is an additional, mandatory step.
- Minimal Wall Insulation: As is common with traditional log/plank saunas, it has a single layer of wood (no added wall insulation/R-value), which can lead to higher heating costs or slower heat-up times in very cold climates.
- Heavy Freight Delivery: The entire sauna arrives disassembled on a large, heavy LTL freight truck, requiring adequate planning and manpower to receive and move the components.
- Electrical Installation Required: Choosing an electric heater requires professional electrical wiring to install a dedicated circuit, which adds complexity and cost to the final setup.
