Traditional Home Saunas Melbournians Love
There’s nothing like stepping into a traditional sauna and feeling the warmth embrace you.
In Melbourne, traditional saunas have captured the hearts of wellness seekers, health enthusiasts, and those looking for a place to unwind and relax.
Whether you’re interested in building a
home sauna or complete custom options, we'll take you through everything you need to know about traditional saunas, with insights from The Sauna Company, the Victorian distributor of the internationally recognised
SAWO Finland brand.
What is a Traditional Sauna?
A traditional sauna is a heated space designed for relaxation, rejuvenation, and socialisation. Using various heating methods, these saunas reach high temperatures that help you unwind and relieve stress. Traditional saunas often have their roots in Finnish Society, where the culture of saunas is deeply respected and celebrated.
At The Sauna Company, we understand the true essence of the sauna experience, bringing you cutting-edge sauna room equipment from SAWO Finland, an internationally recognised leader in the industry.
Our aim is to not only promote the SAWO brand but also highlight the wellness, health, and relaxation benefits that come with sauna bathing.
Did you know?
The phrase "Lämpimästi tervetuloa saunomaan," which translates to "warmly welcome to the sauna," beautifully captures the spirit of sauna spaces in Findland.

Types of Traditional Sauna Heating Methods
The heating method installed in your sauna can dramatically change the experience and feel.
Traditional saunas use wood-burning stoves or electric heating to create the desired level of heat.
Here’s a quick rundown of the most popular types:
Wood-Burning Sauna Stoves
Wood-burning sauna heaters are a classy choice, offering a rich and earthy aroma that complements the warm heat.
They often use high-quality sauna timbers to deliver a consistent heat level.
At The Sauna Company, we offer SAWOs wood fire burning sauna stove, renowned for their reliability and heat output.
These are perfect for those who love a rustic, natural feel and enjoy tending the fire themselves.
Electric Sauna Heaters
Electric stoves offer a more convenient way to control your sauna experience, especially when it comes to heat levels.
With control panels, you can easily set your desired temperature, making electric stoves ideal for those looking for convenience and precise temperature control.
Our SAWO Finland electric stoves are designed with advanced technology, ensuring a smooth, easy-to-use experience every time.
Which heating method should you choose?
Each heating method offers a unique experience. For those who want a hands-on experience and enjoy the smell of burning wood, wood-burning stoves are a fantastic choice. Electric stoves, on the other hand, are ideal for people who prefer ease of use and quick heating times. If you’re unsure which option is best for your space, The Sauna Company is always available for a no-obligation discussion to help guide you in selecting the perfect heating method.
Choosing the Right Timber for Your Sauna
Timber selection is essential for achieving that authentic sauna feel.
High-quality timber varieties not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also affect the sauna’s heat retention and durability.
Popular Sauna Timbers and Their Benefits
The most popular choices include cedar, which resists high moisture levels, and pine, known for its rich colour and aromatic properties. The Sauna Company exclusively imports wood options from SAWO Finland. Our wood options offer unique benefits in terms of texture, colour, and fragrance.
The Sauna Company can guide you through choosing the best timber for your sauna project, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful finish for years to come.
Why Timber Matters for Heat Sensation
Your choice of timber can impact the heat sensation in your sauna. Certain woods retain heat differently, which can change how the warmth is distributed.
If you’re unsure, speak with Sarah the sauna expert, she can help guide your decision based on your preferences.

Why are heat shock proteins beneficial when doing sauna therapy?
Heat shock proteins are beneficial when using a sauna because they help repair and protect your cells from stress.
The high heat triggers your body to produce these proteins, which improve muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and boost overall resilience.
They help your body adapt to heat, making your cells stronger and more resistant to stress.
"Great service, great advice and a quality sauna. Would highly recommend the company, the people and the SAWO products.'
