Comparing All three Sauna material Kits
LK Prime-C: (11116″; Clear, Seamed (1′,2′ & 3′ t&g for wall/ceiling lining) The most economical because of knotty or seamed clear cedar lining and the thinner bench material. Ideal for the price conscious do-it-yourselfer. Note for building contractor or homeowner buying kit for their builder. Seams and Benches take longer to build, so material savings is largely offset by increased labor costs.
LK Plus: (11/16″ Clear t & g wall/ceiling lining) This is the most popular package. 11/16″ Clear Western red cedar lining and strong, sturdy 2×4 bench tops and supports that are quicker to assemble and have a very substantial look and feel. The LK Plus starts you off with a first-rate, high quality sauna and lets you pick and choose the options and extras that appeal to you. (Note: Some pass off 5/8 cedar as 11/16. Ours is a true 11/16″.)
LK Premium: (11/16″ Clear t & g wall/ceiling lining) Starts as an LK Plus, but adds a lot of the most popular designer features and options at preferential prices. LK Premium includes bench skirt, designer backrest, and Sauna Craft XR heater and EL-13 Electronic control. It also includes accessory pack #1 (bucket, dipper, thermometer) light shade cover and exterior casing. LK Premium is popular with customers who like all the included upgrades. The better price is a nice bonus. On the other hand, it you like some of the other features, but not all, then you are usually better off selecting an LK Plus and adding the options upgrades you prefer.
Construction Details |

| Note: Below are merely short form instructions for your consideration. The material kit will come with a full manual including detailed drawings. YOU SUPPLY: Framing Use 2 x 4 construction grade spruce studs to frame the walls and ceiling. If the ceiling span is over 10′, use 2 x 6 studs. Unless otherwise specified, for saunas up to 8′ x 8′, the walls are LINED HORIZONTALLY and FRAMED VERTICALLY. Frame the walls at 16″ on center. Frame or strap the ceiling to an inside height of 83-1/2″. Frame the ceiling so that the cedar will run the shortest direction. Provide extra blocking for bench supports and heater. Standard kit height 83v2″. Most Saunas are 7′ height or lower. Minimum height is generally 75″ to 78″ depending on heater model. Maximum sauna height should never be higher than 8′. If you really want higher, we strongly urge being as close to 7′ as you can, i.e. 7′-4″ or 7′-6″. (Extra cost for additional cedar.) Strapping For standard horizontal lining, strapping is not required. If lining vertically, strap (1 x 2 spf) over the foil to change direction. Can be used to create air space, but it is not necessary. Wiring Electrical rough-in of heater, control and light should be done at this time. If using an outside control, the thermostat should be installed at this stage. (See heater specifications and control wiring diagrams for wire and breaker sizes.) Hook-up of the heater and light can be done after the sauna is completed. Insulation The space between the studs in the walls and ceiling is filled with 3-1/2″, R-12 fiberglass insulation. | |

TESTIMONIAL |
| Saunafin staff, I purchased the 5×7 LK Plus package for my personal use. Saunafin met or exceeded all my expectations in pricing, quality and schedule. Their website was straight forward and accurate. The delivery schedule was as promised, with all the material packaged properly for protection. The cedar is beautiful, and the material estimate was precise. I rarely take the time to write appreciation letters, but this experience was A++. Everyone Involved is to be commended. I highly recommend Saunafin to anyone seeking a sauna. All the Best, |
