How custom works
See our saunas.
Dream up yours.
If you have a budget and a vision, we can bring your sauna to life. We'll create it from the ground up, or build it into a room in your house.
Sauna types
Your sauna should be as unique as you are. Let us find the solution that best fits your space and your goals.
Indoor sauna
The more convenient your sauna is, the more you'll use it! If you have space inside your home, that's the perfect place.
Outdoor sauna
Step outside and into your own space. We'll create a design that matches or complements the look of your home.
Built-in sauna
Your sauna should be a unique as you are. Let us find the solution that fits your space and your goals.
Traditional sauna
When most people think of a sauna, this is what they typically picture. The traditional sauna is powered by a rock-filled heater and maintained at 180° to 200°.
Contemporary sauna
Have an idea that's a little outside the traditional sauna box? We specialize in pushing boundaries while staying true to the sauna experience.
Infrared sauna
A more modern take on the ancient tradition, infrared saunas convert electricity into a wavelength of light that heats the body directly, instead of heating the air.
Wet sauna
Frequently referred to as a “steam room,” the wet sauna offers a more humid environment, produced when water is poured on the rocks in the heater.
Dry sauna
Another name for a traditional sauna, this one's for those who prefer a dry heat. Of course, you can still pour water on the rocks, and we recommend it, because 1,000 years of Finnish tradition can't be wrong.

Discovery
It starts with an idea. A short call with Symmetry turns that idea into a vision. Making that vision a reality is where we really shine.
Design
Where your sauna comes to life. Our design team will render the new vision in three dimensions so you can see how it all comes together. The dream is in the details.
Production
Renderings become real. The 3D model moves into the architectural phase and the sauna is made to your specifications. Depending on the selection of materials, lead times can range from 2 to 6 months.
Installation
Our craftspeople specialize in sauna construction. If you're within range of our Symmetry teams, you'll enjoy an incomparable install—no hit-and-miss crews or careless contractors to contend with.

The Symmetry
guarantee
With Symmetry you can't lose. We, as a team, have enough years in designing and building high-quality saunas that we can do (almost) anything. But we, as a company, are also new enough to still care about what you think! So we're all about excellence, and your satisfaction is our priority.
FAQ
There are, of course, many variables that can affect the amount of time it takes from contact to completion of your custom sauna. With that being said, here's how it usually goes:
From the first call to the finalized order, it usually takes about 3 weeks. This includes the initial 2D layout approval, any 3D sauna designs, and one round of revision. Then, from order to delivery, we're currently running about 8 weeks. During this time, we'll triple-check the measurements, select and cut your chosen sauna lumber, build benches, order in your chosen components and accessories, and crate it all together to ship out. While we're doing that, your electrician and handyman should be finishing any site prep that needs to be done.
Once everything is complete, shipping takes 7 to 10 days.
If Symmetry is doing the install
Once your sauna arrives (and we have confirmed that the site is prepared), we can schedule the actual install.
Please note: We can pencil in an install date, but we won't schedule the crew until after your sauna has arrived. We've learned this lesson the hard way too many times. We can usually get our crew there within 2 weeks of crate arrival.
The average custom sauna install takes a Symmetry crew about 5 days to complete.
That all adds up to about 21 weeks. So there you have it. From contract tocompletion, you're looking at about 3 months for an average custom sauna install.

That depends on the experience of your contractor.
If the contractor has never done a sauna installation before, and they are learning on the job, you should expect to pay anywhere from 15%-25% of the cost of your sauna.
**If your sauna has unique custom features that would be difficult for a carpenter with no sauna experience, we will insist on doing the build ourselves.**
If the contractor has sauna experience and a portfolio showing proof of their experience, you can expect (depending on the level of complexity) to pay 35%-60% of the cost of your sauna.
To find out more about the potential cost of your install, call 855.741.0577, or submit a request form, making sure to include your zip code.

If you can dream it, we can build it. There are some fantastic benefits associated with infrared saunas, but most of the off-the-rack options are sub-standard—and some may even be toxic.
Symmetry will design and build your custom infrared sauna with premium, sauna-grade soft woods so you can have all the benefits of the infrared heat source without the dangers of adhesives and treated lumber common in IR saunas. What would you like your infrared sauna to look like? Give us a call today and tell us about your dream sauna.
