The Charleston is a 4-Person traditional steam Barrel Sauna in western red cedar and is designed using a ball-and-socket profile held in place by sturdy stainless steel bands and minimal fasteners. This allows the 1 3/8 thick and insulating lumber staves to expand and contract to form a tight seal creating an efficient unit that evenly distributes heat. By taking the front round section and setting it back into the sauna we’ve created a visually appealing and useful outside sitting area. An extended canopy front porch sets the Charleston apart. The two exterior opposite-facing benches are a great place to hold towels and drinks or to relax and cool off between sauna sessions. We use only the highest quality stainless steel tempered glass and fasteners on all of our saunas. The unit sits on three weather-resistant polymer cradles lofting the sauna s undercarriage from the ground. The Charleston comes with a dial-controlled stainless steel 6.0kW heater and sauna stones that will heat to 170-185F+ within 1 hour. Sprinkle water on the hot sauna stones for a rejuvenating burst of steam. This can be repeated multiple times throughout the sauna session as a way to add humidity to your dry sauna. A 110-V LED light bar is included to give your sauna a soft accented glow.
