Questions people actually ask us

A dry sauna runs at 70–90°C with low 10–20% humidity. A steam room is the opposite: 40–45°C at nearly 100% humidity. Infrared cabins are the gentlest at 45–60°C, because the panels warm your body directly rather than the air around it.

A home dry-sauna heater typically draws 6–9 kW while running. Infrared cabins are far lighter: 1.7–2.4 kW, comparable to a few air-conditioning units. We break down realistic monthly costs in our sauna cost guide.

Often yes: older Medan homes sit at 2200–5500 VA, while a 6–9 kW heater needs 7700–11000 VA. The upgrade is billed at official PLN rates and paid by the owner; we handle the paperwork with you. If upgrading is impossible, an infrared sauna is the practical way out.

A home sauna takes 2–4 weeks on site plus 1–2 weeks for material delivery; an infrared cabin needs 1–2 days; an outdoor sauna 1–2 weeks of assembly; a steam room 3–5 weeks because the waterproofing must cure fully; commercial projects run 4–8 weeks.

Interiors are imported wood: western red cedar, Scandinavian spruce or thermowood. Benches are aspen or abachi — low thermal conductivity, so they never burn skin. Local hardwoods like ulin and bengkirai belong on outdoor decking only, never inside the hot room.

At 2–3 sessions a week: a dry sauna costs roughly IDR 200–500K per month in electricity and light upkeep, an infrared cabin IDR 100–250K, a steam room IDR 300–600K. Indicative figures — they depend on your tariff and how often you heat up.

They feel completely different: a dry sauna bites at 70–90°C yet stays easy to breathe; a steam room wraps you in 40–45°C fog. Construction-wise the steam room is more complex because it needs full waterproofing. Compare both on our steam room page.

Infrared panels warm the body directly at 45–60°C, are ready within minutes and draw only 1.7–2.4 kW — the practical choice for homes with limited power. A traditional dry sauna gives the fuller 70–90°C heat ritual. Details on the infrared sauna page.

The structure carries a written 2-year warranty. Harvia, Sawo and Tylo heaters come with a 1–2 year factory warranty, and spare parts are available through us. Every handover includes a full test heat-up together with you.

Yes, with caveats. An infrared cabin is the safest bet: 1.7–2.4 kW and no structural changes. A dry sauna needs a power and ventilation check; a steam room demands serious waterproofing, so it suits a ruko ground floor better than an apartment unit. Start from the home sauna page for the options.

Yes — and in the 16–24°C highland air a sauna feels its absolute best. It is about 66 km from Medan, 1.5–2.5 hours on the winding mountain road, so we schedule surveys there once a week. More on the Berastagi page.

A custom 2×2 m home dry sauna runs IDR 60–120 million, an economy build starts at IDR 40 million, infrared cabins are IDR 30–70 million, steam rooms IDR 50–100 million, outdoor saunas IDR 80–150 million. All indicative; the full table is on the pricing page.
