Interior & Comfort
The Kaarina's Canadian red cedar interior creates a naturally aromatic, visually warm environment well-suited to the high-temperature demands of a traditional electric sauna. The bronze privacy tempered-glass door adds a premium visual element while maintaining privacy from the exterior.

The stove is designed to heat the cabin to an ideal listed operating range of 170°F–185°F, with a maximum listed temperature of 190°F.

The stove requires a dedicated 240V/40A electrical circuit, separate from the 120V/15A circuit required for the lighting and audio controls. A certified electrician must provide both circuits. This sauna is not plug-and-play. Wi-Fi, app control, remote operation, and automatic water dispensing are not included or claimed.
Lighting & Audio
The interior LED control panel manages lighting and audio settings from within the cabin. The ceiling-mounted Galaxy Star color-therapy lighting system lets you set the ambiance for each session.
