Overview
The Golden Designs Kaskinen is a six-person hybrid outdoor sauna from the Barn Series, presented here in its Pacific Cedar finish. It offers two heating options: a PureTech™ full-spectrum infrared system or an included 8.0 kW traditional electric sauna stove. This dual-mode design lets you choose your preferred heat experience — infrared warmth or traditional high-temperature sauna heat — within the same spacious cabin.
The infrared system contains fifteen emitters: seven Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and eight near-infrared heating elements. The traditional system includes an 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls. A Canadian red cedar interior, all-weather exterior, bronze privacy tempered-glass door, ceiling Galaxy Star color-therapy lighting, an illuminated backrest, Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, and built-in speakers complete the design.

Heating Modes & Controls
The Kaskinen offers two separate heating options. In traditional mode, the included 8.0 kW electric sauna stove with built-in controls heats the cabin to an ideal listed range of 170°F–185°F, with a maximum listed temperature of 190°F. Traditional use may involve carefully adding water to appropriately heated sauna stones according to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
In infrared mode, the PureTech™ full-spectrum system uses fifteen emitters — seven Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF heating panels and eight near-infrared heating elements — to deliver infrared heat with an ideal range of 118°F–132°F and a maximum of 140°F. The Near Zero EMF designation applies only to the seven Carbon PureTech™ panels. It does not apply to the eight near-infrared elements, the entire infrared system, the traditional stove, or the complete sauna.
The two heating modes are presented as separate options — the sauna is not described as operating both modes simultaneously. Specific warm-up times are not listed. No minimum exterior temperature or cold-weather operating guidance was provided for this model.
The stove requires a dedicated 240V/40A electrical circuit, and the lighting and audio controls require a 120V/15A circuit. The infrared system's electrical requirement is not separately provided by the supplier. A certified electrician must confirm all electrical requirements from current manufacturer documentation. 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. An interior backrest with integrated accent lighting adds a premium finishing detail.
For audio, the Kaskinen includes Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in FM radio, and built-in performance speakers. MP3 auxiliary input, USB charging, Wi-Fi, and smart-home integration are not included.
