The Golden Designs Loviisa is a manufacturer-rated three-person outdoor hybrid sauna with an all-weather Pacific Cedar-finish exterior, natural Canadian Red Cedar interior, and flat-roof design. Users can select traditional electric-stove heat or full-spectrum infrared operation, making it a versatile outdoor wellness cabin.
Two Sauna Experiences in One Outdoor Cabin
The Loviisa brings hybrid flexibility to a three-person Barn Series footprint. Its all-weather exterior in Pacific Cedar finish encloses a natural Canadian Red Cedar interior, creating a warm and inviting outdoor wellness space. The flat-roof cabin design offers a clean, modern profile.
Traditional or Full-Spectrum Heat
Traditional mode uses an 8.0 kW electric stove with built-in controls. Its manufacturer-stated ideal range is 170–185°F, with heat up to 190°F. Full-spectrum mode combines five PureTech™ Near Zero EMF carbon heating panels with six near-infrared elements, totaling 11 infrared emitters. Its ideal range is 118–132°F, with heat up to 140°F. The two heating modes are selectable options — do not expect simultaneous operation.
Lighting, Audio, and Cabin Details
The Loviisa features a clear tempered-glass door, ceiling galaxy-star color lighting, an illuminated interior backrest, an interior LED control panel with Bluetooth, and built-in performance speakers. The lighting is an ambiance feature, not a medical treatment.

Electrical and Site Preparation
The current manufacturer specification calls for 240V/40A service for the stove and full-spectrum system. A licensed electrician must verify the current manual, circuit configuration, switching requirements, disconnect/GFCI rules, and local code before installation.
Before ordering, confirm final dimensions, access, placement equipment, load-rated base/foundation, drainage, weather exposure, anchoring, setbacks, permits, ventilation, clearances, and wiring route.
Outdoor Care
Outdoor use still requires protection and maintenance under the current manual. The sauna is not weatherproof or maintenance-free. Wood grain and color naturally vary, and screen colors may differ from the actual finish.
Warranty
Coverage is subject to registration, original purchaser/site, maintenance, installation, use, and other terms. Golden Designs currently describes five-year coverage for the properly maintained wood structure, control panel, applicable harnesses, and lights; the stove/heater follows its own manufacturer warranty. Refer customers to the current written warranty for all component coverage, exclusions, labor, shipping, weather exposure, and claims.
