At BW, we work to handcraft lifetime quality custom mobile and home saunas to become a cornerstone of homes, lives and culture by elevating the quality, accessibility, and longevity.
In a world where everything is bought from large corporations manufacturing parts with the cheapest labor, we wanted to go in another direction. When we set out to build the best handcrafted custom backyard saunas we could in Duluth, Minnesota, we knew it had to start with finding the best people behind every bolt, board, and weld.
We have the privilege to work with some of the best craftsmen in Minnesota. Fellow Americans who are pushing to keep our economy strong. Those that work with their hands to make a living, making a difference, in small ways and big. The Saunas we build are a lasting testament to these people.
Our custom sauna builders gather your vision, help inspire ideas and possibilities of what your sauna will be.
There are a lot of options out there. From the hight of the seats to custom tile work. Each sauna we make bring something uniquely you.
We work with quality people, and ensure we use the best material available. Built by a team that truly cares.
We stand behind our product. If you have questions or issue that may arise over the years, we are available to help.
The signature dragon-scale pattern of Thermory Ignite cladding is created by embossing and tinting thermally modified spruce wood. Unlike modern yakisugi, which is often created by hand with a torch, Ignite is produced using a deceptively flame-free process.
The natural warm and rich finish combined with the soft smooth grain of the magnolia give a perfect interior wood finish option.
No sauna in complete without the amazing qualities of cedar. Working with long grain cedar, a higher quality, provides uninterrupted beauty with the amazing smell and long lasting quality that cedar is known for.
thermally modified ash decking provides the best natural chemical free decking that can withstand the hard climate of the Superior lakeshore while providing the natural beauty throughout the sauna interior.
Our in-depth design process allows you to see what your custom backyard sauna will look like before the first board is cut. In some cases, we can even bring you interactive level design viewable from your mobile phone.
Take yourself to the coldest day on the winter North Shore. The blackness of the night while you look out into the -30 degree air. The waves, never ending voice always heard but not seen. The howling of the winds caught in the jagged shore. Stepping into the dim lit warmth, the fire dancing off the windows reflection.
A Sauna on the cliffs edge of Lake Superior transports you to another world. A humbling peace in the shadow of a giant.
A quality mobile sauna brings together eight layers of material design to keep in the heat and weather out and moisture-free to leave after you've finished your session, all while bringing out the natural beauty of the unique design.
Our saunas start with a sturdy 2×4 frame, exterior OSB, Tyvek, and all-weather metal siding. On the inside, we use insulation on all walls, including the floor if elevated. This is followed by an interior metal heat shield, cedar or pine spacers to prevent moisture traps, and the finished cedar.
For thousands of years, saunas were confined to where they were built. Now, in the heart of Minnesota, mobile saunas offer the ability to get your sweat on wherever the road carries you, from a cliff edge to the shores of the great Lake Superior. Our wood-fire saunas are ideal for anything from post-exercise recovery to vacation destinations to extreme cold plunges. The possibilities are truly endless.
You build something extraordinary when you build a custom sauna with BW. A centerpiece of conversation, a sauna that can unite people and become a cornerstone of your relaxation space. When your sauna is designed especially for you, it means so much more.
We chose steel because it represents the reliability and go-anywhere character of BW Saunas. The last thing you should be thinking about when you enter our saunas is if you damaged the sauna on the road there.
“If your truck can go there, your sauna should too!”
We are about craftsmanship and sourcing quality materials, period: no fluff, no nonsense, just the best possible mobile saunas for sale at a fair price.
Saunas are easy to build to just look good, but water, heat, and steam have a way of separating looks from quality. Some saunas use wood jointing that separates and warps over time. With BW, we bring reinforced jointing and thick wood paneling to ensure your sauna not only feels solid but will keep feeling that way well into its years of use.
“If your truck can go there, your sauna should too!”
-30 degrees out? Some saunas skip out on insulating the floors or giving proper heat-reflecting coverage in the name of price and weight. When heat is the primary purpose of your sauna, heat should be the top priority. Our saunas are made for the cold! We insulate every last inch to ensure your sauna heats up hotter, faster, and in the coldest conditions.
When you start exploring what a custom sauna could look like, you might already have that exact idea in mind: that perfect finish with a wide panorama window. Or something more true to its history, humbly nestled in the lakeside corner. Either way, we hope this catalog offers inspiration for your journey
The end result of a captivating vision, brought to life. If you have a vision you’d like to see built, give us a call with any questions and we’re more than happy to chat.
