Yes. BW saunas are built in Minnesota and delivered nationwide across the continental United States.
We have placed and delivered saunas in major regions across the country, including Colorado, Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Oregon, North Carolina, and beyond.
Whether you are looking for a custom home sauna, a mobile sauna, or a fully custom outdoor sauna, BW can help plan the build, delivery, and installation around your location.
BW custom home saunas usually start around $30,000. Mobile saunas usually start around $40,000.
Custom home saunas can range up to $80,000 or more depending on size, layout, finishes, stove selection, and site needs. Mobile saunas can increase for larger custom or commercial builds.
These are not simple kit saunas. BW saunas are built with the same mindset, materials, and finish expectations you would find in a $3 million to $10 million luxury home. You can explore current models on our saunas for sale page or start with the custom sauna quote tool.
Finished or nearly finished saunas can sometimes be delivered in the Midwest in under a week.
National delivery can often happen within about 14 days depending on schedule, route, and installation needs. For a fully custom sauna, the build process usually takes 1 to 3 months depending on demand, season, design complexity, and current production schedule.
You can view our mobile sauna lineup or reach out through our contact page for current availability.
BW custom saunas are designed to last 20 to 40 years and beyond with proper care.
BW often builds saunas to replace cheaper saunas that have burned out, broken down, or failed after only 2 to 5 years. Many kit saunas are not made for decades of real use, weather exposure, heat cycles, and long term maintenance.
We build our saunas to be maintained, serviced, and lived with over time. In many ways, a BW sauna is built like a luxury home. With good upkeep, it can become a lasting cornerstone of the property. You can see completed examples in our gallery and American Sauna Stories.
In many cases, no. Most BW sauna structures are designed to stay under the square footage that commonly triggers permit requirements.
Local rules still vary by city, county, HOA, and property type, so we always recommend checking your local requirements before installation.
BW saunas are built on a steel frame, which gives you more flexibility for placement. They can rest on a concrete slab, posts, or a prepared gravel area. Electric models may require electrical work, while wood fired models may have different placement and clearance considerations. You can learn more on our FAQ page or start with our custom home sauna page.
Yes. One of the advantages of a BW steel frame sauna is that it can be moved with proper handling.
If you sell your home, you may choose to keep the sauna with the property as a value adding feature, or you may choose to move it to your next location.
The steel frame helps protect the structure during transport and installation. It keeps the wood framed sauna body from shifting, bending, or twisting the way a lighter structure might. You can also read more about sauna value on our Airbnb and property value guide.
Sauna with Purpose.
We believe in leaning into the hard parts of life. The uncomfortable seasons and the moments that reveal who we are. Sauna isn’t just about heat; it’s about discipline, reset, and recovery. It’s about stepping away from screens and noise to rediscover ourselves and establish clarity we can use to built a better tomorrow. Silence has a way of bringing out what actually matters in our lives. From day one, we’ve built saunas that invite you into that moment again and again. Because comfort won’t make you stronger. But heat will.
Confidently American Made
No filters. No performance. Just presence.
BW doesn’t care what you believe, what you look like, or what side you’re on. That all falls away when you enter a sauna. They’ve been a shared experience cultures and eras. Common ground. We could sit in a sauna with a stranger from 2,000 years ago and share the same breath, the same stillness, the same human experience. We believe a sauna is the place where opinions take a backseat and presence takes the lead. It’s not about what you post. It’s about how you feel when you step out.
We’ve stepped aside to invest solely in building the very best-quality saunas money can buy.

We’ve sourced some of the best wood on the market to offer a wide variety of food finish options. Below are some of the most popular wood finishes our clients have used.
At BW Sauna Co., every design decision is rooted in durability, performance, and long-term value. That’s why we frame all of our mobile saunas with steel instead of aluminum, and why the base of our stationary saunas is also built from steel.
Strength You Can Rely On
Steel is significantly stronger than aluminum. For mobile saunas that travel thousands of miles, encounter bumps, curves, and temperature shifts, strength matters. A steel frame ensures the structure stays square and solid, resisting warping, twisting, or stress fractures over time. It is built to hold up through seasons of use on the road and still feel like new.
Weight That Works With Us
While aluminum is lighter, that weight savings often comes at the cost of structural integrity. For us, the slightly heavier weight of steel translates to better towing stability and lower risk of flexing or damage in transport. Our trailers are designed to handle the weight efficiently without compromising the sauna experience.
Corrosion Resistance Where It Matters
All steel used in BW sauna frames is treated and coated to prevent rust and ensure longevity, especially critical in humid environments like saunas. Properly prepared steel actually outperforms raw aluminum in resisting corrosion over time when exposed to the moisture and heat of regular sauna use.
Consistency Across Stationary Builds
Even in our stationary models, the base, the point of contact between the sauna and the ground, must resist movement, moisture, and long-term wear. Steel provides a dependable, immovable foundation that holds up under weight, humidity, and shifting temperatures.
Made for Harsh Environments
Our clients use saunas in backyards, lake properties, mountain retreats, and off-grid locations. Steel allows us to build structures that can endure diverse climates and real-life use, not just showroom conditions.
Framing – It is the fitting together of pieces to give a structure support and shape. Headers are built over windows and doors to support the roof load.
Insulation – This is the insulation of the unit. It’s a standard fiberglass insulating material and works to trap air and slow the transfer of heat.
Breathable Membrane – This is a breathable, water-resistant membrane made to resist moisture and release water vapor and works as an air barrier to the structure.
Maintenance Free Siding – This is the outer layer of the structure. It’s a fully waterproof, maintenance free siding option, and is available in many different colors/styles.
Sheathing – 7/16″ OSB sheathing applied over the framing, which holds everything together and prevents the building from ever swaying or bending. It’s used as a nailing base for your siding materials as well.
Foil Vapor Barrier – This is applied over the framing in the hot room areas. It serves as a vapor barrier to the exterior, while also reflecting the heat back inside the room.
Furring Strips – These are used to separate the wood paneling from the exterior wall, to give an air gap for the space to breathe. It helps to dry the wood and is crucial for reflecting the heat back into the room.
Wall Paneling – Commonly used as cedar T&G, but many different forms of paneling can be used. This is the outer layer of the interior and is a wood that can soak up steam and deal with heat absorption without any type of long-term damage. It is also highly resistant to fungus, rot, and decay.
We will work with you to understand and advise the right heat source based on your lifestyle, sauna size, and features.
