Endless finish options

From the cladding and benches to the shape of the stove, each BW sauna reflects the evolving craftsmanship, standards, and a deep commitment to detail. Part of that detail, is bringing a selection of some of the best wood products available. Thermory is our exclusive provider of our wood library offering natural and chemically free finishes in a variety of textures and colors. 

Three values

One
Vision

Sauna with purpose.

We believe in leaning into the hard parts of life.  The uncomfortable seasons, and 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 build a better tomorrow. Silence has a way of bringing out in our lives what actually matters.  From day one, we’ve build saunas that invite us into that moment again and again. Because comfort won’t make you stronger. But heat will. 

Confidently American Made

While many brands chase trends and mimic Scandinavian aesthetics, we take a different path. Our saunas are built with intention, grounded in American ingenuity, and crafted by people who care about the work, not the label. We respect tradition, but we’re not here to imitate it. Every sauna we build reflects the values we live by: honesty, durability, and substance over style. We use local materials, engineer every detail to fit it’s unique environment, and build for real people who want something that lasts. No gimmicks. No borrowed culture. Just the real sauna made right here, with pride.

No filters. No performance. Just presence.

Sauna doesn’t care what you believe, what you look like, or what side you’re on. It strips that away. For thousands of years, it’s been a shared experience across cultures and eras. 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 sauna is that 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.

FAQ's

Why we choose steel?
We chose steel because it represents the reliability and go-anywhere character of BW Sauna. 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.

Our Saunas are not meant to be disposable like shelf-bought saunas. They are built with the same standards and materials you would find in a custom home. If taken care of, mobile saunas can last easily 10-20 years, and stationary saunas can last as long as the home would last. 

Saunas can add huge value to an Airbnb property. Both through rent prices, which can see a + $50 increase in nightly cost. In addition to the added appeal that boosts the number of guests per month and the property value, a permanent structure sauna can increase the property value by as much as +25k. 

From start to finish we estimate 8 weeks for custom saunas. You can see our shop inventory if we have a sauna prebuilt and ready to order today.

We ship nationwide within the 48 states. We are always happy to talk if you have a location that falls outside this region, just be advised that shipping and freight costs become out of hand. But hey, if we can get a flag to the moon, you never know. 

We can control who starts the fire, but we can ensure you have a great wood-fired sauna heater by some of the best names in the industry. For those who love convenience, electric heaters have come a long way since the 1996 Holiday Inn days. We even offer Wifi remote start options.

Mobile Sauna Vs. Home Sauna?

Questions We Get Asked Often

What is a mobile sauna and is it really as good as the sauna in my home?

Mobile saunas are fairly new. They have started to gain popularity in the United States with many trailer sauna delivery options. Mobile saunas can be every bit the heat quality of a home sauna.

Can I build my own mobile sauna?

If you're passionate about building mobile saunas, that makes the both of us. Yes, it is possible to build your own sauna. It does take good planning and patience to truly get the results you envision. Unlike backyard saunas, mobile saunas will require an understanding in metal works for the trailer frame.

What are my heating options?

We find mobile saunas to work best with authentic wood-fired stoves. However, there are gas options, and even electric options if sufficient battery and solar capacity.

how long will a mobile sauna last?

Mobile saunas have a wide range of craftsmanship and structural quality. Some factors such as having a steel frame, proper heat shielding and siding make all the difference. Our saunas are designed to last decades if taken care of properly.

Is a custom mobile sauna worth it?

Mobile saunas offer unparalleled ability to get a full relaxation anywhere you wish to go. By the cabin fire or on the ski trip in the rocky mountains. That's what makes mobile so amazing! The biggest benefit of a home sauna is the added value to your property.

How long does it take to build a mobile sauna or home Sauna?

From start to finish we estimate 8 weeks for custom saunas. You can see our shop inventory if we have a sauna prebuilt and ready to order today.

Why choose steel over aluminum frames for sauna construction?

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.

The 8 layers of a BW Sauna

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.
