Professional Installation
At Sauna Cedar, we provide professional on-site sauna installation in Toronto backed by decades of hands-on craftsmanship. Every sauna is carefully measured, custom-fitted, and built with precision to ensure exceptional quality, durability, and a flawless finish.
Unlike mass-produced, pre-fabricated sauna kits designed around standardized dimensions, our saunas are individually built and fitted on-site for your specific space. Our installers make precise adjustments during construction, allowing every wall, roof, bench, door, trim piece, and finishing detail to come together seamlessly.
We believe a premium sauna should feel like a permanent architectural addition to your home or property—not a product assembled from a box. From the natural variations in the cedar to the dimensions and conditions of the installation area, every detail is considered and refined on-site by experienced craftsmen.
The result is a sauna that looks intentional, feels substantial, and is built specifically for you—not mass produced, not one-size-fits-all, and never simply assembled from a generic kit.

CUSTOM DESIGN
We can customize any of our original Sauna Cedar designs to fit your vision, available space and personal style. Whether you want a small change to one of our existing models or a more personalized layout, we can adjust the design around the way you plan to use your sauna.
Choose the overall width, depth and height, modify the exterior appearance, and create an interior layout that works best for your space. Windows can be added, removed, enlarged, reduced or repositioned, including full-height glass panels, narrow vertical windows or smaller privacy windows.
Inside the sauna, we can adjust the bench configuration, height, width and placement. Choose straight benches, L-shaped layouts, single-tier or two-tier benching, depending on the size of the sauna and how many people you want to accommodate.
TURN UNUSED SPACE INTO SAUNA
TURN YOUR OLD SHED INTO A SAUNA
Already have a shed? You may already have the shell of your new backyard sauna.
Instead of tearing down a usable shed and starting from scratch, Sauna Cedar can transform your existing backyard structure into a warm, professionally finished custom sauna.
We work with as much of the original structure as possible, then upgrade the interior with a fully insulated 2×4 wall system, R12 insulation, sauna-grade thermal vapour barrier foil, proper ventilation gaps, and cedar interior finishing for dependable year-round performance—even through Canadian winters.
Your conversion can include custom two-tier benching, an electric sauna heater, proper intake and exhaust ventilation, interior trim, lighting preparation, heater preparation, and complete sauna finishing. The result is a comfortable, efficient outdoor sauna built inside the structure you already own. A smarter way to build your backyard sauna.
TURN YOUR UNUSED SHOWER INTO A HOME SAUNA
Have an old bathtub you rarely use? Transform that space into a beautiful custom dry sauna.
We remove the existing tub and convert the area into a properly insulated sauna with natural wood interior, custom seating, ventilation, lighting and an electric sauna heater.
It’s a smart way to upgrade your bathroom and enjoy the sauna experience without adding extra space to your home.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF DRY SAUNA
Cardiovascular Health & Circulation
Promotes a Healthier Cardiovascular System: The intense warmth of a traditional sauna naturally increases heart rate and encourages blood vessels to expand. This creates cardiovascular responses similar to certain aspects of moderate physical activity, helping stimulate circulation and support overall heart function.
Supports Healthy Blood Pressure: Regular sauna sessions may contribute to healthier blood pressure by promoting blood vessel relaxation and improving circulation. Research also suggests that repeated heat exposure may help reduce arterial stiffness, allowing blood vessels to respond more efficiently to changes in blood flow.
Improves Blood Circulation: As body temperature rises, blood flow increases toward the skin to help regulate heat. This natural response stimulates the circulatory system, encourages vascular flexibility, and promotes the movement of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
Associated With Better Long-Term Heart Health: Long-term Finnish studies have linked frequent sauna bathing with a lower incidence of certain cardiovascular conditions, including fatal heart events. Individuals using saunas approximately four to seven times weekly showed particularly encouraging associations, although these findings do not establish cause and effect.
May Support Healthy Aging and Longevity: Research has identified an association between consistent sauna use and lower rates of all-cause mortality. While many lifestyle factors contribute to longevity, sauna bathing may be a valuable addition to a balanced, health-conscious routine.
Brain Health, Mental Clarity & Emotional Well-Being
Encourages Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief: Stepping into a warm, peaceful sauna provides an opportunity to disconnect from daily responsibilities and mental distractions. The calming environment and physical effects of warmth may help reduce perceived stress and encourage a greater sense of relaxation.
Supports a More Balanced Mood: Regular sauna bathing can become a restorative personal ritual, offering uninterrupted time to relax and recharge. Many people experience a renewed sense of calm and well-being following a session.
May Support Long-Term Cognitive Health: Research involving Finnish sauna users has found associations between frequent sauna bathing and lower rates of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Although further studies are required to understand these relationships, the findings suggest potential benefits extending beyond cardiovascular health.
Encourages Mental Clarity and Focus: Taking time away from constant stimulation can help create a mental reset. The combination of relaxation, warmth, and post-sauna recovery may leave individuals feeling refreshed, calmer, and better prepared to focus on everyday activities.
Creates a Healthy Mental Wellness Routine: Incorporating sauna sessions into your schedule offers a consistent opportunity for mindfulness, quiet reflection, and personal recovery. Over time, this ritual can become an important part of maintaining a healthy balance between work, responsibilities, and relaxation.
Muscle Recovery, Joint Comfort & Physical Wellness
Helps Relieve Muscle Tension: Sauna heat encourages increased blood flow to muscles while promoting relaxation of tense tissues. This can provide temporary comfort after physical activity, long working hours, or periods of muscular strain.
Soothes Stiff Joints: Gentle heat may help reduce the sensation of joint stiffness and improve comfort during movement. Some research suggests that sauna bathing can provide temporary relief for individuals experiencing symptoms associated with certain forms of arthritis and chronic musculoskeletal discomfort.
Supports Post-Workout Recovery: Following exercise, a sauna session can offer a relaxing environment for tired muscles. The warmth may help ease post-exercise soreness, reduce perceived muscle tightness, and contribute to an overall recovery routine.
Promotes Relaxation and Mobility: Warm muscles and surrounding tissues often feel less tense, potentially making everyday movement more comfortable. Sauna bathing can complement stretching, mobility exercises, and other physical wellness practices.
May Ease Certain Chronic Aches: Studies investigating heat therapy suggest potential benefits for some people experiencing persistent back discomfort, muscular pain, and other chronic pain symptoms. Relief varies between individuals and should not be considered a replacement for medical treatment.
Relaxation, Restorative Sleep & Daily Recovery
Encourages Better Sleep Quality: A sauna session before bedtime may help prepare the body for rest. As the body gradually cools afterward, the temperature change, combined with physical relaxation, may support the natural transition into sleep.
Helps the Body Unwind After a Long Day: Consistent exposure to gentle, controlled heat provides an opportunity to slow down, release physical tension, and transition away from the demands of daily life.
Supports a Consistent Evening Routine: Establishing a regular sauna ritual can encourage healthier relaxation habits. Setting aside dedicated time to disconnect from screens, responsibilities, and distractions may help support more consistent sleep patterns.
Promotes a Sense of Rest and Rejuvenation: The combination of warmth, quiet surroundings, and uninterrupted personal time can leave users feeling physically relaxed and mentally refreshed after each session.
