FAQ - All You Need To Know!

How much does it cost to build a sauna in Nashville?

Pricing depends on size, materials, heating system, and complexity of installation. Average ranges in Middle Tennessee are:

* Indoor saunas: $7,000–$12,000+

* Outdoor saunas: $9,000–$18,000+

* Infrared or hybrid units: $6,500–$14,000+

* Prefab installation: $1,500–$4,000 depending on site and electrical needs

Every project is quoted individually during your consultation so you’ll have a clear, upfront estimate before any work begins.

What should I think about before building a custom sauna?

When planning your sauna, several important factors come into play:

* Location: Indoor room, basement, or outdoor backyard space

* Heat source: Electric, infrared, or wood-burning

* Size and seating: One-person retreat or multi-user space

* Wood type: Cedar, hemlock, or spruce

* Design details: Lighting, benches, windows, glass doors, or sound systems

* Ventilation & safety: Proper airflow and electrical compliance

At Nashville Custom Saunas, we walk you through each step with design consultations and 3D models so your sauna is functional, safe, and perfectly suited to your home.

Can I customize features like lights and sound?

Absolutely. Many Nashville clients upgrade their saunas with modern features, including:

* LED lighting or full-spectrum chromotherapy

* Built-in Bluetooth speakers

* Salt walls or Himalayan salt panels

* Glass fronts or viewing windows

* Smart thermostats and digital controls

We integrate these features during the design phase so your sauna is both functional and enjoyable.

What makes having a sauna at home worth it?

A home sauna provides more than just relaxation. For Nashville homeowners, it’s a year-round wellness tool that supports stress relief, muscle recovery, improved circulation, better sleep, and detoxification. Having your own unit means no spa memberships, no travel time, and a completely private space designed for your schedule.

Indoor saunas work well for basements, master bathrooms, or home gyms, while outdoor models create backyard retreats perfect for Tennessee evenings. Either way, you gain a long-term investment in both wellness and property value.

Can you install saunas I’ve already purchased?

Yes. If you’ve ordered a prefab or pre-built sauna kit, we can handle the entire installation. Our team ensures proper assembly, leveling, ventilation, and heater setup so everything works safely from day one.

Not sure which unit to buy? We also consult with homeowners before they purchase, helping them choose the right size and style for their property and budget.

Is it safe to use a sauna regularly?

Yes—when designed and installed properly, saunas are safe for most people. We only use sauna-certified woods, ensure correct ventilation, and install GFCI-protected circuits for electrical safety.

That said, it’s always best to check with your doctor if you have existing health conditions, heart concerns, or if you’re pregnant. We also provide a full orientation after installation so you can use your sauna safely and confidently.

Which is better: infrared or traditional sauna heat?

Both have unique advantages.

* Traditional saunas (electric or wood-burning): Heat the air to higher temps, creating a deep sweat and classic experience.

* Infrared saunas: Use infrared panels to warm the body directly at lower air temperatures, popular for pain relief, muscle recovery, and energy efficiency.

If you can’t decide, hybrid systems allow you to switch between both styles.
