A sauna that fits the house, not the other way round
Most Sydney homes don’t have a spare square room waiting for a kit sauna. Spaces are tight, ceilings slope, and the sauna often has to share a wall with a bathroom, laundry or garage.
We start with the space you have. Every TimberHaus sauna is drawn to the millimetre, with bench layout, heater position, lighting and ventilation planned together. The timber is cut and finished in our workshop, then installed on site by the same team.
The result is a sauna that looks like it was always part of the home and heats the way it should.

Sydney sauna questions
How much does a custom sauna cost in Sydney?
It depends on size, heat type, timber and how much building work the space needs. Every TimberHaus sauna is quoted to your room. The quickest way to a ballpark is the two-minute sauna planner, and we’ll come back with options for your budget.
How long does it take?
Most home saunas take 4–8 weeks from first consultation to installation. Installation on site usually takes days, not weeks, because the sauna is made in our workshop first.
Can you fit a sauna into an existing bathroom or spare room?
Yes. Ensuites, spare bedrooms, under-stair spaces, garages and home gyms are all common. We design around sloping ceilings, windows and shared walls.
Traditional or infrared – which is better?
Traditional saunas heat the air and stones for a hotter, more social experience with steam. Infrared warms you directly at a lower air temperature. Hybrid saunas give you both. We’ll help you choose based on how you’ll use it.
What power does a home sauna need?
Most traditional heaters need a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. We specify the heater and its supply requirements during design so your electrician knows exactly what’s needed.
Do I need council approval?
It depends on the project. An indoor sauna within an existing home is often internal work, while outdoor saunas may need approval depending on size and placement. We’ll flag what’s likely needed early and work with your builder or certifier.
