Barrel Saunas vs Cabin Saunas: Which One Is Right for You?
Share
When choosing a handcrafted sauna, one of the first decisions you'll face is the shape: barrel or cabin? At The Sauna Craft Co., we offer both, and each has its own unique charm.
Barrel Saunas
With their distinctive rounded shape, barrel saunas are not just visually striking, they're functional too. The curved design promotes excellent heat circulation and faster warm-up times, making them energy-efficient. They’re also ideal for outdoor spaces, easy to install, and naturally shed rain and snow thanks to their arched roof.
Best for: Outdoor use, quick heat-up, and those who want a compact, efficient sauna with a rustic aesthetic.
Cabin Saunas
Cabin saunas have a more traditional rectangular build, offering flexibility in layout and interior space. They’re perfect for those who want a spa-like feel with added room to stretch out, install multiple benches, or customise with extra features.
Best for: Larger groups, more interior space, and a classic, lodge-style looks, suitable for both indoor and outdoor placement.
The Bottom Line
Both styles offer exceptional relaxation and wellness benefits. Your choice comes down to space, style, and how you envision your sauna experience. Need help deciding? We’re here to guide you.
