Saunas for the space you've got
Salty Saunas started with one awkward cupboard under the stairs and no sauna that fitted it. So we design made-to-measure saunas for Australian homes: under the stairs, in the spare room and out the back. Every one is drawn to your numbers, built to size and installed by licensed local trades.
Saunas
Saunas made to measure
Every Salty sauna is named for the coast. Start from one, then change any measurement to fit your space.
Models
Sloped ceilings, sorted.
Most saunas need a flat 2-metre ceiling. Ours follow the line of your stairs, so you use the full height at one end and keep your legs at the other.
- Give us the tall end and the low end
- Pick which way it slopes
- Seating goes where the headroom is
Infrared or traditional?
Both are built to your measurements. The right one depends on your ceiling, your power and how you like your heat.
How they heat
Infrared warms you directly. Traditional heats the air, and you can pour water on the rocks for steam.
Infrared45–60 °C
Traditional70–90 °C
Room they need
Infrared suits low and sloped ceilings, so it's the usual pick under stairs.
InfraredCeilings from about 1,500 mm
TraditionalAbout 1,900 mm at the heater
Warm-up time
How long from switching on to ready.
Infrared10–15 minutes
Traditional30–45 minutes
Power
Both are connected by a licensed electrician. We confirm your circuit in the quote.
InfraredOften a dedicated circuit
TraditionalUsually hardwired

Last step
Get your fixed quote
Your design comes with this form. We check the measurements and email you one fixed price with a drawing. We may ask for a couple of photos of the space.
Change the designHow it works
From tape measure to first sweat
Everything happens online. Nobody needs to visit your home until the install.
Eight steps, one fixed price
Step 1
Measure your space
Width, depth and height at the tallest point. If the ceiling slopes, measure the low side too. It takes about ten minutes with a tape measure.
Step 2
Design it online
Enter your numbers in the designer, then choose infrared or traditional heat and your timber. The 3D preview updates as you go.
Step 3
Send it with photos
Send your design with your contact details. We reply asking for a few photos of the space, the floor and the nearest power point.
Step 4
We check and quote
A real person checks your measurements against your photos, then emails one fixed price with a drawing of your sauna.
Step 5
Built to your size
Approve the drawing and pay a deposit. Your cabin is cut to your measurements, with a lead time of 8–12 weeks.
Step 6
Delivered flat-packed
We confirm your delivery date ahead of time. Everything arrives flat-packed and labelled for assembly.
Step 7
Installed and connected
Licensed local trades assemble it in about a day, and a licensed electrician connects it.
Step 8
First session
We show you how to run it, look after the timber and get the most out of every session.
What we need from you
This is everything we need to fix your price without a site visit.
Four measurements
Width, depth, height at the tall end and height at the low end.
A few photos
The whole space, the floor and any stairs above it.
Where the power is
The nearest power point or switchboard, so the electrician can plan the circuit.
How we get in
Doorways, hallways and stairs between your front door and the space.
How to measure
- A
Width. Along the wall, from the lowest usable point under the stairs to the wall or door frame at the tall end.
- B
Height. Floor to the underside of the stairs at the tallest point you will use.
- C
Low side. Floor to the underside of the stairs at the short end. Under about 1,100 mm suits storage, not seating.
- D
Depth. Back wall to where the door will sit. Allow for skirting boards and any light switch.

FAQ
Questions & answers
The things people ask most before they measure up.
Common questions
Do you come out to measure?
No. You measure, we check. Your numbers and a few photos are enough for us to confirm the fit and fix the price. If anything looks off, we ask before we build.
What if my measurements are slightly out?
We build each cabin slightly under your numbers so it slides into place. If a measurement doesn't match your photos, we flag it before production starts.
How long does it take?
8–12 weeks from deposit to install. Most of that is building and shipping. Fitting takes about a day.
What power does it need?
That depends on the heater. Many infrared builds run on a dedicated circuit, and traditional heaters usually need a hardwired circuit. A licensed electrician connects every install.
Where do you deliver?
Tell us your postcode in the quote form and we'll confirm delivery and installation for your area.
Can it go outside?
Yes. Outdoor builds add a weatherproof roof and cladding, and need a level concrete pad or deck.
