Build and Quality Differences
What Makes Us Proud:
7-layers wall system
A sauna isn’t just about looks — it’s about what’s behind the walls. Most ordinary saunas use 1-2 layers at best, leaving gaps in insulation, moisture control, or structural integrity. At North Country Saunas, we engineered a 7-layer system that protects your investment from the inside out.
Our exclusive 7-layer wall system delivers unmatched heat retention, moisture protection, and lasting comfort - a build quality not found in other saunas.
Moisture Protection – Multiple vapor barriers stop steam from penetrating where it doesn’t belong, preventing rot and mold.
Superior Insulation – Precision-layered materials keep heat where it should be, improving energy efficiency and reducing wood or electric use.
Structural Strength – Layered framing and sheathing add rigidity, preventing warping or settling over years of heat cycles.
Heat Retention – Dense layering means your sauna heats faster, stays hotter longer, and delivers stable sessions without constant reheating.
Longevity Built In – With the right materials in the right order, your sauna lasts decades, not years.
This isn’t overbuilding. It’s the science of sauna performance—and it’s why NCS saunas feel different, work better, and hold their value.
Our saunas are built to last a lifetime, with your wellness and safety in mind! That's how we build things in North Country!
The stove is the heart of every sauna — but not all stoves are built the same. Many cheaper or mass-produced stoves hold few or no rocks, which creates sharp, unstable heat and weak steam.
At North Country Saunas, we believe the difference is in the thermal mass. A stove with a large rock capacity stores and radiates heat evenly, allowing for:
-
Gentler, more consistent heat that penetrates deeper without burning the skin.
-
Richer steam bursts when water hits the rocks, creating the authentic löyly experience.
-
Better humidity control, so you can balance dry heat with steam to your preference.
-
Improved recovery & detox, since stable heat allows longer, more effective sessions.
-
Less fluctuation when the door opens or fresh air circulates.
Choosing the right stove isn’t just about heating up a room — it’s about creating the true sauna experience.
