Invigorating and Healing Scandinavian Sauna

Sauna Jacket

January 29th, 2012

Western Canadian Red Cedar is a soft wood that is naturally resistant to the elements, and as such it is an ideal sauna wood for outdoor saunas.  Furthermore, it looks great treated or left to weather naturally!  Still, some people prefer to keep their sauna looking “new” for a long time, especially if it is in a setting that is not visited frequently, such as a vacation home or remote cabin or lodge.

Over the years we have had several inquires as to whether we have covers or jackets for the Barrel Saunas.  Some people would like to cover their saunas when not in use, both to keep them looking new and also to protect them from outside tampering.

Barrel Sauna Jacket

Almost Heaven Saunas is pleased to introduce our new Sauna Jacket, a high quality vinyl jacket that can be easily fitted over our Barrel Saunas.  The Sauna Jacket is available on a factory-direct basis and can be ordered by calling 888-355-3050.  The 6×5 and 6×6 Sauna Jackets are $299, and the 6×8 Sauna Jacket is $399.

Pool-Side Sauna!

January 14th, 2012

Take a look at this great new Barrel Sauna installation submitted by a new owner in Santa Rosa, CA!  This is the 4-person Almost Heaven Canopy Barrel sauna, and as you can see, the owner added the sauna to his swimming pool setting.

“The Sauna is located in the corner of our yard stealthily tucked in the hedges, after a nice hot sauna we come out and jump in the pool to cool off, awesome!”

Awesome indeed!  A swimming pool or spa is the perfect compliment to the sauna experience.

Visit Almost Heaven Saunas to see the offering of our quality saunas. Almost Heaven Saunas are known for exceptional quality, cooperage-style saunas and have been manufactured in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia for over thirty years!  Almost Heaven Saunas; your source for authentic steam saunas!

New Canopy Barrel Sauna!

June 20th, 2011

Canopy Barrel Sauna

We are pleased to announce an exciting new sauna model that is being launched this month!  The new Canopy Barrel Sauna is a 4-person sauna that has a 5′ room and a 1′ porch extension, making the overall length just 6′, and it is available exclusively through Costco.com

As with all of our Saunas, the new Canopy Barrel incorporates beautiful Western Canadian Red Cedar and stainless steel accents throughout.  This high-quality, hand-crafted sauna can be easily assembled in just a few hours, and is designed for outdoor use.

The health benefits of traditional saunas are numerous and include weight loss, improved circulation, and general relaxation.  Almost Heaven Saunas have been manufactured in the U.S. for over thirty years and are distributed world-wide.  For more information, contact 888-355-3050.

New Install

June 18th, 2011

4-Person Barrel Sauna

Here is a new picture of an install that has taken place in the past few months.  This is our 4-person Barrel Sauna, and it was installed by the new owner at their home.  As with all Almost Heaven Saunas, the Barrel Sauna can easily be assembled in a matter of hours by the home-owner.

I like this particular setting because the owner created an intimate and attractive sauna area close to the house, providing easy access for the daily sauna experience!  Almost Heaven Saunas are designed for outdoor use, and are naturally resistant to the elements.  In this particular installation, the umbrella will help keep the red cedar from bleaching over time, or this can be easily prevented by simply treating the exterior of the sauna with a UV inhibited stain.

Almost Heaven Saunas are manufactured in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia, and are hand-built to exacting quality standards.  Call 888-355-3050 for more information!

New Sauna Design

April 4th, 2011

Upcoming Canopy Barrel

Almost Heaven Saunas is pleased to announce the pending introduction of our new Canopy Barrel Sauna.  This particular sauna model is a budget-priced Canopy that will be offered through exclusive distribution channels. 

Product launch is scheduled for June, 2011, and we will announce the start of production in advance on our website.  Almost Heaven Saunas have been built in West Virginia for over thirty years.  Our high quality steam saunas are sold world-wide through select retailers.  Contact 888-355-3050 for more details, or email us at info@almostheaven.com!

Gas-Fired Sauna Heaters

February 19th, 2011

We are periodically asked if we are able to provide gas- fired heaters for Almost Heaven Saunas. The answer is yes, and they are available in either propane or natural gas configurations.  People most always install our Barrel Saunas outdoors, and in certain applications there is limited access to electrical power.  In such instances a gas-fired heater may be appropriate.  A gas-fired sauna can add up to $2,000 to the price of the sauna kit and also requires added installation work.  However, the outcome is a sauna that is not required to have electrical power and allows you to place the sauna in more remote settings.  For more information, contact Almost Heaven Saunas at 888-355-3050.  Almost Heaven Saunas has been  manufacturing high-quality saunas in Greenbrier County, West Virginia for over thirty years.

Optional Door

December 11th, 2010

Almost Heaven Saunas offers a variety of options and accessories to customize your sauna to your own needs.  One such option is our red cedar wooden door.  This hand-built red cedar door is built of the same high quality lumber as the rest of the sauna and incorporates a window that allows light into the room.

Optional Red Cedar Door

While there is no operational advantage to the wooden door, some people feel it fits in better with the aesthetics of their sauna setting.  Whether you choose the standard glass door or the optional red cedar door, you can be sure that your Almost Heaven Sauna experience will provide a healthy and relaxing aspect to your daily routine!
