While winter is still a ways off, some wanting to purchase of an Almost Heaven Sauna may want to consider a wood-burning sauna stove.  The Wood Burning Stove is a nice option for those wanting a truly natural and traditional sauna experience.  Plus, nothing is more charming than a Barrel Sauna with smoke coming out of the chimney with snow falling all around!

Interior of Barrel Sauna with Wood Burning Stove

The wood-burning feature substitutes a wood stove specially designed for sauna use in place of the standard electric unit.  It allows the sauna to be used in places where there is not access to electric, such as a remote vacation cabin or in situations where the sauna is placed far from the house. 

The wood-burning stove heats in less than an hour, and you can still sprinkle water on the rocks as the rock tray is separated from the fire box.  For more information on the wood-burning heater option, give us a call at 888-355-3050!  Almost Heaven Saunas offer the best and most traditional barrel saunas on the market today!

Almost Heaven Saunas produces the best Barrel Saunas and Barrel Sauna Kits  in the world, right here in the United States!  There are many reasons we make this claim.  To start with, longevity requires experience, and experience creates expertise.  Almost Heaven Saunas has been building quality and superior cooperage saunas for over thirty years; not many manufacturers of ANY products can say that, let alone sauna manufacturers.

Additionally, Almost Heaven Saunas uses the best materials available, making our saunas of exceptional quality. Compare the quality of other sauna manufacturers and you will notice the clear, rich color of the high-grade Western Canadian Red Cedar used in every Almost Heaven Sauna.  We also use only high-grade stainless steel in all of our hardware and accents, and each sauna is hand-built by experienced craftsman.

Our genuine Finnish Sauna Heaters are properly sized to the specific sauna room to create the perfect genuine steam sauna experience.  We also offer a full range of accessories to compliment and enhance your sauna experience.

The dictionary defines a COOPER as “a person who makes or repairs casks, barrels, etc.”,  and the term COOPERAGE refers to “the work or business of a cooper.”  Almost Heaven Saunas manufactures traditional steam saunas in the cooperage tradition, which means our saunas are built similar to barrels or casks. We are proud coopers! Barrels are built from staves that are notched with a “croze,” that enables the two ends to fit within the stave.  Bands are placed around the barrel and tightened, drawing the staves to the ends in a tight seal free of fasteners.

The cooperage process makes for a beautiful and seamless construction method, and one which Almost Heaven Saunas has been doing for over thirty years.  All of our saunas, including the Barrel Sauna, Modern Sauna and Silo Sauna are all built in the cooperage tradition.  Our experience and hand-crafted manufacture combine to make a sauna of superior cooperage that is unmatched by any others in the industry today.

Take a close look at the saunas and information on our web site and you will see what makes an Almost Heaven Sauna so special.  If you are considering a true wet and dry steam sauna, then look no further than the exceptional quality of an Almost Heaven Cooperage Sauna!

The Deluxe Ellipse Barrel Sauna

There is a reason why true sauna lovers choose the ELLIPSE BARREL SAUNA by Almost Heaven Saunas.  The added height allows for the ideal sauna room temperature, and the duckboard flat-flooring provides added comfort and convenience to the sauna.  If you want to further enhance this ultimate sauna experience, then outfit your Ellipse Sauna with a Combi Sauna Heater from Tylo! 

COMBI heaters offer a steam/ sauna combination with built in electronic controls that are top side on the heater.  They create the most versatility of any sauna heater allowing you to have a dry, wet, steam, or herbal aroma therapy experience. The heater has a built in drying feature to remove the moisture from the room. A programmable 10 hour pre-set timer and a manual fill, manual drain system make this heater a popular choice.

Almost Heaven Saunas offers one of the most beautiful and effective 2-person saunas on the market today.  The Silo Sauna is the only sauna of it’s kind, taking the barrel design and making it into an upright configuration.  This designs requires only a 54″ footprint, making the Silo the ideal home sauna.  Of course, like all Almost Heaven Saunas, the Silo can be placed indoors or outdoors because of the weather-resisent Western Canadian Red Cedar and stainless steel hardware and accents.

Outdoor Setting for Silo Sauna

The Silo Sauna allows two people to sit side-by-side in comfort on beautifully crafted red cedar benches.  The cylindrical shape reduces dead airspace, allowing the Silo Sauna to heat quickly with the standard 4.5kw electric heater.  This genuine steam sauna will be a great addition to healthy living, helping you lose weight, relieve sore joints and provide respiratory benefits.

Almost Heaven Saunas has been producing quality barrel and superior cooperage style saunas in Renick, West Virginia for over 30 years.  We are the world leader in quality, hand-crafted saunas, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss a sauna purchase with you!  Call us at 888-355-3050, or email at info@almostheaven.com!

After market safety door lock

We periodically get requests for locking devices for Almost Heaven Saunas.  Since our glass doors have tension adjustable hinges, they close automatically and there is no need for a locking device.  However, in cases where the owner wants to prevent access to the sauna from the outside, there are options. 

A very effective locking device is the one shown here.  It – or a version of it – is available at most hardware stores and it is an easy lock to install after your sauna is built.  The only time a sauna should be locked is when you want to prevent access from the outside, and in no instance should the sauna be locked when in use.

While building exceptional cedar saunas is our primary business, we do find ourselves drawn to new and creative products from time to time! Such is the case with our latest product, and Almost Heaven Saunas is pleased to present our new Mini Wine Barrel, which begins production in the coming weeks.

This hand-crafted wine storage unit is built in the same cooperage tradition as our beautiful Barrel Sauna Kits, and is an exquisite accent to any room.  The Mini Wine Barrel will hold 16 bottles of wine in the cubby compartments plus additional wine or accessories in the perimeter sections.  There is storage for 6 wine glasses as well.  The Mini Wine Barrel is designed to sit on the floor or serve

Custom Almost Heaven Hot Tub

While the woodend hot tub craze of the 1970′s has ended, there are still those who prefer the charm and natural look of a wooden hot tub.  Most people don’t know this, but Almost Heaven Saunas were among the first to build wooden hot tubs prior to the development of fiberglass spas in the late 1970′s.  Our current line of Barrel Saunas evolved from the original hot tub, since the concept is basically a round wooden hot tub turned on end.

While it is not a part of our standard product offering, we do build a few wooden hot tubs each year on a custom basis.  We do not provide and plumbing and accessory items for these tubs, but we are happy to provide direction as to where these items can be obtained.  The wooden hot tubs we build are quite elegant and achieve the same level of exceptional quality as our sauna models.  Contact us at info@almostheaven.com if you would like some pictures of our wooden hot tubs sent to you.  Or call us at 888-355-3050 if you are interested in a custom-built wooden hot tub!
