Buying a sauna at Fonteyn
A sauna turns the garden or a spare room into a personal retreat. Warmth eases tired muscles, helps you unwind and rounds off the day in the best way. Fonteyn designs its own saunas, from compact cabins for two to spacious family models, in traditional, infrared, hybrid and barrel styles. Every model is built from quality timber with reliable heaters, ready for indoor or outdoor use.

At the UK’s Biggest Outdoor Living Showroom in Leicester, traditional, infrared, hybrid and barrel saunas stand side by side, so you can compare the feel and the finish and talk it through with a Fonteyn specialist, who will advise on placement, heaters and installation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an infrared and a traditional sauna?
A traditional, or Finnish, sauna heats the air to a high temperature and lets you create steam by pouring water over the stones. An infrared sauna warms the body directly at a gentler temperature, is ready faster and is easy on running costs. A hybrid offers both in one cabin.
How hot does a sauna get?
A traditional sauna typically runs between 70 and 90 degrees, while an infrared sauna feels gentler at around 45 to 60 degrees because it warms the body directly. The right choice comes down to the experience you prefer.
Can a sauna be placed outdoors?
Yes. Many Fonteyn saunas, including the barrel saunas, are built for outdoor use with weather-resistant timber. Indoor models are also available. The Fonteyn team will advise on the best spot and any groundwork needed.
What power supply does a sauna need?
It depends on the heater. Smaller infrared saunas often run from a standard socket, while larger traditional saunas may need a dedicated supply. A specialist will confirm the requirements for each model before delivery.
How often can I use a sauna?
A sauna can be enjoyed as often as you like, from a daily wind-down to a weekend treat. Many people find a session of 10 to 20 minutes is plenty. Listen to your body and stay hydrated.
What is a barrel sauna?
A barrel sauna is a rounded outdoor cabin that heats quickly and makes a real feature of the garden. The curved shape circulates heat efficiently. Fonteyn offers barrel saunas in several sizes.
What is included with delivery?
Fonteyn arranges delivery and will talk through assembly and placement. Most models are in stock, and spare parts and support are usually available the next working day.
