Sauna Cabins & Sauna Houses — UK
The room-like end of the range. A sauna cabin gives you more than a hot box: a changing room to leave clothes and towels, a covered terrace to cool down under, and in one case a screened outdoor shower — so the whole hot-cold-rest cycle happens without going back indoors.
These are the saunas people use in February. A separate changing room means the hot room stays hot when someone comes and goes, and somewhere sheltered to sit between rounds is the difference between a sauna you use twice a month and one you use twice a week.
What sets a cabin apart
-
Two or three separate spaces — hot room, changing room, covered terrace, rather than one room with a door.
-
Heavier construction — up to 70 mm solid logs or 100 mm insulation, against 42 mm on a standard cabin.
-
Built to stay — these read as garden buildings, not garden equipment, and they hold their value accordingly.
The Honka range — Estonian sauna cabins
Our own cabin range, built in Estonia and delivered UK-wide. Wall thickness varies deliberately across it, and we state it per product rather than generalising:
-
Honka 180 — the compact one at 2.19 × 2.33 m, 2–3 person. Fits where a barrel will not.
-
Honka 215 — full glass front wall, alder benches, and usually held in stock for quick despatch.
-
Honka 200 — 70 mm solid log with a covered porch. The thickest wall we sell.
-
Honka 210 Panorama — full-height glazing wrapping the corner.
-
Honka 215 Terrace — covered terrace under the same roof, 4.41 m long.
-
Honka 215 Lobby — enclosed entrance room, so the hot room stays hot.
-
Honka 345 — 45 mm log, partitioned into a hot room and changing room, 4–6 person.
-
Timo 320 — two rooms and a covered porch, in 50 mm or 70 mm log.
-
Eero 367 — 3.67 m of solid 70 mm log with a changing room.
The detail worth knowing: the roof
Heat rises, so the roof is where a sauna loses it. The Timo and Eero cabins include an insulated roof element over the sauna section — 12 mm boards, 50 mm ISOVER insulation, 12 mm boards. Most cabins at this size have boarded roofs and nothing more.
One thing we would rather say plainly: on those two models the manufacturer supplies the roof boards and the insulated element, but the roof covering itself is not included. Tell us when you order and we will quote shingles with the build rather than leave you to source them.
Cabin sauna FAQs
Do I need a changing room?
Not strictly, but it changes how often you use the sauna in winter. Without one, the hot room loses heat every time the door opens, and wet clothes have nowhere to go.
What base does a sauna cabin need?
A proper load-bearing base — a concrete slab or well-laid paving. Log cabins here run to 950 kg before a heater goes in, and a fully assembled sauna house is heavier still. Compacted gravel alone is not enough.
Flat-pack or pre-assembled?
Most arrive flat-packed and go through a standard side gate, built in a day or two. One model is delivered fully assembled as a single unit — the simplest installation there is, but it needs vehicle or crane access wide enough for the building. Send us photographs of your access route and we will tell you honestly which is realistic.
