Every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® has a ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating beneath the walkable area. Tiles hold the cold, and because heat rises the floor is the slowest part of any sauna to warm up — which you may notice most in January, stepping in barefoot (it’s like stepping onto blocks of ice). The heated section takes that edge off before you’ve sat down.

The floor heating runs on its own control system, mounted at the rear of the sauna, with app control available so you can heat the floor up when it’s convenient for you.

Why is there a drain under the heater?

Because of löyly — the Finnish practice of ladling water slowly over the hot stones to produce steam, which is what turns a hot room into a sauna. Not all of that water flashes to steam; some runs off the stones and down onto the floor. In a luxury outdoor sauna with a tiled floor, that water needs somewhere to go, so we’ve put a drain directly beneath the heater.

Upgrade your sauna glass to Mirror Tint, a sleek way to help your sauna blend into its surroundings.

The mirror tint can provide additional privacy, but note, this isn’t applicable in all lighting conditions. The mirror effect is reliant on light balance, as the light balance changes, so does the transparency of the glass.

With the full panoramic glass front, sitting down on the bench can feel like there’s nothing between you and your garden — who knew a sauna could be the best way to enjoy your outside space. The glass runs from the floor past the ceiling line, so the view is uninterrupted. Sit back and take in the night sky.

It’s a considered piece of design, but the reasoning is practical. A luxury outdoor sauna with a full glass front puts you in your garden rather than shut away from it, and the seasons become part of the session — low winter sun, rain running down the glass, a clear night in autumn.

Mirror tint is available as an option, giving the exterior a reflective finish that helps the sauna blend in within its surroundings. It can also add improved daytime privacy.

Please note: mirror tint glass enhances privacy in certain lighting conditions but does not provide complete privacy. Visibility may vary depending on lighting conditions, including internal lighting and direct sunlight.

Every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® is supplied with a HUUM heater and control system, matched to the size of the sauna. The Signature 200 and Signature 240 are designed around the 9kW HUUM Drop, which runs on a 40A single-phase supply — an arrangement many UK homes can accommodate without upgrading the incoming service. The larger Signature 300 takes the 15kW HUUM Hive, which requires a three-phase supply. Both heaters are a considered piece of design in their own right, sitting within the interior of a luxury outdoor sauna.

Control comes through the HUUM black glass panel, paired with the heater and connected over Wifi to the HUUM app. You can start the sauna heater from anywhere in the world providing that your sauna is connected to Wifi and you have internet connection on your phone. You can even set schedules so it heats up at times that are convenient for you, and even set the HUUM heaters to run for a fixed duration. A door sensor is fitted as standard with every HUUM installation, preventing the heater from engaging while the door sits open.

We’ve been selling saunas a long time, but this is the first time we’ve seen a sauna with a door like this! The Signature Saunas by EIRA® have a proper, thick door that is housed inside a metal frame and even includes a brace at the top to stop the door from swinging all the way open.

You might think that this door is overkill, and for many people it could very well be. But, as this sauna has been designed to be suitable for commercial use, as well as domestic use, it needed a door that was very stable.

The door also offers a tight seal, helping to improve efficiency by keeping the heat in and the cold out.

Not only that, the door is also lockable, helping to prevent against unwanted use. The door is also unlock-able from the inside of the sauna.

Every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® is insulated with 50mm rigid PIR board through the walls and ceiling. PIR holds heat well for its thickness, which improves the efficiency of a luxury outdoor sauna and helps it hold temperature between sessions. The board is aluminium-faced, adding a further layer of resistance to moisture behind the cladding.

The electrical enclosure on every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® is recessed into the rear wall and lockable. Recessing it keeps the exterior looking clean, so there’s no box protruding from the back of the sauna where it would sit in view from the house or the garden.

The lock restricts access to the electrical components, which matters on a luxury outdoor sauna in a domestic garden and matters more on a commercial site, where an enclosure that anyone can open is a liability.

Every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® includes a built-in Bluetooth sound system with two speakers. Connect a phone to the Bluetooth system and play your favourite songs and control the volume from your phone.

Some people want music in the sauna, some want silence, you may even want to experience both during a single session. Having the system fitted as standard in this luxury outdoor sauna means the choice is yours every time you use the sauna.

How is a Signature sauna delivered and installed?

Every Signature outdoor sauna by EIRA® is built and finished at the factory, then delivered and lifted into position as a single complete unit. The specification is what drives this — the heated tiled floor alone takes several days to lay and cure, and the wall build-up, glazing and electrical housing are all integrated during construction rather than assembled around you in your garden. Building on site would mean a part-finished sauna standing open to the weather for weeks.

Delivery is therefore by crane, and suitable crane access will be required. If you’re unsure whether your property has sufficient access, let us know and we’ll look into it for you. Units are packaged for transit, and because the structure sits on a steel frame engineered for lifting, the same method allows the sauna to be repositioned later if you move house or change your mind about the spot — provided the right equipment and access are available.

Is the crane included in the price?

No. Crane hire is arranged and paid for separately, direct to the crane company. We can source a suitable operator on your behalf, or you’re welcome to arrange your own — either way, the cost sits outside the price of the sauna.

What base does it need?

We recommend a level concrete pad capable of taking the weight of a luxury outdoor sauna of this construction. Adjustable stainless steel legs are built into the frame to take up small variations, so a pad that isn’t perfectly true won’t hold up the installation.
