VARA 220 x 150 | Indoor Traditional Sauna

Light shapes how a space feels, and inside an indoor sauna it matters more than most people expect. Every VARA indoor traditional sauna by EIRA® carries concealed LED lighting set behind the backrest, so the source stays hidden and the light washes gently up the timber rather than glaring down at you. It’s a large part of why the cabin photographs the way it does — a soft, warm glow that lifts the natural grain of the wood and makes the space somewhere you actually want to linger, a world away from the flat overhead lighting of a standard indoor sauna.

Behind the timber of every VARA indoor traditional sauna by EIRA® sits a full 50mm layer of rockwool insulation. It’s a straightforward efficiency measure: better-insulated walls mean the cabin comes up to temperature more readily and holds it more steadily once there, so the heater works less to maintain the session and you spend less time waiting to get in. Rockwool also brings a useful secondary benefit — it adds a degree of acoustic buffering between the cabin and the room around it, which is worth having when an indoor sauna sits alongside a busy gym floor or studio.

Commercial & High-Traffic Use

The VARA indoor traditional sauna by EIRA® is designed to hold up in commercial settings — gyms, health clubs, wellness centres, spas, hotels, physiotherapy clinics and recovery studios where a sauna runs long hours and sees a steady stream of users.

What makes it suited to commercial use?

Three things, mainly. The first is the timber. VARA cabins are clad in 15mm non-thermally treated Alder, chosen specifically because it can be sanded back and refreshed far more readily than thermally modified wood. Scratches, scuffs and marks are unavoidable in a busy facility, and a cabin that can be brought back to looking new is a very different proposition to one where every mark is permanent. For a commercial operator, that’s the difference between a sauna that ages badly and one that stays presentable across years of service.

The second is the build. A full 50mm of rockwool insulation means the cabin reaches temperature more readily and holds it more steadily, which matters when a sauna is running through an entire opening day rather than an hour at a time. A foil vapour barrier protects the frame from moisture, and the tongue and groove cladding is fitted with deliberate gaps so the timber can expand and contract without buckling.

The third is how it looks. Integrated LED lighting behind the backrest gives the cabin a soft, warm glow, and a sauna that photographs well earns its place in your marketing as well as your facility.

Can VARA saunas be customised for our space?

Yes. Dimensions can be built to suit a specific room, and both the internal timber and the external colour finish can be changed on request. Bespoke specification does carry a higher cost than a standard unit, so it’s worth discussing your requirements early — we’ll give you a clear price before anything is committed.
