What We Build
A custom indoor sauna is a professionally designed and built sauna room installed inside your home. Unlike pre-built kits, a custom indoor sauna is framed, insulated, paneled, and finished entirely to your specifications by a skilled local team.
Asheville Custom Saunas is a custom indoor sauna builder and installer serving Asheville, NC and Western North Carolina. We build every sauna from scratch using premium cedar and hemlock, with layouts designed around your specific space, lifestyle, and how you plan to use it. Every project is managed in-house from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.
Common install locations include basements, bathrooms, spare rooms, master suites, and dedicated wellness spaces. If your space has adequate square footage and access to a 240-volt circuit, we can almost certainly build there.
No kits. Every indoor sauna is framed, insulated, and finished to your exact dimensions.
Premium Western red cedar and hemlock chosen for moisture resistance, heat performance, and longevity.
Proper vapor barriers and insulation engineered for Asheville's mountain humidity and temperature swings.
We manage all permitting and coordinate licensed electricians for heater wiring.
Upper and lower bench layouts, glass doors, built-in lighting, and accessories designed as part of your build.
We come to you. No showroom, no walk-ins. All consultations at your home at no charge.

Client Reviews
"We had a four-person cedar sauna built in our basement last fall. The build took two days and came out exactly as designed. We use it every night in the winter."
"We converted a spare room into a dedicated sauna space with hemlock walls and a glass door. They handled the permits and electrician. The quality of the wood and bench work is excellent."
"They built a two-person cedar sauna in a corner of my master bath. The fit and finish is clean and it heats up fast. Very happy with how the project came together."

Most custom indoor sauna installations take one to three days of active construction. The full project timeline from consultation to completed install is typically three to six weeks, including design approval, permitting, and scheduling.
In most cases yes. Indoor sauna installations that involve electrical work or structural changes typically require permits from the City of Asheville or Buncombe County. We handle the permitting process on your behalf as part of our full-service installation.
Western red cedar is the most popular choice. It is naturally antimicrobial, handles heat and humidity cycles without warping, and develops a rich aromatic character. Hemlock is a great alternative with a cleaner, lighter look. We discuss the best option for your goals during the consultation.
