What We Build
What is a Custom Infrared Sauna?
A custom infrared sauna is a professionally designed and built sauna room that uses far-infrared radiant heat panels to warm the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air. Unlike traditional saunas that reach 160 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit, infrared saunas operate between 120 and 150 degrees, making them gentler, more tolerable for longer sessions, and more energy efficient.
Asheville Custom Saunas is a custom infrared sauna builder and installer serving Asheville, NC and Western North Carolina. We build low-EMF far-infrared saunas from scratch using premium cedar and hemlock, with panel configurations, bench layouts, and room dimensions designed specifically for your space. Every build is managed in-house from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.
Infrared saunas are especially popular with Asheville's active community of hikers, trail runners, and cyclists who want a daily recovery tool that is easy to use and comfortable enough for long sessions.
We install low-EMF far-infrared panels that heat the body directly for deep tissue penetration without the intense air heat of a traditional sauna.
No kits. Every infrared sauna is custom framed, insulated, paneled, and finished to your exact dimensions and specifications.
Premium Western red cedar and hemlock walls and benching chosen for moisture resistance, heat performance, and longevity.
Infrared saunas use significantly less electricity than traditional electric heaters, making them ideal for daily use without high running costs.
We manage all permitting and coordinate licensed electricians for panel wiring and circuit installation.
We come to you. No showroom, no walk-ins. All consultations at your home at no charge.

Client Reviews
What Asheville Homeowners Say
"They built an infrared sauna in our spare bedroom. The low temperature is perfect for daily use and I can stay in much longer than a traditional sauna. The cedar walls and bench quality are excellent."
"I trail run almost every day and the infrared sauna has been a game changer for recovery. They handled the permits and the electrician. It was done in two days and works exactly as described."
"We use the infrared sauna three or four times a week. The energy cost is much lower than we expected. The build quality is solid and the hemlock interior looks beautiful. Very happy with the whole project."
A custom infrared sauna is a professionally designed and built sauna room that uses far-infrared radiant heat panels to warm the body directly. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures between 120 and 150 degrees, making them gentler and more suitable for daily use and longer sessions.
A traditional sauna heats the air to 160 to 195 degrees using an electric or wood-burning heater. An infrared sauna uses radiant panels to warm the body directly at 120 to 150 degrees. Infrared saunas are gentler, more energy efficient, and easier to tolerate for longer sessions. Traditional saunas offer the classic high-heat experience with optional steam from pouring water on rocks.

Infrared heat penetrates deeper into muscle tissue than conventional heat, making it particularly effective for post-activity recovery. Many of our clients who hike the Appalachian Trail or run the Pisgah trails use their infrared sauna within an hour of returning home. The lower temperature and longer session tolerance make it easy to fit into a daily routine.
