Can you imagine the beautiful moments of relaxation and leisure you could experience in your very own Finnish sauna? The sale of saunas in Portugal is growing and more and more people are choosing to buy indoor or outdoor saunas.

In addition to moments of relaxation, you'll also enjoy the sauna's many benefits for body and mind. At Saunamo you'll find saunas to buy at the best price-quality ratio. Before you start looking at the different sauna models, here are 7 essential tips you should consider before buying a sauna.

1: Saunas to buy: have a realistic budget

A sauna will greatly enhance your property. This excellent addition to your property must be of high quality if it is to last and add value.

What is your maximum budget for buying a sauna? Be aware that the price of saunas can vary greatly depending on the type (Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and infrared saunas), size and features.

Having a well-defined budget helps you filter the available options and avoid unpleasant surprises. Consider not only the initial purchase cost, but also the installation and maintenance costs. On request, the sauna manufacturer Saunamo will also take care of assembly.

2: Invest in a quality sauna

The quality of the sauna is one of the most important aspects to consider. Opting for a quality sauna can guarantee durability and better performance in the long term.

Research the different materials available and choose those that offer the best thermal insulation and resistance. The finish is important.

Renowned brands such as Saunamo offer saunas with guarantees and support, which can be an important differentiator. If you're going to invest in this type of equipment, don't just look for the best price, as this could force you to spend more in the future. 

3: Find out about the costs and maintenance of the sauna

Keeping your sauna in good condition is crucial to ensuring its longevity and performance.

Find out about the maintenance requirements of the sauna you want to buy. Steam saunas and dry saunas have different maintenance requirements.

Make sure you are prepared to carry out the necessary tasks or that you can count on a professional service to help.  

4: Know the benefits of buying a sauna

Investing in a sauna is synonymous with generating many good health benefits.

Saunas help to detoxify the body, improve blood circulation, relieve stress, lower blood pressure and even improve sleep quality. Knowing these benefits helps you make the most of your investment and choose the sauna that best suits your needs. The treatment you get for your body and mind will be the best investment you can make.

5: Take the available space into account

The space where you intend to install the sauna is a decisive factor. Carefully measure the available area and make sure the sauna you choose fits in well. If you are considering an outdoor sauna, check that the location is suitable in terms of ventilation and weather protection.

The space available also influences the size and capacity of the sauna. If you need help, Saunamo can help. We'll show you the best sauna options for your specific case. Don't hesitate to contact us.

6: Decide what type of sauna you want

There are 3 types of saunas, each with different characteristics:

  • Finnish sauna
  • Turkish bath
  • Infrared sauna

The Finnish sauna provides intense dry heat, ideal for those who prefer high temperatures without humidity. The Turkish bath offers a moist heat experience, with more moderate temperatures and an enveloping sensation of steam. Finally, the infrared sauna uses infrared rays to directly heat the body, providing a softer, more penetrating heat experience, effective for muscle relief and detoxification.

The decision to choose the right sauna should be based on your personal preferences and the specific benefits you are looking for. Whatever you choose, you will always see a reduction in your problems and an improvement in your general health. Check out the different types of sauna in the Saunamo online store

7: Check the capacity and size before buying a sauna

Finally, it is essential to decide on the capacity and size of the sauna. This is directly related to the space available and the number of people who will be using the sauna at the same time. A larger sauna is ideal for families or for those who like to invite friends for sauna sessions. A more compact sauna, on the other hand, may be enough for individuals or a couple.

Also remember that a larger sauna may require more energy to heat, which should be factored into your budget.
