Electric or Wood-Fired Sauna: Which Is Right for You?
Two distinct ways to heat an outdoor sauna. A clear comparison to help you choose the right ritual for your garden.
An electric heater is simple, precise and ready at the turn of a dial. It is a practical choice when you want consistent heat, easy temperature control and no firewood to store.
A wood-fired stove creates a slower, more elemental experience. The ritual of laying the fire, the scent of the timber and the gentle sound of the stove become part of the session itself.
The right choice depends on your garden, your preferred rhythm and the connection available to your sauna. We can help you compare both options and arrange a Part P registered electrician for an electric model where required.
Whichever heater you choose, every Glô House outdoor sauna is crafted in Thermowood and designed to become a lasting part of your garden.
