Why the sauna change room is a game changer
Stay Warm Between Sessions
On crisp winter nights or frosty mornings, retreat to a sheltered space where you can relax, recharge, and prepare for your next round – without stepping into the chill outside.
Shelter from Rain
Whether it’s a light drizzle or a sudden downpour, the change room keeps you dry, comfortable in between sauna sessions.
A Place to Connect
Between sessions, the change room becomes a warm, inviting space to talk, laugh, and share the moment – without breaking the flow of your sauna experience.
Added Privacy
Your own dedicated space to change, store towels, robes, sauna hats and other essentials – keeping everything feeling calm and uncluttered.
Airlock Protection
Acting as a thermal and weather barrier, the change room’s front and internal doors work together to block drafts, minimise heat loss, and keep out moisture and harsh elements. The result? Greater comfort, better performance and long-lasting protection for your sauna’s interior.
