Thermally Modified Wood

Thermal modification is a chemical-free process that enhances real woodโ€”providing unmatched strength, stability, and better insulation.

Thickness and Strength

At 40mm, the staves provide one of the thickest walls you’ll ever see in a Barrel Sauna. These supremely thick walls provide unparalleled insulation, stability, and a barrier from outside noise.

Responsible wood sourcing

Thermory carefully monitors where the wood comes from. They only source the best quality wood from sustainably managed forests around the world. This helps reduce the negative impact of deforestation.

What types of sauna heaters can I use in a barrel sauna?

You can choose between electric sauna heaters or wood-fired sauna heaters, depending on your preference and power availability. Both options are compatible with our outdoor barrel saunas and can be tailored to your specific sauna model. Should you choose an electric heater, youโ€™ll require a qualified electrician to install it.

Can a barrel sauna be moved after installation?

European-made barrel saunas are widely regarded as the benchmark for quality, craftsmanship and design. Unlike mass-produced alternatives โ€“ often built with lower-grade materials and minimal oversight โ€“ our exclusive Auroom European barrel saunas stand apart thanks to:

  • Sustainably sourced premium timbers selected for elite performance
  • Meticulous craftsmanship from experts who live and breathe sauna culture
  • Compliance with rigorous European safety and performance standards

I bought a barrel sauna from SDS and Iโ€™m super impressed with their service and after-sales support. They walked me through the installation, and I just wanted to give a big thanks to the team for always picking up my endless calls and accommodating my last-minute changes. Overall, weโ€™re really happy with the service and the quality of the sauna. The Harvia M3 heater we chose is also fantastic!

We purchased a sauna barrel from SDS Australiaโ€™s Sauna Experts with a unique twist โ€“ instead of using it for traditional sauna purposes, we transformed it into a serene treatment room for use of Acoustic Resonance bed. The barrel’s distinctive shape contributes to a wonderfully relaxing environment, complemented by our own custom lighting arrangement and a scenic view to the National Park. Everyone who has seen this setup is amazed by the barrel’s aesthetics and functionality, as well as the aroma of the wood. It is unique. SDS Australia provided excellent support throughout, ensuring our vision came to life seamlessly. It is our intention to purchase a second barrel to use as a traditional sauna in near future. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking to innovate with sauna barrels!

We recently purchased a barrel sauna for our commercial mobile sauna venture, and we are thrilled with the high-quality sauna from SDS Australia. After conducting extensive research on barrel saunas in the Australian market, we found that this product stood out in terms of design, quality, and affordability. The support we have received has been excellent, and we highly recommend both the company and the product. Thank you, guys!
