Sauna
Saunas for your home or business in Tangerang
We build and install saunas across Greater Tangerang — from cluster homes in BSD City and Gading Serpong to gyms and hotels in Alam Sutera and Karawaci. We work in four types: custom dry saunas, outdoor cabins, infrared, and steam rooms. All with warrantied imported stoves, a written cost estimate, and a 2-year construction warranty.
Custom dry sauna — the top choice for homes
A Finnish dry sauna runs at 70–90°C with low humidity of 10–20%. The heat is "light": your skin sweats quickly but breathing stays easy. The cabin is built to fit your room exactly — a former storage nook, a corner of the master bathroom, or a dedicated wellness room; the most popular size is 2×2 m for four people.

The wall structure is five layers: outer panel, 50 mm rockwool, aluminium foil as a vapor barrier, a 20 mm ventilation gap, then cedar boards. In Tangerang's humidity, which averages 80%, that foil layer and air gap are exactly what separate a sauna that lasts from one that grows mould within 2–3 years. The interior uses imported wood — western red cedar, Scandinavian spruce, or thermowood — and benches of aspen/abachi that never burn the skin. Local hardwoods like ulin and bengkirai we use only for outdoor decks, never the interior.
Outdoor sauna — the garden cabin
For homes with a garden in Citra Raya, Pagedangan, or a corner lot in BSD, an outdoor cabin is the way to add a sauna without gutting the interior. It takes the form of a square cabin with a protective roof — essential in Tangerang, where heavy rain and tropical UV destroy unsheltered wood. Thermowood for the outer cladding, an option of one glass wall facing the garden, and a light foundation with no heavy concrete. Installation takes 1–2 weeks.

Infrared sauna — when electrical capacity is limited
This is the answer we give most often in older homes in Karawaci, Cipondoh, and Ciputat still on a 2,200–3,500 VA connection: a conventional 6–9 kW sauna stove demands 7,700–11,000 VA, whereas an infrared carbon panel draws only 1.7–2.4 kW — no PLN capacity upgrade needed. Working temperature is 45–60°C; the heat warms your body directly, not the air. A 1–2 person cabin is installed in 1–2 days.
Steam room — 100% steam
A steam room works at 40–45°C with humidity near 100%. Behind it lies serious wet work: full waterproofing, a floor sloped to a drain, a sloped ceiling so condensation doesn't drip onto your head, mosaic tiling, and a 6–9 kW steam generator. That is why it takes 3–5 weeks — the longest of all the types. It's popular for master bathrooms in Alam Sutera and for spa facilities. Our full comparison with the dry sauna is in the article sauna vs steam room.

What shifts the figure most: cabin size, interior wood type, stove brand, and the electrical situation. A full product table is on the pricing page. Our guide to choosing size, wood, and stove is summarized in the article choosing a home sauna.
Stove and electricals — the part you must not cut corners on
We install only imported stoves with an official warranty and spare parts: Harvia (Finland), Sawo, Tylo. The 1–2 year factory warranty runs on top of our 2-year construction warranty. Installation uses heat-resistant SiHF cable, a dedicated breaker, and an ELCB — not a tap into an existing socket line. If your home's capacity falls short, we help arrange a PLN upgrade; the cost follows official PLN rates and is paid by the homeowner. The full calculation is in the article how much electrical power a sauna needs.

Dry, outdoor, infrared, or steam — which is for you?
Four questions are usually enough to steer the choice:
- Is the space indoors or in the garden? Inside the house → custom dry sauna or infrared. A garden or rooftop → an outdoor cabin.
- How much electrical capacity do you have? Under 5,500 VA with no plan to upgrade → an infrared at 1.7–2.4 kW runs with no trouble; 7,700 VA and up → every option is open.
- What sensation are you after? Dry, wood-scented heat with a splash over the stones → a dry sauna. An enveloping steam that eases breathing → a steam room.
- Budget? From Rp 30 million (a small infrared) to Rp 150 million (a large outdoor). The sweet spot: a 2×2 m dry sauna at Rp 60–120 million.

Sauna care: light, but there's a routine
A sauna built right doesn't ask for much, but that doesn't mean zero maintenance. What we teach at handover:
- Every session — leave the door open after use so the cabin dries; wipe the benches with a towel.
- Monthly — check the bench boards are tight, clear debris off the stove stones, make sure the ventilation isn't blocked.
- Yearly — light sanding and oiling of the benches if needed, service the stove, check the cabling and breaker.
The total cost is small: Rp 200,000–500,000 per month for a dry sauna used 2–3 sessions a week, electricity included. Infrared is cheaper still, Rp 100,000–250,000. A cabin with proper insulation (50 mm rockwool + vapor barrier) heats faster and holds the heat longer — that's what keeps the bill down, not simply fitting a smaller stove.
Commercial saunas for gyms, spas, and hotels
A home sauna runs a few hours a week; a commercial sauna runs a dozen hours a day. The difference isn't just size — a commercial-grade stove, ventilation for dozens of people, materials that withstand public use, and a control panel that can be locked away from guests. For business facilities in Serpong, BSD, or near the airport, we handle it as part of the spa center equipment package — from Rp 150 million, 4–8 weeks of work.
How does the process work?
- Chat on WhatsApp, tell us your plan.
- A manager calls you the same day.
- Send photos of the site — straight from your phone is fine.
- A free visualization from your photo — we show how the cabin will look in that room.
- A written cost estimate and schedule.
- 50% deposit, production, staged installation.
- Final measurements are taken at installation.
- A heat-up test together, handover, 2-year warranty.
A custom home sauna takes 2–4 weeks of work plus 1–2 weeks for material delivery. Once installed, upkeep is light: Rp 200,000–500,000 per month for 2–3 sessions a week — wipe the interior, check the boards are tight, and service the stove periodically.
