Golden Designs Vorarlberg Flat Roof — 5-Person Outdoor Traditional Sauna

A traditional sauna is the real Finnish article: high heat off an electric rock stove, and steam the moment you ladle water over the stones. An infrared cabin cannot reproduce that, and if that experience is what you are after, nothing cheaper substitutes for it.

What you get from buying it here rather than a marketplace listing: one named contact who registers the Golden Designs warranty and arranges any claim for you, freight we book and chase ourselves, and someone on the phone at (307) 201-4597 if the pallet turns up damaged.

What you should weigh honestly before you order — it needs 240v/40a heater circuit + 120v/15a outlet for lights and a licensed electrician, it takes 3 adults to build, and the exterior needs sealing two to three times a year to stay under warranty. If none of that puts you off, it is a room you will still be using in fifteen years.

Your sauna ships via freight truck (LTL freight). Delivery is curbside — the driver will bring it to the end of your driveway. You'll need to arrange moving it inside yourself, or hire a local moving service. You'll receive a call from the freight carrier 24–48 hours before delivery to schedule a window that works for you.

Most saunas arrive on a pallet and will require 2 people to carry inside.

A scuffed crate, torn wrap or dust is normal — that is what a crate looks like after a freight journey, and it is not a reason to turn the delivery away. Sign for it, but if there is any mark at all on the crate, wrap or carton, write the word DAMAGED next to your name along with what you can see. Freight carriers only accept the word damaged — that note is what keeps a claim open if you find something later — signing a clean receipt means the sauna was received in good condition, and a freight claim can no longer be filed.

Refuse the delivery if the sauna itself is visibly damaged, if there is a hole in the packaging the size of a softball or bigger, or if you can see damaged wood. Write the damage on the delivery receipt before signing, and photograph it.

If you unpack it and find damage that was hidden inside the crate, contact us at Sales@Iridescenthome.com or call (307) 201-4597 within 48 hours with your photos. We will work directly with the freight carrier and manufacturer to get replacement parts or a full replacement shipped to you at no extra cost.

Yes — this model is hardwired and does not plug into a wall outlet. It requires 240v/40a heater circuit + 120v/15a outlet for lights. The manufacturer's manual is explicit that the stove “must be hardwired by a certified electrician,” with no wall adapters and no extension cords.

Cost depends entirely on how far the run is from your panel and whether the panel has capacity, so get a quote from a local licensed electrician before you order rather than trusting a national average. Book them for before the pallet arrives, not after.

Not sure what your panel can take? Call (307) 201-4597 — we have read this model's manual and will tell you exactly what it needs.

You'll need a few extra inches on each side beyond the sauna's footprint for proper airflow and easy door opening. We recommend at least 2–3 inches of clearance on the sides and back, and enough room in front for the door to open fully.

Check the Features & Specifications section on this page for the exact assembled dimensions of this model. Make sure to also measure any doorways or hallways the sauna will need to pass through during move-in — most saunas can be partially disassembled for tight spaces.

Yes — this model is built for it. Two things the manufacturer asks of you in return.

A proper base. Level and load-bearing: a concrete pad or a wood deck is ideal. On bare ground you need concrete blocks or similar underneath so it cannot settle over time.

Sealing, on a schedule. Treat the exterior with a water-repellent sealant within a month of assembly, then two to three times a year. Skip it and the wood greys within one to two years — and weather damage to an unmaintained exterior is not covered by the warranty. A little water seepage after heavy rain is normal on models standing directly in the weather and dries off once the sauna is running. Don't run it during a storm.

All saunas we sell come with a manufacturer's warranty covering the heaters, wood panels, electrical components, and controls. Warranty lengths vary by model — check the Features & Specifications section on this page for the exact warranty terms for this sauna.

As an authorized dealer, we support warranty claims directly. If anything goes wrong, contact us first at Sales@Iridescenthome.com and we'll coordinate with the manufacturer on your behalf.

You can return an unused, unassembled sauna in its original packaging within 30 days of delivery. Email sales@iridescenthome.com first: we issue a return authorisation (RMA) number, and a return sent without one is not accepted.

Every approved return carries a flat 20% restocking fee, deducted from your refund. You pay the return freight. Once it has been assembled or used it cannot be returned. You can cancel free any time before it ships.

Damage in transit is handled differently: call (307) 201-4597 within 48 hours of delivery. Full return policy.
