Frequently Asked Questions
What is Knoxville Custom Saunas?
Knoxville Custom Saunas is a locally focused sauna design and installation company serving residential and commercial clients throughout the Knoxville area. Services include custom-built saunas and professional installation of pre-built units.
Are saunas energy efficient for Knoxville homes?
Today’s sauna systems are designed with efficiency in mind. Infrared saunas require relatively low power, while traditional saunas perform efficiently when properly insulated and paired with modern controls. We help Knoxville homeowners select options that balance heat performance and energy use.
Can you install a sauna kit I’ve already purchased?
Yes. If you already own a pre-built or modular sauna, our team provides professional installation services, including proper assembly, electrical coordination, ventilation verification, and final system testing to ensure safe, reliable operation.
What types of saunas do you install in Knoxville?
We design and install indoor saunas, outdoor saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, commercial saunas, and provide pre-built sauna installation services. Each project is planned with local climate conditions, building codes, and usage needs in mind.
Are saunas safe for children and older adults?
When used properly, saunas are generally safe for all ages. Children should use lower temperatures for shorter sessions with supervision, while many older adults prefer infrared or moderate-heat options. Safety features such as timers, ventilation, and accessible seating are included in every design.
How much space is needed to install a sauna?
Saunas can be built for a wide range of spaces. Compact designs work well in bathrooms, spare rooms, and home gyms, while larger layouts are ideal for basements, garages, or outdoor areas. We design each sauna around the space you have available.
Do you only serve Knoxville, or nearby areas too?
Knoxville Custom Saunas works throughout Knoxville and surrounding communities in Knox County and East Tennessee. Projects range from urban homes to suburban neighborhoods and larger properties outside the city.
What wellness benefits come from regular sauna use?
Consistent sauna use may support relaxation, muscle recovery, circulation, improved sleep, and stress reduction. Infrared saunas are often used for joint and muscle comfort, while steam saunas are popular for respiratory and skin benefits.
How much does a custom sauna typically cost in Knoxville?
Pricing depends on the sauna type, size, materials, and installation requirements. Smaller indoor saunas often start around $6,000–$8,000, while outdoor or steam saunas commonly range from $10,000–$20,000 or more. Commercial projects are quoted individually after consultation.
What makes Knoxville Custom Saunas different from other sauna installers?
Sauna design and installation is our primary focus—not a side service. Clients work directly with experienced specialists and receive custom-built solutions, quality materials, and ongoing support after installation is complete.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple—call (865) 359-0595 to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, review your space, and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate tailored to your property.
Is it safe to use a sauna every day?
Daily sauna use is generally safe when sessions are kept within recommended timeframes, typically 15 to 30 minutes. During installation, we provide guidance on proper usage for comfort and safety.
Will electrical or ventilation upgrades be required?
Most saunas need a dedicated electrical circuit and proper airflow. We assess your existing setup and coordinate with licensed electricians when upgrades are needed to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.
How much maintenance does a sauna require?
Maintenance is minimal. Routine cleaning, allowing proper airflow after use, and occasional care for outdoor saunas help keep everything in excellent condition. We provide clear maintenance instructions and ongoing support.
Why choose an outdoor sauna in Knoxville?
Outdoor saunas offer a year-round relaxation experience, from cool evenings to winter nights. When properly constructed, they perform well in East Tennessee’s climate while adding functional outdoor wellness space.
Can a sauna be installed in a condo or apartment?
In many cases, yes. Compact and infrared saunas are especially popular for condos and apartments. We review electrical capacity, ventilation requirements, and HOA or building guidelines before moving forward.
What materials and heating systems do you use?
Our saunas are built using quality wood options such as cedar, hemlock, and spruce. Heating systems include traditional electric heaters, infrared panels, and steam generators from trusted, industry-leading manufacturers.
How long does a sauna installation usually take?
Most residential sauna projects are completed within one to three weeks, depending on the design and site conditions. Pre-built sauna installations can often be completed in a single day. Larger or commercial projects may require additional time.
Can a sauna increase home value?
Wellness features are increasingly attractive to buyers. A professionally installed sauna can enhance daily enjoyment and add appeal when it comes time to sell.
Are infrared saunas popular in Knoxville?
Yes. Infrared saunas are widely chosen for their energy efficiency, gentle heat, and compact footprint, making them a great option for homes with limited space or electrical capacity.
