What maintenance is required after I assemble my sauna?
What maintenance is required after I assemble my sauna?
To keep your sauna looking great and lasting for years, a bit of post-assembly care is essential.
Here’s what we recommend:
- Treat the wood (inside and out) as soon as possible after assembly.
- This helps protect the timber from moisture and heat damage.
- It’s also required to validate your warranty.
2. Should you treat the benches too?
- That’s up to you, but we highly recommend it for long-term durability and easy cleaning.
3. What should you use?
- We recommend a breathable, oil-based treatment like Tikkurila Supi Sauna Finish – it’s made specifically for saunas.

If you’re handy with tools and have someone to lend a hand, you can build your sauna in just a day. Most people prefer to split it over two — getting the outer structure up on day one, then fitting the bench and electrics on day two for a smooth, stress-free setup.
It’s a rewarding project and a great way to feel even more connected to your new wellness space.

To stay compliant with safety regulations, we strongly recommend using a qualified electrician to wire in the heater once the sauna is assembled.
Do I need a 3 phase supply?
Do I need a 3 phase supply?
No, but please note: A qualified electrician is required to connect your sauna heater to your power supply. At a minimum, an isolator switch must be installed for safe and compliant operation.
Why is there no insulation in the sauna?
Why is there no insulation in the sauna?
The simple answer is — it’s not needed.
This sauna cube is built using high-quality thermowood, which naturally has excellent insulating properties. Thermowood is heat-treated to reduce moisture content and increase thermal efficiency, helping it retain heat extremely well without the need for additional insulation.
Because this is a compact, well-sealed design, the heat is distributed efficiently and doesn’t have far to travel. The structure has been specifically engineered to minimise heat loss, maintain consistent temperatures, and create a fast, effective warm-up time — even in colder outdoor conditions.
So while traditional home builds may require added insulation, our sauna's material choice and design eliminate the need for it, without compromising performance or energy efficiency.
Can the sauna be painted different colour?
Can the sauna be painted different colour?
Yes, you can paint your sauna any colour you like — as long as you use a breathable wood treatment.
Breathable paints or wood finishes allow moisture to escape from the timber while still protecting it from the elements. This is especially important for a sauna, where the wood naturally expands and contracts with heat and humidity. Using a non-breathable paint (like standard exterior paint) can trap moisture inside the wood, which may lead to warping, cracking, or mould over time.
What base do I need?
What base do I need?
To ensure optimal performance and safety, it’s essential to install your Polar Recovery Sauna Cube on a solid, level foundation.
The structure itself weighs approximately 600kg, with a recommended allowance of an additional 400kg for users — so your base must comfortably support 1,000kg in total. Suitable materials include concrete, paving slabs, tiles, patio decking, or reinforced gravel — as long as the surface is flat, stable, and weather-resistant.
Avoid sloped ground or areas prone to standing water, as uneven bases can affect both function and structural integrity over time.
