Why choose an
Ennadai Sauna?
When compared side by side with the competition, there’s no contest. Our products are made by hand, with pride, and it shows.
Our designs are the best on the market – period.

4 x 6 Western Red Cedar
Our saunas are not designed to be the cheapest - they’re designed to be the best - and to provide the best value for your money.
While the rest of the competition are making saunas from 2x6 material, at Ennadai we use only premium 4x6 Western Red Cedar. These are the distinct advantages:
2.5x the R-value – so your heating bills are much lower, and you can operate the sauna in any Canadian winter temperature
Thermal mass – the walls heat up slowly and cool down slowly. This means you don’t get extreme temperature swings. Even if someone holds the door open for a few minutes, the walls retain an enormous amount of heat. So, it stays feeling warm and is back up at air temperature almost immediately.
Sound attenuation – sitting in one of these saunas is much more calming as it blocks significantly more noise from outside, and creates an acoustical environment that absorbs and dulls any interior sounds. No echoes or sharp noises.
Longevity – these saunas will last longer than the average house. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, we have generous overhangs, and a 4” solid wood buildup that will not shift or warp over time.

Superior Design
Combining traditional sauna design with modern manufacturing excellence is why we are a leader in the North American market.
Our heat source placement, roof angle, bench placement, and vent placement are all designed together to create a sauna with a predictable and reasonable thermal gradient, with an appropriate amount of (hot) fresh air. No cold spots. No drafts. No light headed feeling caused by stale air.
Our demonstration kit operates comfortably at 90 deg C at -5C outside with zero melting effect on the roof. More efficient on your heating bill, and more comfortable inside. With straight walls, high benches and plenty of headroom, our saunas are more comfortable and more spacious than our competitors.
We boast 72 cubic feet of volume per bather- that means when you buy a four person sauna, four people can actually fit comfortably in it.
Our flagship model, the Polar Star, comes with an integrated vestibule and exterior door that features heavy duty, Canadian made, spring loaded hinges. The result? A warm space to towel off, change, or leave your boots, with no icy cold draughts of air in the bathing area.
Our saunas aren’t all brains either; our signature design is not only extremely functional, it’s beautiful. Why waste your money on a sauna that looks like your neighbours garden shed when you could have a gorgeous cedar cabin?

Benefits of Use
Relaxation. One of the most popular and well documented benefits of sauna use is simple: the experience feels great, and is incredibly relaxing. For many, modern life is busy, stressful and taxing. The serene environment promoted particularly by an Ennadai Sauna provides an opportunity for peaceful, meditative relaxation that can be hard to find elsewhere.
Improved cardiovascular, brain and overall health. This is a significant claim, however several studies have linked regular sauna use with vastly reduced rates of major health concerns such as cardiovascular disease, dementia and early mortality.
Improved athletic performance. Any athlete instinctively understands that increased body temperature can be detrimental to athletic performance. However, this effect can be limited by increasing your tolerance to heat stress during training. Sauna use is one of the most effective methods for introducing and acclimating heat stress, and can help avoid the negative effect of heat during actual workouts.
Work out harder, relax deeper. Sounds good to us.
We encourage those interested in an Ennadai Sauna for health benefits to speak with a medical professional - particularly if they may be at increased risk of heat related illnesses or symptoms.
