What’s included, and what you’ll need

Arrives finished

A cross-laminated timber sauna, clad in Thermo-Pine
Thermo-Aspen walls, ceiling, benches and backrests
A clear glass door and window in black aluminum frames
A movable lower bench and removable floor grids
LED lights under the benches, with a wireless dimmer switch
A bucket and ladle, thermometer-hygrometer, sand timer, aroma set, sauna hat and pillow

You choose

Natural or black Thermo-Pine outside
The rear window with facing benches, or the side window with an L-shaped bench
Your heater package; the HUUM CORE 10.5 kW is preselected

You arrange

A level base: a concrete pad, or a deck on footings
A crane or forklift for delivery day
An electrician for the heater and the lights

There’s nothing to build. We’ll help you plan the rest.

The Garda comes off the truck in one piece and goes straight onto your base. Your crew screws down the roof flashing and seals on its rubber edge, and your electrician connects the heater and the lights. We go over the base, the lift and the wiring with you or your contractor before it ships.

Why the Garda is built from cross-laminated timber

The Garda’s walls and floor are cross-laminated timber: three layers of solid wood, 2¾ in thick in all, bonded crosswise so each layer holds the next one still. Wood swells and shrinks with the seasons, and in a single-layer sauna that is how gaps open up and heat leaks out. In the Garda, the layers pull against each other and the walls hold their shape.

All that solid wood is also thermal mass. The Garda takes a little longer to come up to temperature, and then the walls hold the heat and give it back slowly, the soft, even heat of a log sauna. The same rigid shell is why Auroom can build the whole sauna in its factory and send it to you in one piece, with Thermo-Pine outside and Thermo-Aspen inside to finish it.

It’s pointless to buy a sauna unless it’s going to last and you’ll actually use it.

How the Garda is built, from the outside in

Thermo-Pine outside: Vertical boards, natural or black, on a ¾ in air gap.
Cross-laminated timber: 2¾ in of solid wood in the walls and floor.
Thermo-Aspen inside: Paneling on a 1 in gap, plus the benches and backrests.
A sealed roof: A waterproof layer under metal flashing, finished with a rubber edge.
A dry floor: A waterproof layer under the floor grids, on 3½ in base beams.
Fresh air and a drain: Air comes in at the floor and leaves near the ceiling. A drain in the floor takes water away.

In stock in the U.S.

All four versions are here now: black or natural, with the rear window or the side window. Your Garda arrives in one piece, with flatbed delivery in two to four weeks.

Choosing a heater

Every package comes with the heater’s control and stones, and every control has Wi-Fi, so you can start the sauna from your phone. The heater you pick shows in 3D Studio.

Preselected

HUUM CORE 10.5 kW

The heater Auroom specifies for the Garda. Ours is clad in Thermo-Aspen to match the walls, with a black inlay, a UKU Wi-Fi control and three boxes of stones.

HUUM HIVE Mini 10.6 kW

A column of stones in a steel frame, holding about 330 lb of them. The package adds a safety ring, an air tunnel, the UKU Wi-Fi control and the stones.

Harvia Virta 10.5 kW

A black steel heater that holds up to 154 lb of stones, with Harvia’s Fenix Wi-Fi control and the HL3M safety rail.

Saunum AIR Perfect 10

Saunum’s climate-equalizing heater: a fan mixes the hot air from the ceiling down, so the heat is more even from head to feet. AirIQ Wi-Fi control and stones included.

Heater pictures are from our 3D model of the Garda. Harvia’s MyHarvia 2 app is free; remote starting is a $99 one-time license from Harvia after a 3-month trial.

Why the CORE 10.5 and the Virta 10.5 fit the Garda

The Garda is about 287 cu ft inside. Glass lets out more heat than wood, so heater makers count it as extra room: by HUUM’s rule, the rear-window Garda works out to about 387 cu ft and the side-window Garda to about 373 cu ft. HUUM rates the CORE 10.5 and the HIVE Mini 10.6 for 354 to 566 cu ft.

We pair the 10.5 kW Virta with both layouts. Harvia rates it for 177 to 635 cu ft and ceilings from 75 to 90 in; the Garda’s is 86 in. At 16 in square and 33 in tall, it keeps Harvia’s 2 in clearances with room to spare between the rear-window benches. The HL3M in the package is Harvia’s safety rail for this heater.

The CORE 10.5 and the Virta 10.5 both run on 240 V single-phase and draw 43.75 A. The CORE calls for a 50 A breaker; your electrician sizes the circuit from your heater’s manual.

Thermo-Aspen everywhere you touch

The walls, ceiling, benches and backrests are all smooth Thermo-Aspen. Choose the HUUM CORE and its cladding is Thermo-Aspen too, so the heater looks like part of the room.

Planning delivery day

The Garda arrives in one piece, so delivery day is the main event. Here’s what to have ready.

The base

A level concrete pad, or a raised deck on footings. Auroom has approved a deck on concrete footings with 4×6 or 4×8 beams for a Garda; send us your plan and we’ll check it. Plan the base around where the power comes in and where the floor drain goes.

The lift

It ships by flatbed and weighs 4,079 lb as shipped. You arrange a forklift or a crane to set it on the base. Before it ships, we confirm the layout, the window and the door with you in writing.

The power

Your electrician runs a 240 V circuit for the heater and 120 V for the lights, with the heater power and the low-voltage cables in separate conduits. The Garda’s weatherproof electrical box mounts outside, where it suits your panel.

When it arrives, look it over before it’s set in place, and send us photos of anything that looks wrong the same day. Auroom’s warranty doesn’t cover damage that was visible before installation.

Not sure a crane can reach your spot?

Send us a photo of the spot and the way in. On a free 30‑minute call, we’ll go over the crane or forklift route, the base and the power with you, and what your crane company needs to know.

Questions we get about the Garda

What does the starting price cover?

The finished sauna, before your heater package and freight: $32,990 in natural Thermo-Pine and $33,990 in black. Each heater package adds the heater, its control and its stones. Freight to the continental U.S. is $1,990 by flatbed.

Is the heater included?

Yes, as part of your package. The HUUM CORE 10.5 kW is preselected because it’s the heater Auroom specifies for the Garda. You can switch to the HUUM HIVE Mini 10.6 kW, the Harvia Virta 10.5 kW or the Saunum AIR Perfect 10, or choose the sauna only if you already have a heater that suits this room.

How does it get into my yard?

On a flatbed, in one piece, and you arrange a forklift or a crane to set it on the base. It weighs 4,079 lb as shipped. If you’re not sure a crane or forklift can reach the spot, send us photos before you order and we’ll go over it with you.

What foundation does it need?

A stable, level base that can carry its weight. Auroom recommends a concrete slab, or another base that’s just as stable and level. Auroom has approved a deck on concrete footings with 4×6 or 4×8 beams for a Garda; send us your plan and we’ll check it. The installation manual shows the pad size and where the power comes in.

How close can it sit to the house or a fence?

Follow your local rules for the space between buildings. Where they don’t say, Auroom’s guidance is about 6 ft 7 in of clear space around the sauna.

What does my electrician need to know?

The heater needs a 240 V single-phase circuit; the HUUM CORE 10.5 kW draws 43.75 A and calls for a 50 A breaker. The lights run on 120 V. Run the heater power and the low-voltage cables in separate conduits. The Garda’s weatherproof electrical box mounts outside, where you choose. For app control, your Wi-Fi needs to be 2.4 GHz.

How soon will it arrive?

It’s in stock in the U.S., with flatbed delivery in two to four weeks. We’ll confirm the delivery window with you before it ships.

Which way does the door open?

Outward. It’s clear tempered glass in a black aluminum frame. If the hinge side matters for your path to the door, ask us which side the Garda we’re sending is hinged on.

Can I start it from my phone?

Yes. Every heater package comes with a Wi-Fi control: HUUM’s UKU, Harvia’s Fenix or Saunum’s AirIQ. Harvia’s MyHarvia 2 app is free; remote starting is a $99 one-time license from Harvia after a 3-month trial.

How do the lights work?

LED strips under the benches light the room. A wireless wall switch that needs no batteries turns them on and dims them, and the free Kinetic Switch app runs them from your phone. After a power cut, press the switch to turn them back on.

Does it handle winter?

Yes, it’s built to stand outside all year. In heavy snow, clear the roof before more than 20 in builds up.

What care does it need?

Before the first use, treat the wood with sauna wax or paraffin oil. Then heat it slowly to 212°F, keep it there for two hours with the door half open and nobody inside, and let it cool slowly. The thermally modified wood gives off some scent for the first three heats. After each session, wipe the benches and let the heater run for about 20 minutes to dry the wood. Once a year, wash it with sauna cleaner, treat the wood again and tighten the bench fastenings.

What does the warranty cover?

Auroom covers the Garda for two years from delivery, for home use. Look it over when it arrives: damage you could see before installation isn’t covered once it’s installed. Heaters carry their own warranties. Read the Auroom warranty.
