Indoor Saunas

Turn Your Dallas Home Into a Personal Retreat

Want to enjoy the relaxation of a luxury spa without leaving your house? At Dallas Custom Saunas, we design and install fully customized indoor saunas that fit seamlessly into your home. Whether it’s a bathroom, basement, master suite, or spare room, we transform underused spaces into private wellness retreats. Every sauna is tailored to your lifestyle, with a focus on comfort, health benefits, and long-lasting performance.

What You Get With a Custom Indoor Sauna

Each indoor sauna we create is designed from the ground up—never a cookie-cutter kit. Our team handles everything from space planning and design to expert installation. We use premium woods such as cedar, hemlock, and spruce, paired with your choice of advanced heating systems: electric, infrared, hybrid, or steam. Want to take it a step further? Add optional upgrades like mood lighting, sound systems, or ergonomic seating for a truly spa-like experience in your Dallas home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical dimensions for a custom indoor sauna?

Custom indoor saunas can be built to fit nearly any space, but certain dimensions are common for comfort and performance. At Dallas Custom Saunas, we design everything from compact 4’ x 4’ one-person saunas to larger 6’ x 8’ or 8’ x 10’ family-sized builds.

Ceiling height is important, too—7 feet is ideal for trapping heat while still leaving headroom. Heights above 8 feet make it harder to maintain even heating, especially with traditional electric heaters.

Popular layouts include:

* 4’ x 6’ for 1–2 people with a corner bench

* 6’ x 8’ for 3–4 people with tiered seating

* 5’ x 7’ for small families or multi-use spaces

We’ve built saunas in unique spaces like angled ceilings, converted closets, and narrow alcoves across Dallas, Garland, and Fort Worth. During your consultation, we’ll measure and recommend the best dimensions based on your home and your goals.

Do indoor saunas require special electrical or ventilation systems?

Yes, proper setup is essential. Most electric and infrared saunas require dedicated circuits with GFCI outlets to ensure safety. Our team can work with your licensed Dallas electrician—or recommend one we trust—to make sure your wiring is fully compliant. Ventilation is just as important: airflow prevents excess humidity and helps the sauna dry correctly between uses. We factor in these details during the planning stage, so your sauna performs efficiently without affecting the rest of your home.

How long does it take to install an indoor sauna in Dallas?

Timelines vary depending on scope, but most indoor sauna installations are finished within 3–10 days once materials are ready. We begin with a consultation, create a 3D design plan, and coordinate material delivery and labor. Our Dallas installation team works quickly and respectfully in your home, keeping disruptions minimal. After installation, we provide a full walkthrough so you know exactly how to operate, clean, and maintain your sauna for everyday use.

Can I install a custom indoor sauna in my basement?

Absolutely. Basements are among the most popular spots for indoor saunas in Dallas–Fort Worth because of their privacy, cooler temperatures, and underutilized space. We’ve transformed basements in homes from Plano to Arlington into stunning wellness retreats. Whether you want a standalone sauna room or one integrated into a home gym or entertainment space, we ensure proper insulation, ventilation, and heater placement. Electric, infrared, or steam systems can all be customized to your basement layout and lifestyle.

Other common indoor sauna locations in the DFW metro include master suites in Highland Park, spare bedrooms in Frisco, and garage studios in Richardson. No matter your home’s layout, we’ll help you choose the most practical and comfortable placement.

What’s the best room in a Dallas home for an indoor sauna?

Indoor saunas can be installed in many parts of the house, each with unique benefits. Finished basements are great for larger units and steady temperature control, while master bathrooms provide luxury and convenience just steps away from showers. Spare bedrooms, walk-in closets, garage studios, and home gyms are also popular choices. At Dallas Custom Saunas, we evaluate your space, layout, and ventilation needs to recommend the best location for comfort, safety, and long-term performance.
