The Duet includes a sleek all-glass door that is beautifully recessed into the wall section. The design boasts easy access with a long, cylindrical handle that is stainless steel on the outside and milled lumber on the interior. We also use only premium rustic red cedar for the construction of the sauna room to add a pleasant cedar aroma to your sauna experience.
You can enjoy both dry heat and humid heat in the Duet Sauna. Your sauna session will begin as a dry sauna as the sauna reaches your desired temperature. Once the sauna stones have had a chance to get good and hot, ladle some water over the top of them to generate a quick burst of steam. This will cause the humidity inside the sauna to instantly rise, creating a wet sauna. Eventually, the steam will dissipate, and you have the option of adding water periodically to adjust interior humidity as desired. The traditional Finnish sauna experience will continually alternate between wet and dry.
The beauty of Western red cedar is both visual and functional, appealing to the sense with its lovely coloring and signature scent. Cedar is also resistant to mold, mildew and insects, making it the ideal lumber for outdoor saunas. Furthermore, the curved barrel surface sheds rain and can hold a substantial snow load. The provided support cradles help loft the sauna’s undercarriage, keeping it high and dry above the ground, and the full glass door allows ample natural light to enter the room. Put it all together and you have an exceptional outdoor sauna that performs well year-round.
