Golden Designs Forssa Traditional Sauna GDI-7203-01

The Forssa sauna requires two separate power connections: a 240V/40AMP circuit for the 8.0 kw Harvia stove and a standard 120V/15AMP circuit to power the control panel, lighting, and audio system.

This unit is designed primarily for indoor use. While it can be placed in a covered exterior area, it must be protected from direct exposure to the elements, such as rain, snow, and direct sunlight, to preserve the wood and electrical components.

The sauna features integrated red light panels that operate alongside the traditional heat. This allows you to combine the muscle-relaxing benefits of a traditional steam sauna with the potential skin and wellness benefits of red light therapy during your session.

The Canadian Hemlock exterior is chosen for its durability and structural stability, while the Red Cedar interior is prized for its natural resistance to moisture and decay, as well as its aromatic qualities. Both woods are low-maintenance, but you should keep the interior clean and dry after each use to prevent water buildup.

The sauna arrives as a modular unit that requires assembly. While it is designed for straightforward installation, given the 700-pound total weight and the electrical requirements, we recommend having two people for assembly and consulting a licensed electrician for the final power connections.

Yes, the 8.0 kw Harvia stove is powerful enough to reach temperatures between 170-185°F. This is consistent with the heat levels found in professional-grade traditional saunas.
