View SaunaGolden Designs Karlstad FAQ
How does the Karlstad hybrid heating system work?
The Karlstad combines an 8kW Harvia traditional sauna stove with a full-spectrum infrared system. The infrared system uses 13 emitters: four PureTech™ Near Zero EMF carbon panels and nine near-infrared elements, giving you two distinct heating styles in one outdoor sauna.
What electrical service does the Karlstad require?
The Karlstad requires 240V/40A electrical service for the traditional stove and full-spectrum infrared system. A certified electrician should confirm the circuit and installation in accordance with the product manual and local code.
How large is the Golden Designs Karlstad?
The exterior measures approximately 79.2" W × 84.7" D × 88.3" H. Interior dimensions are approximately 75" W × 67.2" D × 75" H.
How many people does the Karlstad seat?
The Karlstad is designed for up to six people. Its larger cabin makes it suited to families, shared sessions, or buyers who simply want more interior room.
Is the Karlstad built for outdoor use?
Yes. It has an all-weather exterior with a Canadian Red Cedar interior. As with any outdoor sauna, installation should follow the manufacturer’s requirements for the base, clearances, weather exposure, and electrical service.
FAQ
Can I finance my sauna purchase?
Yes! We offer easy monthly payments through our financing partners so you can enjoy your sauna today without paying in full upfront.
Do I need professional installation?
Installation requirements vary by product. Some 120V infrared saunas may use a dedicated household circuit, while many 240V saunas and heaters require professional electrical work. Always follow the manufacturer’s manual and local electrical and building codes. Contact Martin Sauna before ordering if you want the model-specific electrical or installation requirements.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
Manufacturer warranty coverage varies by brand, model, and component. Eligible Martin Sauna returns generally must be requested within 30 days of delivery and are subject to condition requirements, exclusions, return shipping, and possible restocking fees. Review our Return and Refund Policy and the applicable manufacturer warranty before ordering, or contact us for model-specific confirmation.
Infrared vs. Traditional Saunas – What’s the Difference?
Infrared saunas use infrared emitters and typically operate at lower air temperatures. Traditional saunas heat the room with an electric or wood-burning heater and sauna stones, creating the classic higher-temperature sauna experience. When the heater and manufacturer instructions allow it, water can be added to approved sauna stones for a brief increase in humidity.
Neither type is automatically better. The right choice depends on the heat experience you prefer, the installation, electrical requirements, and the specific model.
What does research say about sauna health benefits?
Sauna research includes encouraging findings, particularly around cardiovascular responses and long-term observational associations, but the strength of evidence varies by outcome. Sauna use should not be presented as a treatment, a substitute for exercise or medical care, or a guarantee against disease.
Martin Sauna focuses on evidence-based guidance rather than medical promises. Read our sauna health research overview →
