One Outdoor Sauna. Two Completely Different Ways to Sauna.

The Golden Designs Kaskinen GDI-8526-01 is built for buyers who don't want to choose between traditional sauna heat and infrared. This six-person outdoor hybrid combines an 8kW traditional electric sauna heater with a 15-emitter PureTech™ full-spectrum infrared system, allowing you to choose the style of heat that fits the session.

For traditional sauna bathing, the electric stone heater provides the higher-temperature experience many people associate with a classic Finnish-style sauna. When you prefer infrared, seven PureTech™ Near Zero EMF carbon panels and eight near-infrared elements provide full-spectrum infrared heat at lower cabin temperatures.

The all-weather exterior surrounds a natural Canadian Red Cedar interior, while a galaxy-style ceiling lighting system, illuminated backrest, exterior accent lighting, Bluetooth and built-in speakers make the Kaskinen feel more like a dedicated backyard wellness room than simply another piece of outdoor equipment.

Golden Designs Kaskinen FAQ

How does the Kaskinen hybrid heating system work?

The Kaskinen gives you two sauna experiences in one cabin: an 8kW traditional electric sauna heater and a 15-emitter PureTech™ full-spectrum infrared system. The infrared system includes seven Near Zero EMF carbon panels and eight near-infrared elements, allowing you to choose the heating style that fits the session.

What electrical service does the Kaskinen require?

The Kaskinen requires 240V/40A electrical service. A certified electrician should install or confirm the circuit and connection in accordance with the product manual and local electrical code.

How large is the Golden Designs Kaskinen?

The exterior measures 73" W × 86" D × 95" H, with the roof overhang adding approximately 4 inches to the depth. Interior dimensions are 63" W × 80" D × 91" H at the peak.

What should I prepare before an outdoor Kaskinen installation?

Plan for a level, stable installation area, the required electrical route, manufacturer-specified clearances, and enough access for freight delivery and assembly. Review the product manual and local building and electrical requirements before the sauna arrives.

How is the Kaskinen different from a traditional-only outdoor sauna?

The Kaskinen adds full-spectrum infrared heat to a traditional electric sauna heater, so you are not limited to one heating style. Buyers who want only traditional sauna heat may prefer a traditional-only outdoor model such as the Golden Designs Kaarina.

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 →
