Custom Designed Wood Burning Sauna Installed for Norfolk Client

August 15, 2022

In brief

Leisurequip have installed a wonderful new eco home sauna in Norfolk for Ruth Mitchell and Chris Parr who run Admiral Tees in Lowestoft. The custom designed wood burning sauna uses a Kastor solid fuel wood burning heater to give the finished room a real traditional and cosy feel.

Blowing the winter chills away

Chris enjoys country life, water foul shooting in the fens at dawn or dusk on a freezing cold winter day. Returning home to their hot eco-friendly wood burning home sauna to blow the winter chills away. Their home has many eco features including a ground source heat pump central heating system.

The wood burning sauna was manufactured from blonde aspen panelling and framed in dark wood trims. The benches, skirting, backrest with concealed lights and armrest are all in matching luxury aspen.

Client comments

Leisurequip built us an aspen sauna to house with a wood burning sauna stove. Although the job was delayed by over a year due to the main contract, Kenton honoured his original quotation. The on-site works were very efficiently carried out by Leisurequip, including on the job problem solving and work-arounds to help things along with no extras charged.

On discovering one minor piece of work left undone by the main contractor, Kenton travelled back taking a day and some 400 mile round trip to ensure satisfaction and a complete job. Overall, a first class service.

Innovation on site

To protect the sauna Leisurequip came up with an ingenious solution for fire protection of the stove area. We also designed a non-flammable area for the Kastor wood burning sauna heater to be installed into.

The old bricks, polished granite hearth and sauna heater set the Eco Home Sauna focal point. The client is absolutely delighted with the finished installation. All of which was hand cut around two high level windows, letting loads of daylight into the room giving it a most definite Scandinavian look.
