These sauna supplies can be bought from any retailer. The cost of these items varies with the size of the sauna. Taking for example, the sauna cost of a 5'*5' knotty spruce type will be around $1500 while a 7'*7' one will cost $1800. Also a 5'*5' of knotty cedar type will cost around $1750. Hence there is a wide difference in cost depending on the type and size of sauna one chooses.
One of the most important sauna materials is the heater. Electric and wood-burning heaters are the most common methods of heating a sauna. Electric heaters are easy to install and are usually less expensive then wood burning heaters. They are also inexpensive to operate, simple to use, require no chimney and create no pollution. Most electric heaters operate on 240-volt, which is available in most modern homes. A wood burning heater is heats the sauna slower and requires more effort to keep heated. Another one of the important sauna materials is the floor of the sauna. The floor is the coolest spot in the sauna (70-85°F or 21-30°C) so heat loss, insulation and heat-proof floor coverings are not very important. Rarely does the floor temperature even climb to 85°F (30°C).
There can be many possible designs in floor construction to suit the sauna location. Cedar has been the most commonly used material for saunas in North-America. However, because of cedar's high price and reduced quality, it has become less attractive to most sauna builders. A lot of people are sensitive to the odor of cedar, and will find it hard to breathe in a sauna made from cedar. Thus the final word is, one should be very careful while choosing the sauna materials so that they fit their requirements.
