Saunas offer a great way to relax and unwind. There are also therapeutic benefits. The heat and humidity soothe sore muscles and joints, and relieve stress. <\/p>\n
There are two basic types of saunas: wet and dry. Wet saunas, often referred to as steam rooms, operate at lower temperatures with more humidity. Dry saunas are much hotter but have almost no humidity. There are therapeutic benefits to both, so the decision often comes down to personal preference.<\/p>\n
The majority of saunas are made out of wood, which creates a soothing scent when heated. Many saunas also feature some sort of fragrant rocks that release aromas when they are splashed with water. <\/p>\n
The price of a sauna depends on several factors, including size, the species and quality of wood, and any optional features and equipment. <\/p>\n
Indoor saunas that seat two to four people usually cost $1,500 to $3,000.<\/strong> However, that cost is doubled when you factor in installation. You\u2019ll need to pay for the sauna to be vented, nearby areas to be protected from heat and moisture, and electrical work. Indoor saunas that seat five to seven people cost about $3,000 to $5,000<\/strong>, plus an additional $2,000 to $4,000<\/strong> for installation. <\/p>\n Outdoor saunas tend to be less expensive because the installation is much easier. An outdoor sauna that seats five to seven people can be purchased for $2,500 to $3,500,<\/strong> plus an additional $1,000 to $1,500<\/strong> for installation. <\/p>\n

\n <\/ul>\n Soaking in a hot tub is another great way to relax and unwind. Like saunas, hot tubs help relieve stress and soothe sore muscles and joints. <\/p>\n There are many types of hot tubs, from portable tubs that seat just one or two people to custom, in-ground models that seat 15. The vast majority of hot tubs sold are above-ground, acrylic models. These are likely what you picture when you think of a hot tub.<\/p>\n Hot tubs vary widely in price, depending on the type of tub, the size, features and options, and the difficulty of installation. <\/p>\n Portable hot tubs that seat one to four people go for as little as $500,<\/strong> while custom, in-ground spas could cost $15,000<\/strong> or more. The average price for above-ground, acrylic models is $4,000 to $7,000.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
