Ergonomic Comfort Designed for Shared Use

 

 

As barrel saunas grow in size, ergonomics become even more important. The E8W maintains the ERGO-Series commitment to comfort—scaled beautifully for six bathers.

 

 

• 6’5” interior height allows most users to stand upright comfortably

• Wide barrel diameter enables properly contoured seating instead of tight arcs

• Curved Thermo-Aspen benches promote relaxed posture during longer sessions

• Premium arched backrests provide true lumbar support for all body sizes

• Smooth, knot-free seating surfaces remain comfortable even at higher temperatures

 

 

Every curve is thoughtfully designed to support ease, connection, and extended relaxation.

 

 

 

Panoramic Half-Moon Window for Light & Openness

 

 

The defining feature of the E8W is its panoramic half-moon rear window, crafted from thick, tempered bronze glass.

 

 

• Brings natural daylight deep into the sauna

• Creates a greater sense of space and openness

• Frames peaceful outdoor views—trees, sky, or snowfall

• Enhances the meditative quality of each sauna session

 

 

This window elevates the traditional barrel sauna into a light-filled wellness sanctuary.

 

 

Built for Decades of Outdoor Performance

 

 

At the heart of the E8W is Thermo-Spruce, a thermally modified wood chosen for durability and efficiency.

 

 

• Lasts up to 2X longer than Cedar

• 1.65” thick full-length staves provide superior insulation and strength

• High thermal resistance (R-value) improves heat retention

• Chemical-free, eco-friendly, and dimensionally stable

 

 

Inside, Thermo-Aspen benches and backrests are nearly 50% thicker than industry standards, reinforcing both comfort and longevity.

 

 

 

Smart Engineering That Simplifies Ownership

 

 

Despite its size, the E8W is designed to be approachable and easy to maintain.

 

 

• Heavy-duty stainless-steel barrel bands (1-7/8” wide x 1/8” thick) keep the structure secure

• Complete black shingle roof kit ensures weather-tight protection

• Integrated roof drip edge manages rainwater effectively

• Dual floor drains—one beneath the heater and one near the entrance—handle water from sauna use, splashing, or outdoor exposure

• Designed for simple DIY installation, typically completed in one day with two people

 

 

These thoughtful details help the sauna perform reliably year after year.

 

 

 

Lighting That Shapes the Atmosphere

 

 

Lighting plays a key role in how a sauna feels—especially one designed for groups.

 

 

• Low-voltage, waterproof white LED lighting (IP67 rated)

• Wi-Fi app control to set the ambiance before entering

• Dotless LED design creates a smooth, even glow

• Expandable with optional E SCONCE+ outdoor sconces or E MOOD color lighting for enhanced visual ambiance

 

 

Lighting adapts effortlessly from calm, restorative sessions to lively social gatherings.

 

 

 

Natural Beauty That Complements Any Backyard

 

 

The exterior Nordic Spruce is carefully dried to achieve a warm golden tone that highlights its natural grain and rustic character. Inside, Thermo-Aspen seating adds a refined contrast with its rich color and silky-smooth finish.

 

 

A bottle of natural paraffin oil is included to help preserve and enhance the interior wood over time.
