Sierra™ custom infrared sauna — classic cedar window-pane design

Custom Infrared Sauna

Sierra Custom Infrared Sauna

Infrared therapy, perfected. Your quiet escape, every day.

The Problem

Most infrared saunas are built to a price, not a standard.

The overwhelming majority of infrared saunas on the market use small, low-wattage panels that heat air rather than tissue, spray-on carbon that emits high EMF, and construction-grade timber that warps and off-gasses within five years. You feel warm. You don't get better.

The Solution

VantaWave®

The most therapeutic heaters for maximum health.

Our proprietary VantaWave® carbon-crystal blend doesn't mount a few small panels and call it done. It covers every inch of your sauna walls — producing perfectly even, deeply penetrating far infrared heat at 190°F surface temperature, with average EMF output of just 0.20mG.

  • Most effective at raising core temperature
  • Most comfortable for 30+ minute sessions
  • Longest infrared wavelength for maximum absorption

What It Does for Your Body

Health Benefits of the Sierra™ Infrared Sauna

Cardiovascular Health

Passive heat raises heart rate comparably to moderate aerobic exercise, improving circulation, reducing resting blood pressure, and supporting long-term cardiovascular resilience.

Deep Detoxification

VantaWave® far infrared penetrates tissue to mobilise heavy metals and lipid-soluble toxins, flushing them through sweat at concentrations 7× higher than conventional perspiration.

Pain & Recovery

Increased circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, reducing soreness and accelerating repair. Clinical evidence supports its use for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.

Better Sleep

Post-session core temperature drop mimics the body's natural sleep-onset signal, deepening slow-wave sleep and measurably improving sleep quality and duration.

Stress Relief

Far infrared activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol and building long-term resilience. Heat-induced endorphin release promotes sustained calm without stimulants.

Skin Health

Increased circulation and deep sweating flush pores of impurities, while red light therapy (660nm) stimulates collagen production — improving tone, texture, and cellular turnover.

Atlas™ integrated red light therapy bench — clinical 2–6 inch distance

Our #1 Differentiator

Integrated Red Light Therapy — Built Into the Bench.

Clinical research validates photobiomodulation at 2–6 inches from the source. We build the bench at 2–6 inches. Every other manufacturer mounts it on the wall at 24+. The difference isn't marginal — it's the whole point.

Unlike add-on panels or aftermarket lights, the Atlas™ red light bench is seamlessly engineered into the sauna itself — the only system capable of combining full-body far infrared with targeted red light therapy in one unified, professional-grade design.

What Sierra™ Owners Are Saying

The craftsmanship is unbelievable.

We went with the Sierra for our home gym. The classic cedar and glass design is stunning — everyone who visits asks about it. Heat is even, the controls are intuitive, and SaunaCloud walked us through every step.

Exactly what our wellness centre needed.

We installed two Sierra saunas for our spa. The window-pane design gives our guests a beautiful, open feel. Build quality is exceptional and SaunaCloud's support was genuinely impressive from start to finish.

Best sauna I've ever used.

I've used saunas at high-end hotels and gyms for years. The Sierra is on another level — the VantaWave heaters produce a deeper, more even heat. The integrated red light bench is a game changer for recovery.

Common Questions

Sierra™ Infrared Sauna FAQ

What's the difference between the Atlas™ and Sierra™?

The Atlas features a modern design with vertical heater slots and optional integrated red-light therapy benches — perfect for residential or commercial wellness spaces, typically 1–4 people. The Sierra features a classic window-pane design emphasizing craftsmanship and visibility — ideal for traditionalists and larger 2–6 person installations. Both feature VantaWave® heaters, our in-house power systems, and smart Wi-Fi controls.

What size Sierra™ can I build?

The Sierra™ is fully custom — there is no fixed size. We've built Sierra saunas from intimate 2-person rooms to large 6-person commercial installations. The classic window-pane design scales beautifully to larger formats. Just tell us your dimensions and we'll take it from there.

What electrical requirements does the Sierra™ need?

All Sierra saunas require a dedicated 240V circuit. Amperage depends on size — typically 30A for smaller builds and up to 60A for larger configurations. We provide full electrical plans with every build so your electrician knows exactly what to run before delivery. Every system is fully NEC-compliant.

How long does delivery take?

Most Sierra builds ship within 7–11 weeks of final design approval. Lead time varies slightly by size and customization. Your sauna ships via ground freight on a liftgate truck — you'll receive tracking information, and the carrier will call two days before delivery to schedule your drop-off window.

What kind of wood do you use?

Clear-grade Western Red Canadian Cedar, kiln-dried. No veneers or plywood — solid cedar that naturally resists bacteria, mold, and warping. Every board is hand-selected for color and grain consistency.

Do you offer installation?

We don't provide direct installation services, but we make the process as smooth as possible. Every Sierra ships with detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions and full electrical drawings. Most customers complete installation with a general contractor or competent DIYer in 1–3 days. Our support team is available by phone and text throughout.

Why do you make your own power supplies, hardware, and software?

Most sauna companies buy generic power supplies and control boards from overseas — and that's where most failures start. At SaunaCloud, we design and manufacture our own power supplies, PCBs, and Wi-Fi-enabled control systems. Vertical integration gives us total control over reliability, consistency, precision, and speed. No other sauna company in North America manufactures its own power systems or app.

Do your saunas emit EMFs?

No. All VantaWave® heaters, red-light systems, and power supplies are ultra-low EMF and zero ELF. Wiring is shielded and grounded throughout.

What's included in the warranty?

Every Sierra™ comes with a limited lifetime warranty covering structure, heaters, and electrical components. Commercial installations are covered for 1 year. We've been building custom saunas since 2014 and we stand behind every sauna we ship.

What is VantaWave® infrared heating?

VantaWave® is our proprietary carbon-crystal blend heater panel that covers the full wall of the sauna — not just a small section like most manufacturers. This produces more even, deeper-penetrating infrared at higher surface temperatures (up to 190°F), with average EMF output of just 0.20mG — significantly lower than industry-standard ceramic or thin-film carbon panels.

Can I remotely monitor my sauna?

Yes. Our proprietary iOS/Android app and Wi-Fi-enabled controller allow complete remote monitoring and control via your phone or desktop. Start a session, set temperature, and check status from anywhere.
