Kitchen and bath giant Kohler Co. has launched a new collection of indoor and outdoor saunas, “a bold new category expansion highlighting the brand’s commitment to elevating at-home wellness solutions,” the company says.
“The thoughtful design of Kohler Saunas create beautiful and therapeutic environments that invigorate the senses and promote deep relaxation, recovery, and rejuvenation,” said Katie Stevens, general manager of Kohler Wellness. “Our new sauna category makes it easy for customers to find and purchase the right sauna — from a trusted brand — to seamlessly integrate into their lifestyle and the architecture of their home, inside or out.”
Kohler says its decision to enter the sauna market is a direct response to market forces, as the global home sauna market is projected to reach $4.6 billion by 2033. What was once an exclusive spa amenity, the company explains, is now becoming an essential component of the modern home.

The new saunas, Kohler explains, blend craftsmanship with advanced engineering for a modern take on traditional heat therapy. “The refined contemporary structures are built with premium materials, complement a wide range of residential styles and spaces and are available in small, medium and large configurations to accommodate individual relaxation or shared wellness experiences.”
Product highlights include wood finishes, extra-thick walls and glass and mineral wool insulation for heat retention. Each unit also features a freestanding heater, dual thermostats and aerotherm ventilation to ensure consistent warmth, efficiency and accurate temperatures, Kohler says.
The saunas offer a sleek touchscreen for easy and comprehensive control of time, temperature and ambiance, including a sunset lighting system that creates a calming atmosphere. For added comfort, a sauna-safe Obeche wood headrest completes the experience.

“The indoor saunas can stand alone as showpieces in a space or be seamlessly integrated into the walls of a renovation project or new build,” Kohler says. “Indoor saunas are available with a Scandinavian Spruce or Graphite Grey exterior, with Scandinavian Spruce as the interior for both selections.
“Outdoor sauna models,” the company continues, “are built to withstand the elements, featuring a triple insulated waterproof ceiling and dual-pane glass. Outdoor saunas are available with a Douglas Fir or Weathered Grey Spruce exterior, with Scandinavian Spruce as the interior for both selections as well. A lock on the door and control box adds privacy and security.”
