Powered by a commercial-grade 3.5kW Harvia® Vega Compact heater - the same unit found in professional spa installations worldwide - it reaches a scorching 220°F, delivering the kind of deep, enveloping dry heat that defines the classic Finnish sauna ritual. The interior is crafted entirely from 100% Canadian Hemlock, a naturally aromatic, low-resin wood that stays cool to the touch even at peak temperatures, while the matte black aluminum exterior over a cedar frame stands up to sun, rain, and cold year-round.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Every detail of the Forge has been considered for both performance and atmosphere. The full-length black-tinted tempered glass door adds a striking architectural edge while providing privacy, and the color-selectable RGB LED ambient lighting transforms each session into a calming, intentional ritual. Whether placed on a backyard patio, poolside deck, or covered outdoor structure, the Forge is compact enough to fit most residential spaces while delivering spa-level results.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvia® Vega Compact 3.5kW Heater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finnish commercial-grade heater (Model #HCBU352401) used in professional spa installations - delivers powerful, consistent 220°F dry heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e220°F Maximum Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reaches 170°F in approximately 25 minutes and full 220°F in approximately 40 minutes from a cold start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Canadian Hemlock Interior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally aromatic, moisture-resistant, low-resin wood that stays cool to the touch at full operating temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black Aluminum Exterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weather-resistant aluminum paneling over a cedar frame - built for year-round outdoor performance in any climate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Length Tempered Glass Door:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floor-to-ceiling black-tinted tempered glass with matte black hinges and a SaunaBox-branded horizontal pull handle for a sleek, modern look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowCore Active Ventilation System:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 powered fan (60W) plus passive intake and exhaust vents ensure fresh air circulation and consistent heat buildup throughout every session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor-Selectable RGB LED Ambient Lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chromotherapy-ready LED strip lighting under the bench and overhead - set the mood before every session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic S-Shaped Single Bench:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contoured backrest designed for extended, comfortable sauna sessions; bench sits 26.38 in off the floor with a 20.47 in depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevated Slatted Wood Flooring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raised slatted floor promotes drainage and barefoot comfort throughout the cabin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardwired 240V Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permanent, no-cord setup requires a dedicated double-pole circuit installed by a licensed electrician - no adapters or extension cords needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Outdoor Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exterior measures just 43.31 in wide x 41.34 in deep x 80.71 in tall - fits on most patios, decks, and backyard pads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLöyly-Ready Traditional Dry Sauna:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour water over the heated rocks for a burst of steam - the authentic Finnish löyly experience, not infrared.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSaunaBox® Forge 1-Person Sauna Cabin (fully assembled in crate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHarvia® Vega Compact 3.5kW Electric Heater (pre-installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSauna Rocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater Bucket and Ladle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWooden Foot Stool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eErgonomic S-Shaped Backrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The SaunaBox® Forge is engineered for serious sauna enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on heat, quality, or longevity.
