Sauna Cover FAQ | Materials, Fit, Warranty & Installation

Frequently Asked Questions About Sauna Covers

What materials are your sauna covers made from?

Our sauna covers are built using premium marine-grade materials designed for long-term outdoor use. The sidewalls are constructed from a high-quality, durable marine canvas that is designed to resist UV exposure, moisture, and general wear over time.

What material is used for the roof of the sauna cover?

All sauna cover roofs are made using a waterproof roofing material specifically designed to handle rain, snow, and moisture. This material is built for long-term outdoor exposure and provides reliable protection in most environments.

What is included with a sauna cover purchase?

Each sauna cover includes a complete installation system, including:

A fully constructed marine-grade sauna cover
Stainless steel snaps for secure attachment
Brass/Nickel studs
3/8-inch self-tapping screws
Installation instructions and care information

Everything needed to properly install and secure your cover is included.

How accurate is the fit of your sauna covers?

Every sauna cover is custom made to fit your specific sauna model or dimensions. Our covers are built to fit cleanly and securely, helping prevent issues like sagging, water pooling, and unnecessary stress on the material.

What warranty do your sauna covers include?

Our sauna covers include:

1-year craftsmanship warranty
5-year limited warranty on roofing material
Extended material durability designed for long-term use

How is the door secured when using the sauna?

Our standard design includes a roll-up door flap that can be secured using permanently attached ties. This allows you to easily open the cover and keep it out of the way while using your sauna.

Will a sauna cover cause mold or mildew inside my sauna?

No — when properly installed and maintained, a sauna cover should not cause mold or mildew. Our covers are designed to protect against moisture intrusion, not trap it.

We have sold hundreds of covers without mold-related issues. However, proper installation and maintenance are important, and issues caused by improper use are not covered under warranty.

What is the difference between a standard valance and a wavy valance?

Standard Valance: Straight edge design
Wavy Valance: Decorative curved edge

Both options function the same, but the wavy valance provides a more finished appearance.

What is the difference between the standard door and the upgraded door?

Standard Door:
Vertical roll-up design secured with ties
Upgraded Door:
Horizontal roll-to-the-side design using velcro along the top
Includes a zipper that allows the door to detach partially
Can be rolled to the side or left open for easier access

The upgraded door provides more flexibility and easier daily use.

What is the purpose of the weather slot for the power cord?

The optional weather slot is designed for saunas where the power cord exits from the top of the unit.

It allows the cord to exit through the rear upper panel (not the roof) while maintaining a proper fit.

👉 You only need this option if:

Your power cord originates from the top
You plan to route power above standard outlet height

If your power cord exits from the side or lower portion of the sauna, this option is not needed.

Do I need a thermal cover as well?

In colder climates, many customers choose to add a thermal cover underneath their sauna cover. Thermal covers help:

Reduce heat loss
Improve warm-up time
Increase energy efficiency

While not required, they can significantly improve performance in cold weather.

Do you offer custom sizes or special requests?

Yes. We build covers for:

Standard sauna models
Modified units
Fully custom dimensions

If your sauna does not match a standard size, we can work with you to create a fully custom-fit solution.

🔥 FINAL NOTE

If you’re looking for a sauna cover that fits correctly, uses high-quality materials, and is built for long-term outdoor use, our products are designed to deliver exactly that.
