Nordpower craftsman refining architectural sauna plans in the workshop

The Nordpower process

From your space to first heat.

A clear, considered path from choosing your sauna to workshop checks, protected delivery and support through first heat.

Explore the process

A considered process

Nothing important left to assumption.

A sauna is a significant addition to your home. The experience of buying one should feel as resolved as the finished space.

Nordpower turns a complex project into a clear sequence—from the first photograph of your space to workshop verification, protected delivery and first heat. You will know what we need, what happens next and what has been agreed before production begins.

Your journey

Seven clear stages.
No vague handovers.

Every project is different, but the standard of communication should not be. This is the route your Nordpower sauna takes.

01 Discovery

Begin with the space, not a sales pitch.

Send a photograph and rough dimensions. We return a practical first recommendation—without pressure to commit.

02 Practical review

Resolve what photographs cannot.

We assess footprint, base, orientation and delivery access, raising constraints while they are still easy to solve.

03 Selection & refinement

The right model, resolved for your setting.

Capacity, glazing, privacy, heating and setting are considered before the standard or bespoke specification is agreed.

04 Commitment & schedule

A clear commitment, in writing.

A confirmed scope and 50% deposit secure materials, labour and your place in the production schedule.

05 Made to order

Your sauna enters the workshop.

Structure, insulation, glazing, seating, heating and controls are built as one considered system.

06 Workshop verification

Built once before it reaches you.

Your sauna is fully assembled and checked before dispatch—from alignment and glazing to heater position and finish.

07 Delivery & first heat

Delivered carefully. Supported properly.

Factory-finished sections are protected for transport, with clear assembly guidance and Nordpower support through first heat.

Before production

Four things become clear.

The deposit is a production decision, not the start of an undefined conversation.

  1. 01

    The model and principal specification

  2. 02

    The site, base and access responsibilities

  3. 03

    The delivery and assembly route

  4. 04

    The estimated schedule and payment stages

Your property

What needs to be ready.

You do not need every answer before contacting us. These are the practical points we will help you identify as the project develops.

A firm, level base

A correctly sized, stable base must be ready before delivery. The appropriate solution depends on the model and site.

A workable access route

We need accurate information about gates, turns, gradients, parking and the route to the sauna's final position.

The correct services

Electrical requirements depend on the heater selected. Final electrical connection must be completed by a certified electrician.

Relevant permissions

Planning, landlord or site permissions vary by property and location. These remain the customer's responsibility to confirm.

The final assembly

Choose the route that suits your project.

We agree the assembly route before delivery is scheduled, so responsibilities are understood on both sides.

01

Guided assembly

For capable customers or their appointed contractor.

Your sauna arrives in checked, factory-finished sections with clear assembly guidance and access to Nordpower support. You arrange suitable unloading, positioning, assembly and certified electrical connection.

Guidance included
02

Professional installation

For a more managed route to completion.

Professional installation may be arranged for an additional service fee, subject to location and availability. Scope, access and cost are confirmed separately before booking. Certified electrical work remains essential.

Practical answers

Before you begin.

Clear answers to the questions that usually shape a decision.

Ask a different question
Is a photograph really enough to begin?

Yes. A clear photograph, rough dimensions, your postcode and any model you like are enough for an initial conversation. Exact measurements and access details are confirmed before an order is agreed.

How long will my sauna take?

Most Nordpower permanent saunas are presented with an estimated 8–10 week made-to-order lead time. Your individual window is confirmed before deposit and remains subject to specification, production scheduling, site readiness and logistics.

What does the 50% deposit secure?

It secures materials, labour and production scheduling for your order. The deposit becomes non-refundable once production begins. The remaining balance is due before dispatch; full conditions are set out in Nordpower's terms.

Is delivery included?

Complimentary delivery is included within mainland UK unless stated otherwise. Remote or restricted-access locations may require an additional quotation. Standard delivery is kerbside unless another arrangement or installation service is agreed in writing.

Can Nordpower install the sauna?

Professional installation may be available for an additional fee, depending on location and schedule. Alternatively, the sauna's checked modular sections are designed for straightforward assembly by capable customers or their appointed contractor, with guidance from Nordpower.

Can I alter a standard Nordpower model?

Potential alterations and bespoke projects can be discussed before quotation. What is possible depends on structure, glazing, heating, transport and the intended setting. Any approved variation is recorded as part of the agreed scope.

Will I need planning permission?

Requirements vary with location, dimensions, placement, listed status and local restrictions. You should confirm the position with your local planning authority and obtain any landlord or property permissions before installation.

What electrical work is required?

The requirement depends on the heater and configuration selected. Any mains connection must be completed and certified by a suitably qualified electrician. We will identify the relevant product requirement during planning.

What warranty and support are provided?

Nordpower provides a two-year warranty covering structural components and heating systems, subject to the published terms and correct installation, use and maintenance. You also receive care guidance and direct UK support through first heat and beyond.

Can you supply commercial or holiday-let projects?

Yes. Private rentals, boutique stays and considered commercial settings can be discussed. We will need to understand expected usage, management, access, services and maintenance before recommending the right route.
