• Outdoor placement is possible if completely protected from the weather. Colder climates will affect the warm-up time, for more detailed information see our FAQ page.
• The Saunas can be placed on carpet, tiles, timber or concrete flooring.
• The surface the sauna is placed on ideally needs to be perfectly level, however if slightly out, levelling will be required.
• For the assembly process there needs to be adequate space around the sauna before it’s pushed into place.
• Clearance required is 3-5cm for the sides and top of the sauna.

Sun Stream Saunas heat up to 65°C, but unlike traditional saunas, far infrared saunas work by heating your body directly—not just the air. This radiant heat penetrates deeply to trigger a powerful detoxifying sweat at lower, more comfortable temperatures. Our saunas deliver faster, more effective results thanks to high-powered carbon heaters, full 360° heat coverage, and no fabric barriers over the panels.

A pre-heat time of only 15 minutes is all that is required to bring the heaters up to their full operating temperature prior to commencing your sauna session.

This model is designed for one person. If you plan to sauna with another person regularly, a larger model like the Evolve 20 or 30 would be more comfortable.

Most people use it for 15–30 minute sessions. Starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing is a good way to find what works best for you.

While the sauna itself fits in small spaces, it’s helpful to leave some room for ventilation and easy access during assembly. A few centimetres clearance around each side is usually sufficient.

No special electrical work is needed – this model plugs into a standard 240 V home power outlet and draws about 1700 watts, making it an easy addition to most homes.

Wiping the interior and seat surfaces with a mild cleanser periodically helps keep things fresh. The absence of steam means there’s no moisture buildup, so it’s generally easier to maintain than traditional steam saunas.

No special tools are required. The Evolve Mini uses an easy interlocking design, and the included assembly guide makes installation simple for one or two people.

Yes, as long as you stay hydrated and listen to your body. Infrared heat is gentler than high-temperature steam saunas, so daily use is comfortable for many people.

Regular sessions may support improved circulation, muscle relaxation, and a feeling of calm and recovery. Many people also find that infrared heat helps them unwind after a busy day or intense workout.

Sun Stream provides a Residential Lifetime Warranty on the sauna’s heaters, cabinet, and electronics, giving you confidence in long-term performance.
