FRANCES DOVETAIL SAUNA

The design of the Frances model is practical and allows for a pleasant cool-down during the coldest months. 

Built with an interior log wall, it divides the steam room from a changing room. The stove feed is accessed through the attached changing room. This model has a smaller footprint, but still provides room for 5-6 people. Hand-made poplar benches and a table can be added to the changing room. Window and door options and specifications can be customized to the client’s wishes.

This sauna can be built on a concrete pier foundation with a tongue and groove floor or on a slab foundation. Wooden duck board can be added to slab foundations, but with the lower bench on all of our sauna models being about 36” off the ground, cold feet are never an issue!
