Before you buy

Buying a sauna shouldn't be a research project.

Barrel or cabin, heater, wood, installer. We've made those choices and tested them in our own builds. If we're not right for your space, we'll say so.

Made in Pawtucket

The Verdure Way

Every Verdure sauna starts as rough Western Red Cedar. Milled, shaped, sanded and finished by hand in Pawtucket, then installed by us.

From the founder

Why we build every sauna ourselves.

I’m Hamish.

A few years ago I started bringing in ready-made saunas and installing them. The more I worked with them, the more I kept thinking how good a sauna could be if it was made by people who cared about every part of the bather’s experience.

So I did the hard thing.

I leased a 5,000 square foot workshop in Pawtucket and spent two years working through every detail of the build until it felt right. Layout, framing, insulation, ventilation, wiring, finishes. Over and over until I was happy to put my name on it.

Now everything happens at 21 Sabin Street. Rough Western Red Cedar comes in, we mill every piece, frame and insulate the walls, and the same small team that builds your sauna installs it in your home. If you ever need help or a part, you speak to the people who made it.

You’re dealing with the crew who cut it, built it and signed off on it. We’re proud of every sauna that leaves this workshop.

You’re welcome to come in and see for yourself.

3. A fixed quote. Drawings, specs and one price. Nothing is added unless you change the plan.
