Mobile Sauna FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions – Mobile Saunas
1. What is a mobile sauna?
A mobile sauna is a fully insulated sauna built on a trailer, designed so you can take the wellness experience anywhere, to your garden, events, or as part of a mobile business.
At Irish Sauna Company, each one is handcrafted in Mayo, built for Irish weather, and inspired by Scandinavian design.
2. Do I need a special licence to tow a mobile sauna in Ireland?
In most cases, if your vehicle and trailer fall within standard towing limits, a regular car licence (B category) is sufficient. Our Box Trailer Saunas are designed to meet Irish road regulations and are easy to tow safely.
3. Can I start a business with a mobile sauna?
Absolutely! Mobile saunas are a growing trend in Ireland’s wellness market. Whether you want to set up at beaches, festivals, or private retreats, our eco-friendly mobile saunas offer a fantastic business opportunity with low overheads and high demand.
4. Are your saunas really made in Ireland?
Yes — 100%! Every Irish Sauna Company model is handcrafted in County Mayo by our husband-and-wife team with over 20 years of joinery experience.
No imports, no shortcuts, just Irish craftsmanship and locally sourced materials.
5. Are the mobile saunas insulated and weatherproof?
Yes. Our box-style trailer saunas are fully insulated and sealed to handle Irish rain, wind, and coastal conditions. Built for the Irish climate, they’re durable, efficient, and eco-friendly.
6. What type of heater do your saunas use?
We offer both traditional wood-burning stoves and electric sauna heaters, depending on your preference and power setup. Each heater provides that authentic, steamy heat loved by sauna enthusiasts.
7. How long does it take to heat up a sauna?
Depending on the model and heater type, your sauna typically reaches optimal temperature (70–90°C) in 25–40 minutes. Wood-fired heaters heat slightly faster and create that traditional crackling sauna experience.
8. Can I customise my mobile sauna?
Yes! You can choose interior layouts, wood types, lighting, benches, and heater options to match your personal or business style. Our saunas are handcrafted to order, no two are exactly the same.
9. How much does a mobile sauna cost?
Pricing depends on size, design, and features. Because we build each sauna by hand, we provide custom quotes to suit your needs. Contact us anytime for a tailored price.
