The SaunaLife EE8GB transforms the traditional barrel sauna into a sophisticated architectural retreat. Combining a dramatic black exterior, expansive panoramic glass front, and beautifully finished natural wood interior, this premium outdoor sauna brings contemporary Scandinavian design and authentic Finnish sauna bathing together in one exceptional space.
Part of SaunaLife's Ergo Elegance Series, the EE8GB is thoughtfully engineered to deliver superior comfort, generous interior proportions, premium craftsmanship, and lasting outdoor performance.
The EE8GB creates an unforgettable architectural statement with its sophisticated black exterior, beautifully complementing contemporary homes, mountain retreats, and thoughtfully landscaped outdoor spaces.
Included with the sauna are two 2.7-liter containers of PROSAUNAS SaunaShield Black Sauna Paint, formulated specifically for exterior sauna applications. This protective coating accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood through changing temperatures and weather conditions.
Applied on-site during assembly, the rich black finish creates a striking contrast with the warm, natural Thermo-Spruce interior and refined Thermo-Aspen seating.
The EE8GB's expansive full-height bronze-glass front creates an open, light-filled atmosphere that transforms every sauna session.
Large tempered-glass panels surround the matching entrance door, framing beautiful views of your garden, forest, mountain landscape, or private backyard retreat.
The combination of bold black architecture and transparent glass creates a seamless visual connection to the outdoors while preserving the warmth and intimacy of traditional sauna bathing.
Comfort is at the heart of SaunaLife's Ergo Elegance Series.
Unlike conventional barrel saunas with restrictive headroom and narrow seating, the EE8GB features an impressive 7'3" interior diameter, elevated benches, and spacious proportions designed for a more comfortable bathing experience.
Its ergonomically contoured Thermo-Aspen benches encourage a natural seated position, while gently arched backrests provide supportive lumbar comfort. A lower footrest and fitted interior floor further enhance the bathing experience.
With room for up to six people, the EE8GB creates an inviting environment for shared wellness rituals while offering exceptional space for couples who prefer a more expansive retreat.
The EE8GB is crafted from substantial 1.65-inch-thick Thermo-Spruce barrel staves, naturally modified through a chemical-free process using heat and steam.
Thermal modification enhances the wood's dimensional stability and resistance to moisture-related movement, helping the sauna perform reliably in outdoor environments.
Inside, silky-smooth, knot-free Thermo-Aspen benches and backrests provide a refined seating surface designed for the high temperatures of traditional sauna bathing.
The natural wood interior creates an inviting contrast against the sauna's dramatic black exterior.
Beyond its striking design, the EE8GB incorporates thoughtful engineering to support lasting outdoor performance.
A complete black shingle roofing system and protective drip-edge rails help manage rainfall, while heavy-duty stainless steel barrel bands secure the substantial Thermo-Spruce structure.
Integrated fresh-air intake and exhaust vents support proper ventilation, and dual floor drains help manage water from traditional sauna bathing and wet feet after a cold plunge.
Together, these features create a durable outdoor wellness retreat designed for regular enjoyment through changing seasons.
The EE8GB includes elegant white LED lighting that softly illuminates the warm wood interior and enhances the sauna's inviting atmosphere.
The WiFi-enabled lighting controller provides convenient smartphone operation, while the included wireless handheld remote allows simple adjustments to brightness.
Whether enjoying a refreshing morning session or a peaceful evening ritual, the lighting can be personalized to complement your preferred sauna experience.
Complete your EE8GB with one of NW Immersion's carefully selected traditional sauna heater packages.
Choose a compatible heating system based on your preferred sauna experience, electrical availability, and installation requirements. Available electric options may include premium Harvia and HUUM heaters with traditional or WiFi-enabled controls.
With a properly sized traditional sauna heater and approved stones, enjoy enveloping warmth and the timeless Finnish ritual of löyly steam.
The result is a beautifully considered outdoor sauna that combines bold contemporary architecture, panoramic natural views, exceptional ergonomic comfort, and authentic Scandinavian craftsmanship in one extraordinary wellness retreat.
Sauna heater, sauna stones, professional electrical installation, assembly labor, and exterior painting labor are not included unless specifically selected as part of your purchase.
