Why You'll Love it!

Crafted for Deep Wellness

Inside the Silver Star, every detail is chosen to create an atmosphere of pure relaxation. Heat flows evenly from your choice of a HUUM electric or wood-burning heater, surrounding you in a steady warmth that encourages deep sweating, muscle relief, and renewal. The interior is finished in clear Western Red Cedar and treated with all-natural mineral oil to ensure your sanctuary remains as clean as it is comfortable.

Resilience for the Elements

The Silver Star is purpose-built to handle everything from heavy rain to scorching summer heat without losing its beauty. Its durable exterior features a standing seam metal roof, a sealed cedar deck, and a pressure-treated lumber foundation designed for long-term ground contact. This rugged construction ensures your retreat looks as good years from now as it does on day one.

A Personalized Home Spa

No two Silver Star saunas have to be alike. You can tailor the experience with bespoke upgrades like rock mosaic tiling, exterior showers, or Sauna-ready Red Light Panels. For those seeking the ultimate recovery routine, the Silver Star can be paired with a cold plunge setup on the porch, creating a complete cycle of heat and chill that restores the body and clears the mind.

Shipping & Delivery

White-Glove Delivery Planning

Because the Silver Star Sauna arrives fully assembled, every delivery is handled as a custom-coordinated white-glove logistics process. Prior to purchase, our team will work directly with you to review your property access, delivery conditions, and final sauna placement to ensure a smooth and successful installation experience.

Site Access & Delivery Review

Before your sauna ships, we will evaluate important site details including:

Driveway and road access
Gate openings and clearance widths
Overhead obstructions such as trees or power lines
Terrain and pathway conditions
Final placement location

This planning process helps avoid delivery issues and ensures the sauna can safely reach its destination.

Freight Shipping

The Silver Star Sauna is transported fully assembled via flatbed freight anywhere within the continental United States. Once your sauna build is complete, our team will coordinate directly with you — or your contractor — to schedule delivery.

Shipping costs are invoiced separately after delivery logistics and site conditions are confirmed.

Final Placement & Setup

Because the sauna is delivered as a completed structure, customers will arrange a qualified local mover, crane operator, or equipment handling service to transport the sauna from the delivery point to its final location on the property.

If you select an electric heater, a licensed electrician will also be required for the final electrical connection.

Our team remains closely involved throughout the process and is happy to assist in coordinating with your movers, contractors, and electrician to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

Delivery Support You Can Rely On

Unlike many imported sauna companies, you will work directly with live NW Immersion representatives based in the United States throughout the delivery process. We provide detailed specifications, planning support, and responsive communication from start to finish.

Estimated Shipping Costs

Shipping and delivery costs typically range from $1,500–$5,000+ depending on:

Delivery location
Site accessibility

Projects requiring specialty equipment or complex placement conditions may incur additional costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lead times can vary depending on our current build timeline, but most Silver Star saunas are completed within a few months. You’ll get a clear timeline when you Reserve Now so there are no surprises.

Absolutely. You’re welcome to visit our Vancouver, WA showroom to step inside a completed Silver Star and experience the quality and craftsmanship firsthand. If you’re not local, we can set up a live virtual walkthrough so you can explore the sauna in detail from wherever you are.

Permit requirements vary by location, but most customers don’t need one. The Silver Star has been intentionally designed to fall below permit size thresholds in the vast majority of cities and counties.

You’ll want a level base ready (concrete pad, pavers, or compacted gravel) and a clear path for delivery/installation. If you’re choosing an electric heater, you’ll also need electrical run to the unit. We’ll guide you through exact requirements before your build starts.

Very little. The cedar is naturally durable, and maintenance mainly involves:

occasional cleaning
optional exterior sealing (if you want to maintain color)
standard heater care

We’ll give you simple guidelines to keep it looking great long-term.

You can choose between electric and wood-fired heaters:

Electric: easiest, low maintenance, push-button convenience - now all of our electric heaters include WiFi control at no additional cost, so you can preheat your sauna from your phone.
Wood-fired: more traditional experience, off-grid capable

We’ll help you choose based on your lifestyle, location, and preferences.

We stand behind our builds. If anything comes up, our team is available to help troubleshoot, guide repairs, or answer questions. You’re not on your own after delivery—we stay in your corner.

Depending on your heater choice, the sauna can reach up to 230°F. Most electric setups heat up in 45-60 minutes, and with WiFi control, you can have it ready before you even step outside.

Yes—once the sauna is set in place and your heater is connected (if electric), it’s ready to use. There’s no complicated assembly required.

Before your first session, we recommend a quick initial setup and burn-in to ensure the best experience:

1. Prepare the heater rocks

Rinse the sauna rocks with water to remove any dust from shipping
Place them properly into the heater according to the manufacturer’s guidelines

2. Run a burn-in cycle

Turn the heater on and bring the sauna up to a high temperature (around 180–200°F)
Let it run for 45–60 minutes with the door slightly cracked or vents open for airflow
This burns off any residual oils or manufacturing materials

3. Light clean

Once cooled, wipe down benches and interior surfaces if needed
After that, your sauna is fully ready to enjoy.

Yes. The Silver Star is built for year-round outdoor use, including cold climates. Proper insulation and premium materials ensure it performs consistently even in winter conditions.
