Sun Home Saunas Enters Traditional Steam Market with Nova Line

The Nova collection, available in 3-person and 5-person configurations, centers on the HUUM Drop electric rock heater. Capable of reaching 230°F, the system allows users to generate traditional löyly—the distinctive burst of steam created by pouring water over heated stones. To accommodate this intense thermal environment, the cabins are constructed with Canadian cedar and feature hand-laid carbonized hexagonal tiles imported from an Estonian workshop, secured with marine-grade stainless steel fasteners.

Functionality remains a priority in the new design, which incorporates dual-stack benches for varying heat intensity and an integrated electronic ventilation system to manage airflow. According to Co-CEO Tyler Fish, the project aims to modernize the aesthetic of traditional bathing without compromising the raw heat and steam rituals that define it. The units are controlled via a dedicated Wi-Fi app, allowing for remote scheduling and pre-heating. Because the heaters require 240V power, the company mandates professional installation by a licensed electrician. Pricing for the Nova line starts at $10,599 for the 3-person model and $14,599 for the 5-person version, with both models qualifying for HSA/FSA payment options.
