At Balance Recovery, we take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of all our saunas. To give you complete confidence in your purchase, we offer a 2-year warranty when the sauna is installed by a professional or an approved installer. For customers who choose to self-assemble, a 1-year warranty applies.

To maintain product longevity and ensure the warranty remains valid, please follow the guidance below:

Finishing Requirements:
Self-assembled wooden saunas must be treated both internally and externally with a suitable breathable wood oil immediately after installation. This is essential to validate the warranty.

Missing or Defective Components:
If any components are missing or damaged upon delivery or during assembly, please take clear photographs and contact us immediately at contact@balancerecovery.co.uk

Missing parts must be reported within 24 hours of receiving the product. Claims submitted after this timeframe will not qualify for free replacement, though parts can still be supplied at an additional cost.

Foundation Requirements:
The sauna must be installed on a level, properly prepared base to ensure correct alignment of doors, windows, and structural elements.

Warranty Terms:

The warranty is valid for 2 years from handover for professionally installed saunas, and 1 year for self-assembled units—provided all instructions and finishing requirements are followed.

The warranty covers manufacturing faults, construction defects, and missing components.

Replacement or repair of parts does not extend the original warranty period.

Claims must include photographic evidence and full details, sent to contact@balancerecovery.co.uk
within the required timeframe.

Balance Recovery reserves the right to request additional inspection or involve independent experts if necessary.

Warranty Exclusions

The following are not covered under the warranty:

Damage caused by incorrect self-assembly or failure to follow installation instructions.

Products stored outdoors in flatpack form and exposed to the elements.

Transport damage, which must be reported to the courier immediately.

Issues arising from an uneven or unsuitable foundation.

Failure to finish the wood inside and out after assembly.

Natural wood characteristics, including knots, resin pockets, tone variations, expansion, contraction, or minor cracking.

Breakage or damage to glass components and condensation on glass.

Loss, damage, or defects caused by theft, vandalism, or extreme weather conditions.

Warranty Invalidation

The warranty will be void if:

The buyer fails to inspect the product’s contents and condition before assembly.

Missing parts are not reported within 24 hours of delivery.

Faulty or incorrect components are installed despite being identifiable before assembly.

Incorrect details are provided, or proof of purchase cannot be supplied.

Contact Information:

1. Place Your Order

Choose your BR Traditional Thermowood Barrel Sauna 2–3 Person and any optional upgrades (heater model, glass door/front wall, LED lighting, accessories such as bucket & ladle, head-rests). Complete your order through our website, providing your delivery address. You will receive a confirmation email immediately with your order details, the estimated delivery timeframe, and any next steps.

Since this is a made-to-order product and a large one, please send us a detailed video of your home and the surrounding space where you would like the sauna to be delivered and placed. This allows us to confirm that the delivery truck and unloading equipment can safely access your property. We also ensure the sauna is placed in the correct location at delivery (kerbside) if you decide to hire our team to unload and place your product for you.

2. Order Processing & Manufacturing

Once your order is confirmed, we schedule production of your sauna. The BR Traditional Thermowood Barrel Sauna is handcrafted from premium Thermowood, chosen for its exceptional durability, visual appeal, and superior thermal performance. The sauna shell, benches, and other components are manufactured, inspected, and packed for dispatch.

3. Delivery Organisation

When your unit is ready, we arrange for the delivery of the flat-pack components on a pallet to your address (kerbside). You will be notified of a delivery date and time, as well as any logistical requirements (e.g., an accessible driveway and unloading space).

We deliver your product straight from the manufacturer to your doorstep to minimise carbon emissions and avoid double shipping; therefore, unloading is not included in the delivery price. If you would like our team to assist with unloading, this service is available for an additional fee.

4. Pre-Installation Preparation

Before delivery, you should prepare the site:

Ensure the base is entirely level and strong enough to support the sauna’s weight (approx. 600 kg when empty) plus the occupants.

Clear the access route and delivery area so the pallet can be brought in and components unloaded without obstruction.

Electrical preparation is your responsibility, and requirements may vary depending on your property layout. Arrange a qualified electrician ahead of time. The heater for this sauna typically ranges — for example, the standard 6 kW unit is recommended for a volume of 5.5 m³. It may require a dedicated supply (single- or three-phase), correct cable sizing, and an isolator. We also recommend that the electrician you appoint is present for the entirety of the last day, especially if you have add-ons such as LED lighting or thermostats.

We have a dedicated section for each product called “Electrical Supply”, which can clarify anything you are unsure of further.

Review the assembly manual in advance (provided with your order) and ensure you have any required tools and workforce lined up if you are self-assembling the sauna yourself.

5. Delivery & Unloading

On the scheduled delivery day, the pallet containing your sauna components will arrive. You will need to unload the pallet (either manually or via a pump truck/trolley, if available) and move the components to your designated base area. Once unpacked, check that all parts are present and undamaged. Report any missing or faulty components within 24 hours of delivery to preserve your warranty eligibility.

6. Installation / Assembly

Professional Installation:
If you opt for our installation service, our team of carpenters will assemble the barrel sauna in one full day (for a stated cost of approximately £1,500 + VAT, anywhere in UK Mainland ).

Self-assembly (flat-pack):
Follow the detailed instruction manual to assemble the sauna. If you’re handy, this task could take a few days; our team estimates that one week is typical, unless you have prior carpentry experience.

Use a correctly rated isolator switch.

Ensure wiring and cable size comply with UK electrical regulations (such as BS 7671).

The heater draw for a 6 kW unit at 230 V single-phase is approximately 26 amps; cable sizing and supply type can vary depending on run length and phase.

Provide your electrician with the heater manufacturer’s manual in advance so they understand the wiring instructions and safe connection requirements.

7. Finishing Touches & Safety Check

Once the sauna is assembled:

Immediately apply a breathable oil-based finish to the interior and exterior wooden surfaces. This is mandatory for validating your warranty.

Check that the structure is level, doors and windows operate smoothly, and ventilation is installed as specified.

After your electrician has completed the wiring, perform a first warm-up test — the sauna should reach its target temperature efficiently (e.g., ~80 °C).

Ensure that all electrical work is complete, safe, and that any required certifications or inspections have been obtained.

8. Enjoy Your Sauna & Support

Now you’re ready to relax! Step into your BR Traditional Thermowood Barrel Sauna 2–3 Person and enjoy the L-shaped bench layout, glass door feature, optional LED lighting, and the crafted Thermowood interior.

Please remember:

If you self-assembled, your warranty is 1 year (manufacturer’s warranty on parts only).

Improper or uncertified electrical installations may void the warranty; therefore, all electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

If any components are missing upon delivery, you must report them within 24 hours.

For any assistance or replacement parts, our support team is ready to help.
Please read through the Returns and Refunds Policy to understand how it applies to made-to-order products.
