Modern Scandinavian Design
The Higi embraces the clean lines and functional beauty of Scandinavian architecture. Built using precision-milled 44 mm tongue-and-groove Nordic Spruce, every wall locks tightly together while allowing the wood to naturally expand and contract with changing temperatures. This proven construction method creates an exceptionally strong structure while maximizing energy efficiency and even heat distribution throughout the sauna.
Premium Nordic Spruce Construction
Nordic Spruce has been the preferred building material for traditional European saunas for generations. Its beautiful grain, light colour, and pleasant natural aroma create a bright and welcoming sauna environment while offering excellent durability when properly maintained.
- Bright Scandinavian Appearance: The light colour creates an open, spacious feel.
- Excellent Stability: Naturally performs well in changing temperatures and humidity.
- Sustainably Harvested: Responsibly sourced Nordic Spruce from managed forests.
- Traditional Sauna Material: Used throughout Finland and Scandinavia for generations.
Premium Aspen Interior
The Higi features beautiful knotless Aspen benches and backrests that remain comfortable to the touch even at elevated sauna temperatures. Aspen's smooth finish and low thermal conductivity make it one of the most sought-after materials for premium sauna interiors.
Designed for Efficient Heating
The spacious interior, insulated construction, and precision-milled wall system help create excellent heat retention and balanced airflow throughout the sauna. Choose between one of our premium electric or wood-burning sauna heaters to customize your ideal sauna experience.

TOULE
Available in 6 kW & 9 kW Models: $786 – $949 CAD
For the price point vs quality, it doesn't get much better than this! This heater is the best bang for your buck both in its reliability and the features of this specific model (off-board digital controls, timers, etc.).

HARVIA KIP
Available in 6 kW & 8 kW Models: $1 199 – $1 399 CAD
Harvia has been the biggest name in sauna heaters for over 70 years! The Harvia FLB model, made by Harvia in Finland, is a traditional Finnish-style wall-mounted sauna heater. What this one lacks in special and aesthetic features; it makes up for in heat and getting the job done.
| Pros | Cons |

Harvia Cilindro
The Harvia Cilindro heater, known for its unique design featuring a massive stone quantity, offers a blend of gentle and powerful steam options. It's ideal for those seeking a versatile sauna experience, capable of creating a traditional sauna atmosphere with the convenience of electric heating.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|

|
With its modern yet traditional functionality, the Harvia Cilindro is perfect for sauna users who enjoy customizing their sauna sessions with varying steam intensity, all while adding a touch of elegance to their sauna space.
HUUM HIVE CLIFF
Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models
Want a lot of thermal mass but still have a quicker heat-up time? That’s exactly what the HUUM CLIFF delivers. Its tall, open column exposes every stone directly to the elements, so the 165 lb rock load races to temperature faster than bulkier heaters with even more stone. The result is a rich, wood-fired feel powered by clean, reliable electricity—with far less waiting around before you step inside. Sleek, sculptural, and space-saving, the CLIFF turns your sauna wall into an eye-catching accent while surrounding you in deep, lingering warmth.

HUUM HIVE MINI
Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models
These are one of our best sellers! The HUUM line of products offers a more traditional sauna experience by limiting metal and increasing total rock surface area. This provides a closer wood-fired experience with the reliability of electricity. Many of our customers prefer the design of the HUUM as it is an accent piece against the backdrop of your high-quality wood sauna.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
HUUM DROP
Available in 6 kW and 9 kW Models
Very similar to the HUUM Hive and HUUM Hive Mini. The HUUM Drop offers a round design that softens and livens up the angular interior of a classic sauna, giving it a touch of elegance. But DROP isn’t only about the looks. This compact wall-mounted heater can actually fit up to 55 kg of stones, exceeding most wood-burning stoves and guaranteeing long-lasting steam.
