Custom Sauna Builder in Dayton, Ohio
Sauna Craft builds custom home and commercial saunas in Dayton and its suburbs: Kettering, Oakwood, Centerville, Beavercreek, Huber Heights, and the rest of the Miami Valley. Our shop is at 15697 Lin Rd in Fortville, Indiana, about 1 hour 55 minutes east on I-70 and I-75 without traffic. That puts Dayton at the edge of the area where we take home projects.

Home saunas in the Miami Valley
Dayton-area houses run from older brick homes in Oakwood and Kettering to newer builds in Beavercreek and Centerville. Older homes often have basements with low ceilings or old mechanicals, so we check ceiling height, moisture, and heater placement before we draw anything. Newer homes often have the basement or a spare room ready to go. Corner builds like the 4–5 person cedar sauna keep framing simple, and an outdoor sauna shed is the answer when there is no room inside. We size the heater to the cubic footage and build in cedar, hemlock, or Nordic spruce.
Ohio rules for commercial rooms
Commercial saunas in Ohio go through the local building department under the Ohio Building Code, with the permit pulled by the general contractor of record. We work under them as the sauna trade and supply the room dimensions and ceiling height, the heater model and electrical requirements, clearances, the ventilation plan, and where the heater, controls, and lighting go. Your electrician runs the dedicated circuit, and the fire protection contractor gets the heater details. For accessibility we follow section 612 of the 2010 ADA Standards: an accessible bench, a turning space, and a door that stays clear of the bench’s floor space.

Scheduling a job two hours out
We cut the number of trips: photos and dimensions first, one site visit to measure and confirm the design, then one build window. Most custom saunas take one to two weeks from the agreed start date, depending on the room’s size and complexity. Every job ends with a walk-through of the heater and controls.
Wood heat and trailers
We build wood-burning saunas as outdoor standalone rooms only, and trailer saunas at our Fortville shop on a trailer you bring us.
