Finnmark Designs FD-3: a four person indoor infrared sauna with a wide bench
The Finnmark Designs FD-3 is a four person indoor infrared sauna. Full spectrum means it mixes two kinds of infrared heaters, carbon panels for gentle all over warmth and Spectrum Plus heaters for stronger direct heat. Red light lamps in the ceiling add a warm glow. The outside is thermo-aspen, which is aspen baked in a kiln so it will not warp or rot. The inside is Western Canadian cedar, a smooth wood that resists mold. Four people can sit on the wide bench across the back. A full glass door lets in light. It takes up about 71 by 45 inches of floor space, so plan for a spot in a basement, a home gym, or a large spare room.
It needs a 240 volt outlet on its own circuit, wired by a licensed electrician. The room warms to 170 degrees in about an hour. Inside you get a touchscreen control panel with Bluetooth and speakers, and adjustable feet for an uneven floor. It comes as a kit of finished panels that screw together. On the page you can add a waterproof cover, a four person vinyl seat cushion, a cedar backrest, a headrest, and wood wax or oil. Want a traditional stove and steam in the same room? See the Finnmark Designs FD-5 hybrid sauna. The Finnmark Designs FD-3 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
Health Benefits
Benefits of Infrared
- The technology of the Spectrum Plus incoloy heaters warms your core body temperature, producing a cleaner, healthier sweat while lowering blood pressure, and maintaining heart health.
- The natural heat produced by the Spectrum Plus heaters is designed to achieve a more controlled hot climate much like a traditional sauna without the unbearable heat temperatures. This deeper penetration through sweating goes beyond the muscle and fat rather than a traditional or hot air sauna. As a result, you’re able to work up the best possible sweat in the least amount of time.
- Spectrum Plus heaters remove 17% more toxins such as cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid.
- Full Spectrum Sauna combination of long-wave Spectrum Carbon 360 infrared panels with UL-listed short-wave Spectrum Plus™ infrared panels. This combination provides higher temperatures, full body coverage, deeper penetration, and better experience than any other sauna.
- Reap the benefits of a more natural pain relief remedy with every infrared sauna session.
- Athletes can appreciate a faster muscle recovery with increased blood flow to the muscles, delivering more concentrated oxygen and creating more energy to heal.

FAQ
Does the FD-3 plug into a regular outlet?
No. This four-person cabin runs on 240 V, 15 A, single phase with a NEMA 6-15P plug, so you need a 240 V receptacle on its own circuit; the product page and the linked manual both say to have an electrician install it. The manual also asks for a properly grounded outlet, no extension cords, and a GFCI in any potentially damp location.
How much room do I need for a four-person infrared sauna?
The cabin is 72 in wide, 46 in deep and 78 in tall on the outside, with a 67 x 41 x 70 in interior of about 111 cubic feet. Add the 3 inches of clearance the manual requires on the top and all sides, so about 78 x 52 in of floor under an 81 in ceiling. The glass door is 23.6 in wide. It is freestanding and should not be built into a structure.
How long does it take to heat up, and how hot does it get?
Maximum temperature is 170 F. The manual’s warm-up table lists 55 to 65 minutes for the 3-4 person model to reach that ceiling, and suggests waiting 15 to 20 minutes for a comfortable temperature before a session. Warm-up depends on the ambient temperature, airflow and placement, and the manual recommends two or three full-heat cycles on first use to burn off factory dust.
How heavy is it, and how does it arrive?
The assembled sauna weighs 488 lb; it ships at 536 lb on a 48 lb wooden pallet measuring about 36 x 78 in. Delivery is curbside by appointment, so plan on help to move the panels inside. Assembly follows the linked manual: bottom panel and feet, back and side panels, bench, front panel with glass door, then the top panel, which the manual says takes two people.
What accessories are included, and which are optional?
The Includes tab covers the complete panel kit, glass door, bench, infrared heater panels, Spectrum LED ceiling lights with red-light therapy, the LCD touchscreen controller with Bluetooth, 6 in HiFi speakers, power supply and hardware. The FD-3 waterproof cover, a 3-4 person marine vinyl cushion, cedar backrest, headrest and wood-care items are optional; they appear in the selectors on this page with their prices. See more infrared saunas here.
How often can I use it, and how long should a session be?
The manual suggests no more than three sessions a week for the first four weeks and daily use after six weeks if you wish. Sessions of at least 30 minutes give noticeable results, with 45 minutes advised for therapeutic use; start at a lower temperature and work up. Drink water before, during and after, and consult your physician first if you have a medical condition or are pregnant.
What does the warranty cover?
The Limited Warranty in the manual linked under the Manual tab covers the original residential purchaser: Spectrum Plus heaters for life; carbon heaters, craftsmanship, electrical components and audio components for 10 years; the lighting remote for 1 year; and commercial use for 5 years. It excludes broken glass, bulbs, weather damage and units placed outdoors without the cover, and freight for parts after 30 days is the customer’s.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.

Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
