Polhus Narvik by the sea in Cornwall

Polhus selected an excellent courier to deliver our Narvik sauna to our village in Cornwall UK. They used a small truck to suit the narrow lanes, as I requested, and came on time. It took me two days to build the sauna as Polhus estimated, and I used stainless screws instead on rhe ones supplied becuase we live very close to the sea and any other material rusts instantly.
The sauna went together well with no problems, and I found the instructions pretty good.
We love using the sauna, and love the smell of the thermowood interior Afterwards we open our gate and jump into the sea!

Effortless International Experience with Polhus Malmö

Our experience with Polhus in Malmö has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first contact, their customer service and follow-up have been world-class – every question answered promptly, every detail taken care of with genuine care. Even though we purchased from another country, the process could not have been smoother. The sauna itself is exactly as promised: beautifully designed, high-quality, and a perfect fit for our prestigious celebration house. Our guests absolutely love it, and it has elevated the luxury experience we offer. Polhus doesn’t just sell saunas – they deliver trust, reliability, and five-star wellness living. Winning a cold tub would be the ultimate finishing touch, but even now, we can proudly say Polhus has made our property shine.

We recently bought a sauna from Polhus and overall we are very happy with both the product and the customer service. The sauna itself has a really lovely quality – solid materials, beautiful design, and it feels great to use.

Along the way we experienced a few small hiccups during the process, but every time Polhus’ customer service was quick, helpful, and made sure things were resolved. That gave us a lot of confidence and made the whole experience smooth in the end.

All in all, we now have a fantastic sauna in our garden and we couldn’t be more pleased. We’d happily recommend Polhus to others.

Sauna Jorvik delivered early July and installed 11th July. Product looks good however it is far from an easy process

- Installation does not include any electrical work so as of September still trying to get this sorted
- Numerous parts arrive untreated. Installers (who were very good) fit these. I then had to remove them all to treat them, benches, trims etc and some parts underneath the sauna impossible to treat properly. You would think when you order a Thermowood sauna everything would be treated.
- Not clear that if your want both benches to be illuminated you have to order 2 sets of LED strips. These took an age to arrive.
- Sauna is letting in water. The installers have come out and tried to seal. Hoping once I get the sauna working wood will dry out.
- You have to oil the benches and floor as well

Amazing customer service

Ahmed was really helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects of the product. He didn't push the most expensive heater but rather the heater that was right for me. And he made sure I got the best deal at all times. I'm really looking forward to my sauna arriving.

Good and value for the money

The sauna set got delivered in time and the instructions were (mostly) clear. It was not clear how and where the light and the wooden light cover should sit and now screws or bolts were there to mount it. We figured that out ourselves and got a little bit money back as compensation. All in all a good experience and meanwhile my sister also got a sauna installed…

Missing confirmation email/delivery date

Didnt get a confirmation email after I had paid for the order. Support was friendly when i called them. Still dont have a delivery date even though i requested this to be shipped asap as this is an oder with missing parts that we need to finish setting up the gardenhouses.

Hi Constantin,
I’m sorry that the confirmation email didn’t reach you right after your order. It’s sent automatically, but sometimes ends up in the spam folder.

We confirmed your payment by email on August 22 and have since sent you two updates about the delivery. Your order is now scheduled to leave our warehouse in Estonia in week 36. You’ll get an email once it has been shipped and after that the local transport company will contact you to plan the final delivery.

I completely understand how important these parts are for finishing your garden houses and I hope this update gives you some peace of mind. If you have any other questions, just reach out to us.

Kind regards,
Lina, Polhus

Great service and advice

Great service - researched and then clicked to get a quote from their website which started an email thread with one of their team who had extremely helpful advice based on my specific needs and constraints. Made this process extremely easy, thank you Ahmed!

Great company

Purchased a Loke sauna last year and was supported at all stages by the excellent after sales service. The kit arrived well packed and with no issues. Wood quality was exceptional with precision cut pieces that fitted together well ( just like I used to build model planes and boats but on a larger scale ). We have been using the sauna for nearly a year now and are really pleased with it. Highly recommend this company.
