Prefabricated saunas are a standalone room that is placed in another room of your home.

A prefab unit might not add the value to your home it does give you all the same health and relaxation benefits as a built in sauna room. One big advantage to prefabricated saunas is the can generally be taken apart to be located. If you ever move your sauna can come with you, or you can easily change its location inside your home. The cost of a precut sauna versus a modular unit is usually cheaper however the increased labor requirement makes the prefab saunas more attractive to many home sauna buyers.

The modular type of sauna seems to be more attractive to sauna buyers. It's easier to assemble, and doesn't require any major adjustment to the interior of you home. Of course if you're up for a bit renovation or are constructing a new home it's the best time to install a precut sauna. Each buyers requirements will be different, and you need to weigh the benefits and disadvantages of each type of sauna room for your application. Consider consulting with experts and sauna contractors in your area if you're unsure of your homes potential to add a sauna.
