Question 10

Can the Amplify RED or Amplify sauna be used outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Our saunas are engineered for indoor use. If you plan to place your sauna outdoors—with or without a roof—a custom sauna cover is required to maintain your warranty coverage.

For best results, consult our placement guidelines or speak with a Sauna Consultant.

EMFs (electromagnetic fields) are invisible waves of energy associated with electricity and wireless technologies.
