Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & Delivery
Your LeisureCraft sauna, plunge tub, hot tub or outdoor shower is handcrafted to order in Melancthon, Ontario and ships by insured LTL freight. Freight and all cross-border charges are included in the price — no separate shipping cost, no customs bill at the door.
Build time, not ship time. Every unit is made to order, so each product page shows an estimated build date rather than a delivery date. Transit is additional, and build dates move with production volume — peak season runs February through May. We confirm your date in writing once your order is placed.
What the carrier does. The freight company calls to schedule an appointment and delivers to the end of your driveway or the curb, usually on an 18-wheel truck. The driver will not unload your crate and will not back into your driveway. Check that a truck that size can reach your property before you order.
CRITICAL — you are responsible for unloading. Crates run 6 to 14 feet long and 800 to 1,600 pounds depending on the model, with the largest builds heavier still. If your crate is 84 inches or shorter, the carrier may have a liftgate to help lower it. Longer than that there is no liftgate, which covers most of the barrel and cabin range. You will need a forklift with extensions (crates lift from the end), a trailer to collect from the terminal, or a crew on hand. We can arrange a tilt-tow truck for $1,250 if you would rather not. Plan this before you order and we will work it out with you.
Inspect before you sign. If the crate arrives damaged, accept it, photograph everything before moving it, and write "Crate arrived open/damaged — Possible Hidden Damage" on the Bill of Lading. Then call us within 72 hours. A clean signature releases the carrier and makes a claim nearly impossible to win.
Good to know. Changing your shipping address after the unit leaves the factory costs $350 — free before it ships, so tell us early. If a delivery appointment stalls because calls go unreturned, the terminal charges $35 per day in storage. Both are manufacturer charges passed through at cost. Heaters and accessories ship separately and usually arrive sooner.
Questions before you order? Call or text (888) 500-5675, Mon–Sat 9am–6pm EST. We coordinate every delivery ourselves.
Included freight applies to standard residential curbside delivery in the contiguous 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii and Canada require a quote before ordering. Build and transit times are estimates, not guarantees. Applies to the LeisureCraft Canadian Timber Collection. View our full Shipping & Delivery policy →
Warranty
Warranty
All products designed and manufactured by Dundalk LeisureCraft — including the Canadian Timber Collection — are covered against defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use for 5 years from the day you receive the product.
What's covered. Replacement of defective parts. Service, labor and installation costs are expressly excluded by the manufacturer, and a replacement part does not extend the original 5-year period.
What's not. Normal wear and tear, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, natural weather conditions, and failure to follow the installation and care instructions.
Heaters, stoves and chillers. These sit on LeisureCraft's separate component schedule, and LeisureCraft honors the component manufacturer's terms directly — same coverage, same duration. Electric heaters carry 3 years (elements and rocks excluded; HUUM also excludes sensors). Wood-burning stoves run 2 years to 5 years, with LeisureCraft's own Timberglow at 5, excluding the glass door, ash grate and rocks; LeisureCraft chimney kits carry 5 years with no exclusions. Chillers carry 1 to 2 years. Component coverage is parts only. We confirm the exact term for your configuration in writing before you order.
Use a licensed electrician. All electrical connections on heaters and chillers must be made by a licensed electrician, or LeisureCraft voids the component warranty. Improper installation is excluded from the 5-year sauna warranty as well.
If you've seen a 3-year figure. Some older listings and in-box manuals still show 3 years for the Canadian Timber Collection. LeisureCraft's current published policy is 5 years, and that's the coverage we confirm in writing with every order.
Residential use, and registration. The 5-year term is written for normal residential use; LeisureCraft publishes no commercial warranty. Buying for a gym, clinic, spa, hotel or rental? Call us first and we'll get the factory's position in writing. We send the manufacturer's registration link with your order confirmation — registering keeps future claims straightforward.
How to make a claim. Contact us — as your authorized dealer we handle the claim with the manufacturer for you. Email sales@recoveryroomdirect.com or call (888) 500-5675 with your order number and photos of the issue.

Return Policy
Return Policy
LeisureCraft Canadian Timber products are handcrafted for your specific order in Melancthon, Ontario. Because each unit is built to order, the manufacturer does not accept returns or exchanges — so please call us before you buy if anything is unclear. We would far rather answer questions first than have you end up with the wrong sauna.
Cancellations. Production is scheduled as soon as your order is placed. Contact us as early as you can at (888) 500-5675 — if your build hasn't started we'll do everything we can to cancel at no cost. If it has, we'll tell you plainly where you stand.
Damaged on arrival? You're covered. Transit damage is handled by replacement, not return. Accept the shipment, photograph the damage before moving anything, and write "Crate arrived open/damaged — Possible Hidden Damage" on the Bill of Lading before signing. Call us within 72 hours and the manufacturer ships replacement wood or components at no charge. Damage reported after a clean signature is very difficult to claim — this step is what protects you.
Five-year residential warranty. Products manufactured by LeisureCraft carry a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use for five years from the day you receive them. Valid claims are resolved with replacement parts at no charge.
What it doesn't cover. The warranty is parts only — service, labour and installation are expressly excluded, and a replaced part doesn't restart the five years. It excludes normal wear and tear, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, weather damage, and failure to follow the care instructions. Cedar is a natural material: seasonal movement and colour change to silver-grey are normal and are not defects.
Two exceptions worth knowing. The warranty is written for residential use — if you're buying for a gym, clinic, spa or rental property, call us first so we can confirm your coverage in writing. And sauna heaters are not LeisureCraft-made: Harvia, HUUM and Narvi units carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we'll point you to the right terms.
Warranty begins on the date the product is received by the original end-user. Register your warranty with the manufacturer to keep future claims straightforward — we'll send the link with your order confirmation. We're here Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm EST. View our full Return Policy →

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Canadian Timber Collection · Model 605003
The CT Element Loft: the Nook’s footprint, with twenty more inches of bench
Full glass front, thermally modified Thermo Grandis instead of cedar, and an optional warm lighting package. The Loft is the 54x74: 135 cubic feet, comfortable for two or three. Here is the part that settles most Nook-or-Loft decisions, and it comes straight off the drawings, the Loft is exactly as deep as the Nook, 54¾ inches on both. It is not a bigger box. It is the same box with twenty more inches of bench run.
Like every Element it is built to order in Melancthon, Ontario, and ships as pre-cut panels rather than a finished cabin, so it goes through a normal doorway and down a normal stairwell. Traditional rock-and-steam heat, not infrared, you can ladle water and it will take it.
Pay over time with Shop Pay Installments at checkout, or finance through APPROVE, both shown on this page. Rates and terms depend on the amount financed and are subject to approval.
Watch the build
Watch the Dundalk LeisureCraft CT Element Loft go together
LeisureCraft's own build footage, filmed on this exact model. It is the clearest look at the Loft's interior, the bench run and the glass front that exists, and it shows you what a build day actually involves before you order rather than after.
Straight answer first
Where the Loft earns its place: and what it asks of your room
Most people sizing an indoor sauna assume the next size up needs a deeper recess. On the Element it does not. The Loft is 54¾ inches deep, the same as the Nook; what it needs is twenty more inches of wall. If you have measured a wall and found the depth works but you were not sure about the length, that is the whole question, and it is usually the easier one to answer.
The reason to want those twenty inches is simple: two adults stop taking turns. In the Nook, two people is companionable. In the Loft, two people is comfortable, and a third is possible. Bench height, bench depth and interior height are unchanged from the Nook, so nothing about how it feels to sit in it changes, there is just more of it.
If the sauna is going outdoors, look at the cedar barrel and cabin models instead. If you want infrared, this is the wrong product; the Element is traditional rock-and-steam.
Core material
Why the Loft is Thermo Grandis and not cedar
The wood is thermally modified in Ontario before it is ever cut. The process drives moisture and sugars out of the timber, which is what makes it hold its shape in a room that swings from ambient to sauna temperature several times a week. Wood that still holds sugar moves, cups and weeps.
It also produces the deep, even brown you see in the photographs. That is the treatment, not a stain or a veneer, so it does not wear off the surface, and there is nothing to reapply.
Element Loft construction
What the Loft is actually made of
Triple-layer walls
Interior wood, a vapor barrier, an air gap and an exterior finish. The air gap is the useful part: it lets an electrician route the heater and light wiring inside the wall, so nothing is surface-mounted down a panel you have to look at.
Fully framed floor
A fully framed floor on solid wood joists with a Thermo Grandis surface, so the room arrives structurally finished rather than needing a base built for it. It sits level on an existing floor with no separate pan and no drain, which is what lets an Element go into a basement or a spare room without plumbing work.
10 mm glass, 20-inch upper bench
The door and front window are 10 mm glass, noticeably thicker than the glass on the outdoor barrel and cabin models. LeisureCraft publishes the upper bench at 20 inches wide and the lower at 15; its section drawing puts the upper bench 36 inches off the floor, with the lower at 18, the same section on all three sizes.
Choosing your heater
Your heater: and why 6 kW is not a preference
The Element is electric only, and the output is decided by the room, not by preference, the Loft takes 6 kW. Worth knowing before you compare: the Studio takes 6 kW as well, so stepping up to the largest Element does not step up the electrical requirement. Three heaters fit, and the choice between them is about control and floor space.
Harvia KIP
Finnish, wall-mounted, with the controls built into the heater itself. LeisureCraft publishes its stone capacity at 44 lb (20 kg), the smallest of the three, and it is the only one of the three with no Wi-Fi option. The straightforward choice, and the lowest-priced of the three.
Homecraft Revive Slim
Canadian-made and only eight inches deep, 13.5″ x 8″ x 36″, so it gives back the most floor space of the three in a small room. Holds 100 lb (45 kg) of stone, more than double the Harvia, which is what lets it hold a steadier temperature through a long session. It runs from its own Homecraft control, local or Wi-Fi, which you choose with the heater at the top of this page.
HUUM Drop
Estonian-made, and the stone champion of the three: 120 lb (55 kg) against the Harvia’s 44 lb, nearly three times as much, and that mass is what gives the softer, longer-lasting steam. Wall-mounted, run from its own HUUM UKU control unit (local or Wi-Fi, chosen with the heater at the top of this page), and the one buyers pick on looks as much as on output.
Your heater is chosen at the top of this page and added to your order as its own line. That is how LeisureCraft builds them, and it is why you are not paying for a heater that is wrong for your room; the recommended output for this room is marked in the heater list. If you want a second opinion before you choose, call (888) 500-5675. Already own a suitable heater? Order the sauna on its own and we will check the specification with you first. One warranty note worth having in writing: LeisureCraft’s published schedule lists three years on the HUUM Drop, excluding elements, rocks and sensors, while HUUM’s own marketing quotes five. Three years is the term we buy under, and the one we confirm with your order.
Living with it
What a week in the Element Loft actually looks like
Two people, no turns
The twenty inches the Loft adds over the Nook are twenty inches of bench. Two adults sit without arranging themselves around each other, which is the difference between a sauna two people own and a sauna two people share.
The longer session
Twenty minutes, a ladle of water, then longer if you are recovering rather than warming up. More air in the room means the heat holds more evenly when the door has been opened.
When someone else is over
Three at a push. The Loft is where the Element stops being personal equipment and starts being something you offer people, which is also when the lighting package earns its keep.
Who buys this one
Three people who land on the Loft
The couple who both use it
The single most common reason to move up from the Nook. Two adults, most days, without one of them waiting, and without needing a deeper recess than the Nook would have taken.
The long, shallow wall
Basements are usually longer than they are deep. The Loft asks for twenty more inches of wall and not one inch more depth, which is why it fits rooms people had written off.
The buyer who measured twice
People who start on the Nook and re-measure often end up here. If the depth already worked, the Loft costs you wall length and nothing else structural.
Full specifications
Loft indoor sauna specifications, next to the Nook and the Studio
All three share the same construction, the same 80½-inch interior height, the same Thermo Grandis and the same electric-only design. Footprint and heater size are what change.
| Spec | Nook (54x54) | Loft (54x74)you are here | Studio (64x84) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfortably seats | 1 to 2 people | 2 to 3 people | 2 to 4 people |
| Interior volume | 93 cu ft / 2.6 m³ | 135 cu ft / 3.8 m³ | 191 cu ft / 5.4 m³ |

*Dealer-reported crate weights. LeisureCraft does not publish a packaged weight; it varies with the heater and options included.
Dimensions are LeisureCraft's published figures, checked against their engineering drawings, all three interior volumes reconcile exactly. Note that LeisureCraft's own spec table mis-prints the Studio's exterior metric conversions, it lists 64.75" as 215 cm and 84.75" as 224 cm, where the correct figures are 164 cm and 215 cm. The imperial figures above govern.
Also available: Element Nook (54x54) and Element Studio (64x84). Not sure which fits? Compare the interior volumes above rather than the footprints, that is the number that decides how the room actually feels.
Ownership, in numbers
What the Element Loft costs to use, once it is in the room
The Loft is where the arithmetic changes, because two people using a sauna together halve its cost per session without changing anything about the purchase. That is the honest argument for stepping up from the Nook, and it is the only ROI number that actually differs between the three sizes.
Divide your delivered price by 780 for one user, or by 2,340 if three of you use it. That is your genuine cost per session. We would rather give you the arithmetic than invent an average.
What you are not paying for separately
- Freight to the contiguous 48 states, and all cross-border duties
- Framing, vapor barrier and interior cladding, the panels arrive finished
- A floor, a pan or a drain, the framed floor is part of the build
- Upper and lower benches, backrest, and the 10 mm tempered glass front
- A chimney, a permit for one, or an opening cut through an exterior wall
- Assembly labor, if you and one other person build it yourselves
What arrives
What arrives on the truck
- Pre-cut, pre-drilled Thermo Grandis wall and ceiling panels
- Fully framed floor section with Thermo Grandis surface
- Upper and lower bench sections
- 10 mm tempered glass door and front window
- All assembly hardware
- Assembly manual (linked on this page)
The heater, its control, interior lighting and accessory package are all chosen at the top of this page and added to your order as their own lines, so you get the combination that suits your room rather than a fixed bundle. If you already own a suitable heater, choose Without a heater and we will check its output with you before the build.

Free delivery
Getting the Loft into the room
Freight included
Freight and all cross-border charges are already in the price, curbside to the contiguous 48 states. A few situations do add cost, a tilt-tow truck, an address change after the crate has shipped, or terminal storage if a delivery appointment stalls. Every one of them is avoidable, and every one is listed in plain language on our shipping policy.
Built to order
Nothing is stocked. Your unit joins the production queue in Melancthon, Ontario, and is cut to your order, which is also why LeisureCraft accepts no returns on it. Your build confirmation comes to you in writing with the production window and the exact crate dimensions. The Loft crate runs about 802 lb, a dealer-reported figure, since LeisureCraft does not publish a packaged weight.
Inspect before you sign
Photograph any damage and write it on the Bill of Lading before you sign, then call us within 72 hours. A clean signature makes a freight claim very hard to win. The crate arrives on an LTL truck and curbside is what is included; White Glove inside delivery and assembly is an option in the buy box above. Either way, confirm the crate dimensions and your access route with us before you order, that is the step that goes wrong most often.
Because each unit is cut for your order, LeisureCraft does not accept returns or exchanges at any point. If your build has not started we will do everything we can to cancel at no cost, call us the moment anything changes. Read our LeisureCraft shipping policy and return policy before ordering, and call us with any doubt, because we would rather talk it through first.
Before you start. Heat loads the cardiovascular system. If you are pregnant, have heart disease, high or low blood pressure, a seizure disorder or diabetes, have a pacemaker or another implanted cardiac or electronic device, are recovering from surgery, have Raynaud's syndrome, or take medication affecting blood pressure, thermoregulation or alertness, speak to your doctor first. This is not an exhaustive list, if you have any health condition, ask your doctor before you start. Never use a sauna after drinking alcohol, and children should not use one unsupervised.
Buyer questions
Element Loft 3-person indoor sauna: the questions buyers actually ask
What actually changes between the Element Nook and the Element Loft?
The wall length, and almost nothing else. On LeisureCraft's dimensioned drawings both are 54¾ inches deep and 88 1/16 inches tall; the Loft is 74¾ inches wide against the Nook's 54¾. Interior height (80½ inches), bench heights (36 and 18 inches) and bench depth (20 inches) are identical. Interior volume goes from 93 to 135 cubic feet and the heater steps from 4.5 kW to 6 kW.
Will the Loft fit where a Nook fits?
In depth, yes, they are the same 54¾ inches, so a recess or alcove deep enough for a Nook is deep enough for a Loft. What changes is the run along the wall: you need twenty more inches of it. Height is unchanged at 88 1/16 inches assembled, so measure your ceiling once and it covers both.
Does the bigger room take longer to heat than the Nook?
There is more air in it, and the heater steps up to 6 kW to account for that, LeisureCraft sizes the output to the volume for exactly this reason. Heat-up time also depends on your heater choice, your stone load and the room the sauna is standing in, so the recommended output is marked in the heater list at the top of this page, and we would rather do that than publish a heat-up number that will not hold.
Can I fit a wood-burning heater?
No. The Element line is electric-only by design, because it is built for rooms where a chimney isn't practical. If you want wood-fired heat, look at the outdoor barrel and cabin models instead.
What electrical work does it need?
A dedicated circuit and a licensed electrician. Your heater's own installation manual, your electrician and your local inspector govern; we send you the manufacturer's sheet with your order. Improper installation is excluded from the warranty. The triple-layer wall includes an air gap specifically so the heater and light wiring can be routed inside the wall rather than surface-mounted.
How hard is it to assemble, and how long does it take?
It ships as pre-cut, pre-drilled panels. LeisureCraft's manual calls for two people, a cordless drill, a nail gun, a level and square, silicone, wood glue and putty; the inside corner trims are cut to fit on site. Budget a full day rather than an afternoon. The complete assembly manual is linked on this page so you can read it before you order, not after, and the build video runs the whole thing start to finish.
Will it fit through a standard door?
It arrives as flat panels, not assembled, which is the whole point of the panelized build. The crate is a freight crate rather than a parcel, so plan for the delivery, but the panels themselves go through a normal doorway and down a normal stairwell. Assembled, the Loft stands 88.0625" tall, measure your ceiling before you order, and call us if it's tight.
Does it need a floor drain or plumbing?
No. The Element includes a fully framed floor on solid wood joists with a Thermo Grandis surface, so it sits on your finished floor without a drain, a pan or any plumbing. A traditional sauna uses very little water, what you ladle onto the stones evaporates.
What does the warranty cover?
Five years, residential, against defects in materials and workmanship, running from the day you receive it. It is a parts-only warranty, service, labor and installation are excluded, and a replaced part does not restart the five years. Heaters sit outside it and carry their own manufacturer terms, which we confirm in writing with your order. Full terms are on the LeisureCraft warranty page.
Can I pay for this over time?
Yes. Shop Pay Installments is available at checkout, and APPROVE offers financing for larger orders including business and commercial buyers. Both are shown on this page. Terms, the length of the plan and whether interest applies all depend on the amount financed and on approval, so the exact offer is the one presented to you at checkout rather than anything we can quote here. Call us if you would rather talk it through before you apply.
What happens if I change my mind after ordering?
Every Element is cut for your specific order, so LeisureCraft does not accept returns or exchanges at any point, that is their policy, not a restocking-fee arrangement, and we would rather you knew it before you order than after. If your build has not started we will do everything we can to cancel it at no cost to you, which is why the single most useful thing you can do is call the moment anything changes. Our full LeisureCraft return policy sets out where you stand.
Is a traditional sauna safe for me?
For most healthy adults, used sensibly, yes, but heat genuinely loads the cardiovascular system, so this is a question for your doctor rather than for us. Speak to them first if you are pregnant, have heart disease, high or low blood pressure, a seizure disorder or diabetes, have a pacemaker or another implanted cardiac or electronic device, are recovering from surgery, have Raynaud's syndrome, or take medication affecting blood pressure, thermoregulation or alertness. That list is not exhaustive. Never use a sauna after drinking alcohol, and children should not use one unsupervised.
Is Recovery Room Direct an authorized LeisureCraft dealer?
Yes. We buy directly from the manufacturer in Melancthon, Ontario, your build is placed against your order, and we send you LeisureCraft's warranty terms with your order confirmation. When something needs sorting out, we deal with the factory on your behalf.
Deciding between the Nook and the Loft?
The depth is the same on both, so the real question is how much wall you have and how often two of you are in there together. Give us those two numbers and we will tell you which one to buy , along with the heater it takes and what your electrician needs to know. Browse the full LeisureCraft range, or every indoor sauna we carry.
