Understand hybrid
Two heating experiences. One Element.
Full-surround infrared
Ultra Low-EMF panels fully surround the seating area, including at the front glass. This delivers 360-degree radiant warmth at gentler cabin temperatures.
Traditional stone heat
The Harvia Cilindro delivers a hotter, classic sauna experience, with bursts of humidity when water is poured over the heated stones.
Use one heating system at a time.

The details you live with
Cedar, glass and a softer glow.
FSC-certified Western Red Cedar and a tinted 8 mm tempered-glass front create a warm, open interior. Curved backrests support a relaxed seated position, while adjustable ambient lighting lets you set the mood for your session. Passive ventilation provides airflow through the cabin.
Structural bonding uses water-based PVA adhesive; ask for model-specific material and finish documents if you have sensitivities.

Planning your Element
Confirm the site and installation scope before you order. We can help you work through each step.
01Space & baseLevel, stable and load-bearing.
Choose a solid, level base suitable for the cabin and its occupants, with drainage that keeps water away from the timber. Ask NUVIE to confirm the support requirements and allowable level tolerance for your site.
Cabin dimensions alone are not a slab plan. Obtain the current drawing for roof overhangs, door swing, ventilation, assembly space and any porch configuration before construction.
02ElectricalDedicated supply; licensed electrician.
The published specification lists 230 V, a 6.8 kW traditional heater and 3.0 kW infrared heating. Use one heating mode at a time. The model requires a dedicated hardwired supply.
Give your electrician the current electrical schedule to confirm cable route, circuit protection, isolator and final connection. Electrical work is separately quoted; cost depends on switchboard capacity, cable distance and site access.
03AccessPlan the route from delivery to base.
Share your postcode, gate widths, stairs, slopes and photos of the access route. Confirm crate and component sizes, unloading, placement and whether the assembly team delivers on the same day.
Agree freight, special handling and packaging removal in writing. Delivery does not automatically include moving the sauna to its final position.
04AssemblyBase Metro assembly $995; finishing is separate.
Professional assembly is $995 within confirmed Base Metro service areas. Outside these areas, ask NUVIE for a regional travel quote. Delivery, electrical work and finishing are separate.
Confirm painting scope, materials, exterior coats and glass sealing before use. For self-assembly, the published guide suggests two capable people and approximately 4–6 hours.

Your final questions, answered.
Are adhesives used in the sauna?
Yes. Water-based PVA adhesive is used in structural timber bonding. Timber, adhesive, interior surfaces and exterior finishes should be considered separately when reviewing materials.
Ask for the material specifications and applicable adhesive-test documentation for your chosen model. A test of one material or component does not establish the emissions of a complete operating sauna.
Do larger Element models share these specifications?
No. Different sizes can have different dimensions, bench layouts and infrared power requirements. Photos of a smaller cabin are not a specification for a larger one.
If you are considering a larger Element, request its current drawing, seating layout, electrical brief and itemised quote before arranging site work.
How do payment, delivery and installation work?
Choose full payment or a 50% sauna deposit. The balance is settled when we ship; selected paid services are charged in full. Confirm the current lead time and delivery arrangements for your postcode before ordering.
Base Metro assembly is $995 within confirmed service areas. Delivery, electrical connection and finishing are separate. See optional additions and assembly, plan your installation or read the shipping policy.
A free setup consultation and handover are included to help you get familiar with your Element and its operation.
What does the warranty cover?
For residential outdoor use: cabin structure 5 years; infrared heaters 3 years; traditional heater and electrical components 2 years; stereo and labour 1 year. Conditions and maintenance requirements apply. Commercial coverage differs.
Can I visit the showroom?
Visit NUVIE at 203 Rooks Road, Vermont, Victoria, by appointment. Book a showroom visit.
How should I care for an outdoor sauna?
Care depends on the model, exterior finish and exposure to sun, rain or coastal conditions. Ask for the instructions that match your finish before sanding, recoating or applying a treatment.
Do not assume an indoor sauna becomes suitable for outdoor use by adding a cover. Confirm the intended location and applicable warranty conditions for your model.
Still deciding?
Our sauna specialists can help with model selection, site planning and installation. Your Element also includes a free setup consultation and handover to help you get started.
