What Makes Nook Saunas Different? Our Obsession With Safety.
When it comes to your health and wellbeing, safety should never be optional. At Nook, we don’t just meet Australia’s strict electrical and safety requirements; we go far beyond them.
We push our saunas through extreme, real-world, and even unrealistic scenarios to make sure you and your family are always safe.
Going Beyond the Standards
Australian standards are among the toughest in the world, and every Nook sauna complies with them. But compliance alone doesn’t satisfy us. We know people use their saunas in all sorts of ways, so we test for situations you’d never find in a regulation handbook.
We’ve:
- Jumped on floor panels to simulate heavy pressure and misuse.
- Smashed panels with a crowbar, then kept them running under power for over an hour.
- Heated panels with a blowtorch to 300°C, well above normal operating conditions.
- Run saunas continuously for over 24 hours.
- Placed towels directly on heaters to simulate accidental covering for long periods of time.
- Conducted water-resistance testing by applying direct water exposure to the heaters, simulating scenarios such as accidental spillage or excessive perspiration.
These extreme tests weren’t about showing off. They were about peace of mind, for us, and for you. Because when you step into a Nook Sauna, you’re stepping into one of the safest saunas in Australia. Not just certified safe, but tested safe. Beyond the standards. Beyond the “what ifs.”
The Results
In every test, the outcome was the same:
- No fire.
- No excessive smoke.
- No abnormal overheating.
- No risk to surrounding wood or fabrics.
Even when panels were physically damaged or exposed to extreme heat, they refused to ignite or fail dangerously.
Checked. Tested. Perfected.
We’ve installed more than 3,000 saunas across Australia, each one handled by our own trained sauna technicians. Every install is followed by a strict checklist to confirm that every connection, setting, and safety feature is perfect before we leave. That means when you step into your Nook Sauna, you’re not only enjoying world-class relaxation, you’re backed by expert workmanship and the reassurance that everything has been set up for safe, reliable use from day one.
Why This Matters
When you step into a Nook Sauna, you’re stepping into one of the safest saunas in Australia. You can relax knowing that your sauna has not only passed the required certifications but has been stress-tested to withstand conditions well beyond normal use.
Our mission is simple: to give you the best sauna experience, without ever compromising on safety. That’s why we invest the time, effort, and resources to go above and beyond.
That’s the Nook difference.
Important Safety Notice
The tests described were performed under controlled conditions by trained technicians. They were designed to push our saunas far beyond normal use to evaluate safety margins. Do not attempt to replicate these tests at home, as doing so may create unnecessary risk or damage your sauna.
