A joinery in Gisozi that happens to build saunas

What we actually do

We design and build heat and cold rooms: Finnish saunas, infrared cabins, steam rooms, hammams, cold plunge tubs and pools, and the plant that runs them. We do the drawing, the joinery, the installation and the service. We do not subcontract the parts that decide whether a room lasts.

Where we do bring in specialists is tadelakt and the electrical connection — both are trades where experience matters more than supervision, and we would rather pay someone who does it every week.

Why we build here rather than import cabins

A finished imported cabin arrives in the finished-goods duty band, in a container, in whatever size the factory makes. Rwandan plots do not come in factory sizes, and a cabin that has to be cut to fit a terrace has already lost.

Building here means the hot-room timber is the only long-lead item, the steel and stone are local, and the cabin is the size of your room rather than the size of a pallet.

What we will tell you not to buy

An imported cabin cut down to fit. A chiller two sizes small because the listing was cheap. A steam room tiled over an existing floor with no fall. A 9 kW heater on a socket circuit. We have been called to fix all four.
