Pertti is passionate about the health benefits of the Finnish sauna and its importance as our bodies need to counter the toxic substances we ingest daily.

As the "Sauna-Guru", Pertti (Bert) is on a personal quest to counteract the bad data on the internet by using his vast sauna knowledge to tell the truth about saunas in general and especially the Finnish sauna. He has been a prolific writer of sauna articles and sauna stories. Bert plans to write hundreds more for the internet in the next few years.

Our History of Growth and Success - since 1974 ...

Pertti started his sauna business in 1974 as Savu Sauna Products Ltd. Four years later, he added a division for the sale of quality cedar lumber and various grades of tongue-and-groove cedar for reno projects. His division, called "House of Cedar", grew into a huge success in southern Ontario, Canada as "House of Cedar" became a volume supplier of cedar lumber and cedar products in 5 grades of quality.

Two years later in 1980, a Spa and Hot Tub Division was added as many of our sauna customers were adding spas and hot tubs to their homes. By 1986, the company had moved into a spacious 40,000 square foot facility in Waterloo, Ontario. Now there was adequate space for woodworking shops and warehousing as well as a 6,000 square foot retail store. A fully operational self-contained area was available for customers to "test drive" a hot tub and sauna with their entire family inside a private facility on-site.

By 1995, Pertti had designed many models of hot tub gazebos (made of cedar) that required a separate manufacturing space. A pilot plant was setup to test the manufacturing process. The following year, the pilot plant was moved to an 80,000 square foot facility in Perth, Ontario. Called "Cedar 1 Inc", the new company grew as a parts maker for "House of Cedar", a parts maker for Savu Sauna Products and as a gazebo maker. Over 48 employees made quality products every day.

In 2002, Pertti started shipping containers of infrared saunas to Europe as the European market wanted saunas made of quality Canadian cedar. The traditional sauna kits that he had designed were selling very well courtesy of the internet.

By 2004, Pertti was spending too much of his time on everything but saunas. He wanted to focus solely on the love of his life - the saunas. He couldn't stay away from his passion, so he re-focused on the marketing of saunas through his company, Home Saunas Since 1974.

With 65,000 customers in the company's history, Pertti remains passionate about saunas and shares that with his customers. So today, your decision is whether you buy a sauna from Pertti and his associates and make use of their expertise - or from some other company lacking comparable sauna credentials.

Thanks for visiting us.

Pertti,
Sauna-Guru
