Saunas
Sauna 3D configurator: buyers build their sauna and see the price
Most saunas are still sold from a few photos and a PDF price list, and then the emails start. Will four people fit? How does it look with a glass back wall? What does the wood-burning heater add? In a 3D configurator the buyer picks shape, length, heater and extras, turns the sauna around and watches the price change. You receive an inquiry with the exact build.
Short answer
What is a sauna 3D configurator?
A sauna 3D configurator is a tool on a maker's website where buyers choose the sauna shape, length, timber, heater and extras while the 3D model and price update instantly. On a phone they can place it in their garden with AR. Trimata builds it from your models and price list, and every inquiry arrives with the full specification.
What buyers ask before ordering a sauna
- How many people fit in a 2.4 m barrel at once?
- Electric or wood-burning heater, and where does it go?
- What does it look like with a glass back wall?
- Do I need a foundation, and how big a base should I prepare?
- Will it fit in our garden next to the deck?
- How much more with a changing room and a canopy over the door?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
Every choice follows your own build rules, so nobody can design a sauna you don't make.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Barrel, square cube sauna, modular sauna with a flat or pitched roof | Buyers only grasp the difference between shapes when they see them side by side. |
| Length and rooms | 2 to 6 m; steam room only, or with a changing room or shower | The model shows where the hot room ends and how much space is left to change. |
| Timber | Spruce, pine, thermowood, cedar; aspen, lime or abachi inside | Colour and grain show up in 3D, while a price list only shows the difference in cost. |
| Heater | Electric heater or wood-burning stove, fed from inside or outside | Buyers see where the heater stands, where the flue goes and how much bench space is left. |
| Glass and doors | Glass door, full glass back wall, small side window | Glass changes the look of a sauna more than anything else, so it is worth seeing rather than imagining. |
| Benches | One or two levels, lengthwise or crosswise loungers | It is clear at once whether a tall person can lie down, so nobody needs to ask by email. |
| Finish and roof | Natural, oiled or painted timber; bitumen shingles or metal | Colour and roof are shown together, so the buyer can judge how it sits next to the house. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
A sauna's price often grows through extras rather than size: a canopy over the entrance, a changing room, a shower, LED strips under the benches, steps and handrails. Buyers pause at every one of these and wonder whether it is worth the money.
Once the extra appears on the model in its real place, the decision gets easier. The buyer sees that the canopy gives a dry spot to cool down in the rain and that the glass wall opens up the view of the garden. The price beside it updates at the same moment, so there is no waiting for your reply.
The configurator only offers combinations that work, such as the larger wood-burning stove on longer saunas only. That means fewer inquiries for builds you can't make and less recalculating for your sales team.
Which 3D format suits saunas
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Strong fit | When you offer several shapes, lengths and heater options and the price depends on the choices. |
| 3D view with AR | Strong fit | Buyers want to see the true size in their garden. It also works when you sell a few fixed models. |
| Renders and video | Good fit | For the catalogue, ads and a new model you haven't built yet. |
| B2B quote builder | Good fit | When guest houses, holiday parks or builders buy saunas and ask for a multi-unit quote as a PDF. |
