We’re kicking off a new Sauna Builder Spotlight series featuring builders who are doing great work and helping keep sauna craftsmanship strong here in North America.
First up: Storm Juntti of Esjay Saunas in Ishpeming, Michigan.
Storm grew up around sauna, comes from Finnish roots, and started his business after building his first mobile sauna out of his backyard — much of it through a northern winter.
Today, he focuses on the details that make a sauna work as good as it looks: proper bench height, ventilation, quality materials, comfortable lighting, and the right heater.
Storm also shared why American-made products matter to him:
“Knowing that the stove is built in America is very important, knowing that we are supporting our economy as well as supporting local families…”
We’re proud to work with builders like Storm who care about the complete sauna experience and value supporting North American manufacturing.

If you’re a North American sauna builder who works with Kuuma and values supporting North American sauna manufacturing, we’d love to hear from you.
