Five Elements Africa

Sauna and cold plunge price calculator for Africa

Start with the country. It switches the currency — dirhams, pounds, rand, rupees, shillings or naira — and, for Kenya's highland sites, applies an altitude factor to the heater. What comes out is an indicative band; freight to your port, access and your supply are priced after a survey.

Indicative only. The real number needs your plot, your access route and your supply.

How the sizing works

What the calculator does behind the band

Heater: the cabin's volume times 0.85 kW per cubic metre, times 1.15 if you picked Kenya — Nairobi sits near 1,795 m, where thin air carries less heat per kilowatt — plus about 0.42 kW for every square metre of glass. The total is rounded up to the next heater size that is actually made: 4.5, 6, 8, 9, 10.5 kW and on upwards.

Chiller: picked from the tub's volume in three steps — 1 HP up to roughly 260 litres, 2 HP up to roughly 570, 4 HP above that. On the Lagos lagoon, the Zanzibar coast or a Seychelles hillside that is the floor; on a shaded highland plot a real quote may step it down or drop it altogether.

Supply: anything over 8 kW shows as three-phase 400 V, below that a single-phase 230 V circuit can do. Where a house in Lagos, Abuja or Johannesburg lives on an inverter and a generator, the heater gets a scheduled circuit and the chiller is held off until the heat-up ends, so the changeover never sees both motors and elements starting at once.

What it leaves out: freight from Istanbul to your port of entry — Tanger Med, Alexandria, Durban, Port Louis, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Port Victoria or Apapa — plus civil works, the cable from your board and any carry or crane. Those are surveyed, then itemised. Press the button and the whole spec reaches us on WhatsApp; a project manager answers within one business day.
