Sauna Systems

How to choose: Sauna Systems

A sauna is a climate room where the timber and the heater must match. A Finnish sauna runs hot and dry; an infrared cabin runs cooler and heats by direct radiation. The timber species sets the scent, the touch temperature and the lifespan; heater power sets the heat-up time and comfort.

Volume to power ratio

Heater output is sized to room volume; an undersized heater never reaches temperature.

Timber species

Cedar, spruce and thermowood differ in scent, colour and moisture resistance.

Insulation and vapour barrier

Without a correct barrier moisture reaches the wall and the structure degrades.

Ventilation

The balance of fresh-air inlet and exhaust governs both comfort and safety.
