Clear Hemlock

Pick the Package you like and customize to your preferences

With cedar, we like to say we can guarantee you ten shades of brown. Most love the look of cedar. But some prefer a lighter shade and more consistent coloring.
Hemlock looks very similar to lightly colored cedar but the coloring is more uniform. Basically, a very consistent light shade of brown.

Clear Hemlock Sauna Kits

For those who do not like cedar, Hemlock is an excellent option. Hemlock is one of the "harder" softwoods. It has been used effectively for decades in residential saunas.
(We do not recommend Hemlock for commercial public saunas where there is more abuse and excessive water use)

Hemlock kits come standard with "Floating" style Benches. The SPF bench substructure is not included. The 1x4 hemlock bench top material conceals the bench structure.

All our Clear Hemlock sauna kits come complete. And you have the option to upgrade and customize to suit your layout and preferences. You can add L-benches, change door style, add floor board, backrests, skirts (where applicable), upgrade heater and choose from a large selection of sauna accessories.

Note: We do not have “Hemlock” Doors. Our frameless glass doors have a cedar veneer jamb. Our framed wood doors are constructed of cedar. You may choose to delete door and provide your own.

The heart of every sauna is the sauna heater.

Tylö Swedish sauna heaters are widely renowned and greatly respected for their high quality and distinct features. See below to learn more about the Tylö design features and benefits.

Safe to touch.

"Thermosafe" velvety covering ensures a low surface temperature - just 40°C on the front and sides of the heater.

Quickest heat-up time.

Twin side chambers maximize the through-flow of air, minimize heat-up time and economize on running costs.
No other sauna heater uses less energy.

The lowest energy consumption.

Test after test confirms that Tylö is the most energy-efficient sauna heater.

The most even bathing temperature

tylo sense combi plus sauna heater model

A divided output is the secret behind the constant bathing temperature and lower energy consumption of a Tylö heater. Divided output means the heaters elements cycle in stages. Other heaters go on/off, on/off, etc. causing a temperature swing. Tylo heaters maintain an overall higher and more consistent temperature.

The finest material quality.

Only Tylö has a solid-cast top, inner casing and stainless steel stone compartment.

The best heating elements.

Tylö is the only sauna manufacturer to produce its own heating elements - the very heart of every heater. High quality here is crucial for a long service life, and Tylö elements are widely regarded as unsurpassed.

Optimum water sprinkling.

A deep generously proportioned stone compartment, and direct contact between the stones and the heating elements ensure perfect water sprinkling with 100% vaporization.

The right quantity of stones.

Tylö makes sure that the quantity of stones is perfectly matched to the output. Too many stones prolong heating-up times, leading to higher energy consumption and poorer steam generating performance. Tylö heaters are also the only ones on the market that can be used with or without stones.

Built-in humidifier.

This unique Tylö feature further enhances your sauna bathing experiences.

Superior performance.

With a Tylö heater, you can enjoy a pleasant sauna, wet or dry, at whatever temperature you choose from 40-90°C (104-194°F).

Best in the test.

Time and time again Tylö has scored top marks in Finnish sauna tests. Tylö was first awarded the coveted 'Best in Test' accolade in competition with seven Finnish heaters in 1982. A test published in a Finnish magazine (Kuluttaja no. 5, 1995) confirmed that Tylö also has the quickest heating-up time and lowest energy consumption. A SEMKO test in April 1999 confirmed this result and also proved that the steam generating performance of Tylö heaters was unrivaled.

Combi (Soft Sauna)

Click for more info:  Tylo Combi Steaming Sauna Heater Brochure

The Tylo Sense Combi is quite simply the most sophisticated sauna heater on the market - the only heater that lets you enjoy traditional or Soft Sauna in one and the same room. The choice is yours. We call it Soft Sauna.

A gentle way to share a pleasurable experience. It is just as much a way of life as it is a technical sensation, and yet it takes up just a few square meters of space in your home. Invite your friends and family, select a therapeutic essential oil, feel the warmth and gentle. Steam engulf you, and enjoy being together. Let Soft Sauna make an impression on your day.

 

What's Your Temperature?

Soft Sauna picks up where traditional saunas leave off. Some people prefer a hot and quick sauna, others like to linger in mild temperatures, enjoying the gentle steam and aromatic fragrances. Test for yourself which temperatures and options are ideal for you and your relaxing moment.

Imagine having a family home spa with the resources of a professional spa where you can relax together, exquisitely engulfed in steam and aromatic scents – and yet also be able to enjoy the relaxing dry heat of a traditional sauna. Choose the sauna cubicle and heater that suits you and the way you want your moment to be. A moment that stretches on and beyond.

Double Your Enjoyment

The Combi is like having two saunas in one. In dry mode, it operates like a typical sauna - high heat, low humidity. In "soft sauna" or steam-sauna mode, it is an entirely different sensation. When you splash water on the rocks, you to get that blast of heat. Many of those who enjoy saunas love that sensation. Others find it a bit too intense. When you slow boil  the water, you soften the heat. It takes the edge off. The Combi broadens the appeal of saunas. Those who have historically not like saunas really enjoy it. And old fashioned sauna enthusiast love it even more. You can still splash water on the rocks in steam mode to get that wave of extra heat. The Sense Combi is a true hybrid. Two distinct sauna experiences in one and the same room.

 

Can I Have Steam In a Cedar Room?

The Combi produces steam and the sauna is more humid that a typical sauna, but it does not generate steambath levels of steam. It is not a Turkish bath. You will see steam rising off the heater and you will feel the difference, but the walls do not get wet. And once the Combi has completed its steam cycle, the sauna portion comes on high for 20 minutes to help bake the room dry.

LK Plus

Clear Cedar

Plus or Premium or Floating

LK Plus (“the original”) was the first style of sauna kit we began with over 50 years ago. Still the big seller, but the increasingly popular Premium and Floating bench kits are catching up.

2x4 cedar for bench tops and bench framing.

Standard heater is the Sauna Craft CWM series with TPT3 mechanical control. Upgraded Sauna Craft and Tylo are available as optional upgrades.

Optional & Upgraded doors, skirting, backrests, floor boards & accessories.

We provide 1x4 s4s cedar for bench tops. There are no legs or floor supports. The bottom bench extends fully under top bench. Floating bench is an increasingly popular style with those looking for more modern, open appearance. It is especially popular with those selecting a full frameless glass front wall

  • All tongue & groove (t&g) lining material is 11/16” thickness
  • Full lengths (up to 8’) for t&g cedar for walls & ceiling. (May be limited to one wall of 8’ full length per sauna.)

 

Knotty Cedar

Knotty Lining with Clear Benches

The Knotty Kit is a cost package using the ever-popular Western Red Cedar.
The cost saving is achieved in a couple of different ways.

One way is the wall/ceiling lining itself.
Knotty cedar has all the great qualities of clear cedar, but is significantly less expensive. Some also prefer the “rustic” look of knotty cedar. It is especially popular for outdoor and cottage saunas.

Another cost savings is the benches. The bench tops are 1x4 s4s cedar (as opposed to the 2x4 used in the LK Plus & Premium packages). To compensate for the thinner bench tops, we provide additional floor supports (legs)-no more than 30” on center.
The 2x4 bench tops are an option for either Econo Kit.

Lastly, the Knotty kit includes the Saaku heater with built in controls. Manufactured for Saunafin by Helo saunas of Finland. It is a quality heater with generous rock capacity. The Saaku is a lower priced heater model.
Sauna Craft & Tylo are both available as optional upgrades

 

Hemlock

Hemlock
