Saunas and steam have a high percieved value. People often over-estimate the cost of saunas. When selling a home, a sauna is an excellent selling feature.
Wet Sauna, Dry Sauna, Steam Sauna, Rock Sauna. Individuals have always been confused by the different terms used for saunas: wet sauna, steam sauna, rock sauna and dry sauna. Traditional Sauna is what we prefer to use. In a nutshell, a traditional sauna is a basically a dry environment, with momentary bursts of humidity when water is splashed on the rocks. Ambient sauna humidity is around 10%, far below the 30-40% that is found in most...
Prefab vs. Material Kit PREFAB SAUNAS (Also known as Pre Built Saunas) These saunas are pre-frabricated, hence the name. They can be assembled in 4-6 hours. With Pre-Fab saunas there is no additional framing or insulation. The walls are self-supporting. Everything is designed for quick assembly without specialized tools. SAUNA KITS (Also commonly referred to as Sauna Material Packages, Sauna Liner Kits, Do-It-Yourself Sauna Kits) A Sauna Kit refers to...
The benefits of steam baths and saunas are well documented. From stress relief, rexation, and soothing muscles to all types of health benefits related to detoxification, induced fever, and profuse sweating. The benefits can be achieved with each. Which type is best suited for you is a personal decision. Your choice might be impacted by your preference, space restictions, home decor plans, health concerns, social aspects, or a specific exercise regime.
Primarily, we sell traditional sauna products: Material kits, Pre-fabs and Sauna Craft & Tylo heaters. We also carry the Steamist Steam Generators. We offer a narrow range infrared saunas. We do not carry the common, portable, plug-in type infrared. We only offer infrared sauna kits for those who require a custom field installed kit.
Traditional saunas are an increased heat, decreased humid environment. The temperature can fluctuate from 80 to 90 degrees Celsius (185-195 degrees Fahrenheit). Splashing water on top of the rocks causes an explosion of hypersteam and intensifies the feeling of heat. Infrared rays warm up the body first and heat up the air afterwards. For individuals who love the heat bath feeling, there is nothing in the world quite like it. NOTE: There is an exception for...
Yes, but not the way you think. This an area of common confusion for saunas. People associate the need for ventilation with a bathroom and shower (or steam shower). You ventilate a bathroom to remove excess moisture. Saunas are by nature a dry environment-you are essentially baking the air. Typical sauna humidity is around 10%' with momentary spikes when water is splashed on the rocks. Your average household humidity is around 40%. The sauna is in fact...
Should you insulate? The short answer is yes. But it is often not as a critcal as people think. You insulate a home because the heat is on six months out of the year. A sauna is on for one to 1-1/2 hours. So, the insulation has a more limited value. When building sauna, the stud cavity should be filled with R-12 (or R-13) Fiberglass Batt insulation. The insulation will be covered with the foil barrier that comes with our sauna material kits. As rule of thumb, we...
Indoor: on average 20-30 minutes Outdoor: depends on region and season. Cold climate, cold day - could be 40-60 minutes.
Commercial saunas should have a drain in the center of the floor (sloped to the drain) to facilitate cleaning. Most residential saunas do not have drains. Water should only be used in moderation. (If you are doing a complete renovation or new build and are putting in a new bathroom, shower, etc, the addition of a floor drain may be considered but not necessary.)
Splashing water in moderation over the sauna rocks is part of the sauna experience. Water can be brought in and added using a sauna bucket and dipper. A water tap inside the sauna is convenient. Keep in mind, there are restrictions on how close water can be to power (heater). Generally, distance is 3’-4.5’ (local regulations may vary) If a sauna has a water tap, it should have a drain and a waterproof floor.
Electric sauna heaters are much more popular and often more practical. They are more compact , require less clearance and offer many design options. Electric heaters are inexpensive to operate. The average sauna is used once or twice a week for one hour or so.The electrical cost will be about $2.00-$3.00 per week. All our electric heaters are approved by either ETL or CSA. Wood burning sauna heaters can only be used in outdoor saunas. They are larger and...
In USA and Canada 240 volt is standard residential voltage in homes. Residential saunas are 240volt, single phase. Breaker size depends on heater size. Most saunas require a 30 or 40 amp breaker (but may be larger). Breaker should NOT be GFI type. Commercial (public) saunas are often 208 volt, 3 phase or other (If you are putting a sauna in a condo, check to verify voltage. It may be 208v in a high rise type dwelling; i.e. New York City is mostly 208v)
Yes, you will need a certified electrician to wire your new sauna.
Yes, Si, Da, Ya. Just to be clear: yes,yes,yes, absolutely yes! Hot air rises and temperature stratification in a sauna is significant (10-15 degrees per foot). if sitting on a single tier bench, you will not feel any heat. That is why virtually all saunas have two levels of benches. The bottom bench is really a step up and a foot rest. It is for this reason that Saunafin also favors top tier L bench returns.
Most Saunas are 7' height or lower. Minimum height is generally 75" to 78" depending on heater model. Our standard kit height is 821/2". Maximum sauna height should never be higher than 8'. If you really want higher, we strongly urge being as close to 7' as you are willing to go; i.e. 7'-4" or 7'-6". To be effective, you must sit where the air is hottest-that is up high. Comfortable seating height is 18". So...
For the most part, the only real difference is location. Outdoor saunas may be built in your own outdoor structure like a cabana, garden shed or bunky. If that is the plan, you can install one of our material kits inside your structure. The sauna kit is basically the inside "skin" of the sauna. There are also many styles of pre-fab outdoor saunas; including cabin style, barrels, pods and others.
Saunas work when rocks are heated in a sauna heater. This is what keeps the sauna temperature continuously high.
It’s not mandatory to pour water on the rocks in the sauna. However, many people do pour water on the rocks in their sauna because this increases the steam and humidity inside the sauna. For your convenience, we do offer buckets and ladles.
Saunas are generally a hot/cold cycle. Sit inside for 5-10 minutes, then cool off with a cold shower, a dip in the pool or just resting outside for a bit. Then you can re-enter the sauna. It is not an endurance test. It is best to be guide by how you feel. As you gain more sauna experience, you may build endurance and be able to stay longer. When using the our Tylo Combi "steaming" heater, you can often stay longer as the heat is less intense.
Each of our saunas come with a detailed manual to follow (they can be found here: Resources.) Follow our easy instructions and enjoy your sauna session!
There may be a question of what is meant by this. Temperatures in North America are limited to 900C (1940F). In Europe, temperatures can be as high as 1100C. Some prefer temperatures hotter than is allowable. Also the 900 is measured at the ceiling above the sauna heater (the hottest spot). The temperature across the sauna at the seating area can be 10-150C lower. In home saunas, we find complaints of low temperature often result from misplaced or...
High limit tripping is a fairly common complaint in North America where permissible sauna temperatures are lower than everywhere else in the world. Temperatures in North America are limited to 900C (1940F). In Europe, temperatures can be as high as 1100C. Some prefer temperatures hotter than is allowable. High limit tripping is very common in public saunas - especially in Men's saunas. Men tend to prefer hotter saunas, and sometimes "mess" with the...
