How Finnish Saunas Work
In the realm of saunas, the Finnish approach is renowned for its unique blend of temperature and humidity control. Sauna Dekor's saunas operate at temperatures ranging between 70°C to 95°C, maintaining humidity levels at 5% to 15% on the second bench and 3% to 10% on the third bench.
Craftsmanship and Heat Source:
Experience the craftsmanship as Sauna Dekor's saunas utilize a carefully crafted heat source that radiates warmth through wood-clad walls. Whether powered by electric or gas sauna burners or the timeless allure of log fires in traditional systems, our saunas ensure a sublime experience.
Materials and Construction
Crafted for Comfort:
In the classic Finnish sauna design, Sauna Dekor prioritizes soft, sustainable, resin-free wood—options include pine, hemlock, spruce, and cedar. The selection focuses on fewer knots for even heat radiation.
Sturdy Seating:
Benches, made from hard, low-thermal-conductivity wood like aspen, obeche, or poplar, guarantee a comfortable and safe seating experience. Our sustainably designed benches can support a minimum of 200 kg/440 lbs per linear meter.
Design Elements:
Meticulous design considerations extend from the ceiling to the door. The ceiling, when seated on the highest bench, maintains a height no higher than 226 mm over the bather's head. The door, crafted from wood or tempered safety glass, adheres to modern design trends while ensuring safety and functionality.
Health Advantages of Finnish Saunas
Harnessing Heat and Cold:
The Finnish sauna tradition extends beyond relaxation, playing a pivotal role in promoting circulation, relieving muscle tension, and boosting the immune system. Sauna sessions, when paired with cold treatments like cold showers or ice fountains, contribute to overall well-being.
Contrast Therapy Benefits:
The alternation between hot and cold temperatures, known as contrast therapy, aids in blood circulation, detoxification, and immune system training. Regular sauna usage has been associated with a reduced likelihood of mild illnesses or colds.
Sauna Stove Heat Source
Powering the Sauna Experience:
Sauna Dekor's saunas utilize specially supplied stones, often deep igneous rocks, capable of absorbing and producing substantial heat. These stones, heated in sauna stoves powered by electricity, gas, or traditional wood fires, ensure a consistent and comfortable sauna experience.
Size and Space Considerations:
When developing saunas for commercial use, personal space is a priority, with a minimum allocation of 600 millimeters for each seated person. Additionally, the sauna must be spacious enough to accommodate individuals lying down for a truly immersive experience.
Usage and Design Considerations
Immersive Experience:
Enhance your sauna experience with audio and visual elements. Consider using lighting and sounds to create a relaxing ambiance, promoting a sense of tranquility and comfort.
Ventilation and Illumination:
Proper ventilation is essential for a constant flow of oxygen within the sauna. Sauna Dekor prioritizes ventilation systems that maintain a steady supply of fresh air, ensuring optimal oxygen levels for a comfortable and safe experience. Illumination options, carefully chosen for their resistance to high temperatures, include sconces, crystal glass diffusers, and fiber optic lighting installed by expert Finnish sauna builders.
How to Use a Sauna: Tips and Guidelines
Sauna Session Etiquette:
A typical sauna session lasts approximately 90 minutes. Before entering, eliminate all clothes, jewelry, and contact lenses. Shower and dry thoroughly to remove any skin film that may delay sweating.
Optimal Sauna Session:
Lie down to ensure your entire body is in the same temperature zone, or if sitting, keep your feet up on the same bench. The first session should last 8 to 12 minutes, followed by a cooling-off period of 12 to 20 minutes.
Post-Sauna Cooling:
Cool off in the air first, then rinse off sweat with cold water. Thoroughly relax and chill down after your final sauna session.
