All about sauna cabins

The arrangement of a full Scandinavian sauna is a dream of a large number of people. But not everyone can realize it because of limited finances, available space and other reasons. However, there is a way out - you just need to find out everything about sauna cabins.

In domestic practice, it is common to think that you can do with an ordinary bath and shower. However, Finland does things differently, and it is perfectly justified. A home sauna cabin does not just allow for "hygienic procedures," as simplistically thought of. It promotes deep relaxation physically and emotionally. Connoisseurs and connoisseurs note that the result is comparable to a professional massage.

Statistically confirmed that the visitors of saunas fall ill less, and if they get sick during the "cold season", they recover easier, quicker and with fewer complications. Such procedures also help to maintain overall fitness. It is possible to put a small sauna at home in a short time, and it is more profitable than building a country or suburban sweat lodge.

However, a cabin with the function of the Finnish sauna sometimes has a power of 6 kW per phase. In this case, you will need to obtain an official permit to install the equipment and connect it. Old wiring created before 1990 definitely cannot be used. Can be forced to update and more "fresh" (if its cross-section is not enough). In any case:

• You will have to connect an apartment or home sauna through a separate circuit breaker;
• You will still need at least a minimum area, and sometimes it is quite large;
• The new layout of the rooms in the remodeled home will have to be coordinated;
• Do not do without the installation of fire detectors (both by order, and for their own safety).

Sauna cabins for apartments or homes should, first of all, fit the size of the room. Equally important is compatibility in design. However, it is important to distinguish between two main types of systems. In one case, we are talking about products "with a sauna effect". From a simple shower they differ from the presence of a steam generator, which provides an optimal microclimate. Heating water can provide steam not hotter than 60 degrees. But you get a compact cabin with a single compartment. Combined cabin with miniature sauna is characterized by a large volume. The entire room is divided into a couple of sections. Zoning of the space is possible with the use of walls or doors, the steam heating varies from 60 to 120 degrees.

According to the way they function there are:

• classic Finnish saunas (issuing dry steam, but requiring the use of stones);
• Turkish baths (suitable for people with poor health);
• Infrared designs that perfectly warm the body, increase the secretion of sweat and do not interfere with breathing.

The finishing of the sauna cabin can be done with different wood materials. The choice between them depends on cost, hygienic properties and personal taste. Outside panels can be made of matt, transparent or structured glass. The geometry of the cabins with sauna function is the same as that of conventional solutions. It is worth noting that such devices can have closed, open, mixed design.

When the cabin is closed, it is lined with wood. In the open version, a clear glass finish is used. Dimensions of the combined boxes vary from 0.8x0.8 to 1.85x1.6 m. A typical model has an area of no more than 1.5 m2.
