SAUNA

By Viola Minerva Virtamo


Step into the serene heart of Nordic wellness with Sauna; an evocative visual and sensory journey through the timeless Finnish sauna tradition. Through the lens of photographer Viola Minerva Virtamo and the words of Liisa Talvitie and Heli Thorén, this exquisite volume invites you to experience the ritual, beauty, and quiet spirituality of sauna culture.

Each page immerses you in the soft glow of the sauna's warmth with the hush of birch leaves, the shimmer of a midnight lake, and the comfort of a hand held after a dip in cool water. Together, the imagery and storytelling form a poetic portrait of Finnish nature and the soulful simplicity of slowing down.

Sauna is more than a book; it's an homage to presence, purity, and peace; a celebration of the spaces where body and spirit meet in gentle heat.

Welcome to the tranquil, elemental world of the Finnish sauna. Let the steam rise, the air soften, and your senses awaken.

FAQs

Certainly! We have a number of heaters that are perfect for smaller sauna rooms like the
Core and Drop heaters from Huum, or the Routa heater from Tulikivi.

Probably the most important thing to consider when choosing a heater where space is a premium is the heater’s safety distance, or how far it needs to be kept from
the wall.

In order to maximise the space you have for people in a smaller sauna you may wish to install a heat deflector on your heater to which halves the safety distance required on that side of the heater.

The size of the heater should be chosen based on the sauna room size and insulation. Choosing the right size is important. If the heater is too small, it will heat the sauna too slowly, it won’t provide enough steam, and it might burn out quicker. It is better to opt for a slightly too powerful heater with a thermostat. You need 1 kW of power to heat 1 m³ of the sauna room as a rule of thumb. The second important thing to consider is how the sauna room is insulated. If there are any uninsulated brick, tile, glass or log walls in the sauna room. An additional 1.5 m³ for each m² of such wall should be added to the sauna room size calculation. You can use our sauna calculator to find out the volume of your sauna room. If in doubt, please contact our friendly team, and we will help you find the perfect heater for your sauna!

With proper care, a good-quality sauna can last you 10–20 years, easy. Heaters and electrical components might need replacing
sooner depending on use, but overall they’re built to go the distance.
