Built with quality, sustainable materials, our energy-efficient saunas integrate traditional sauna building knowledge with contemporary design to provide you with a greater sense of wellbeing, expansiveness and connection to nature.
Hi, is the glass used for this type of sauna special? I noticed the rocks are really close to the glass. Is it possible that the glass could crack due to temperature changes?
Hi, thanks for your question. It's tempered glass, and we adhere to the manufacturers specified safety distances when positioning the stove close to glazing features, so cracking due to temperature changes isn't an issue.
Hi, we use thermally modified ash and poplar in our saunas - you can find out more about the trees we use on our website, here - www.heartwoodsaunas.com/trees-we-use
Hi, thanks! The front wall on this sauna is single glazed as it makes having frameless door hinges in the front possible. It does heat up to 100°C+ though, and gets up to sauna bathing temperature (70°C) in an hour.
Not only do these look absolutely stunning, the work that goes into these, and even the video. Sat here feeling like I just watched a short film! Bravo all involved.
Good question - as with all wood fires, there's usually smoke at the start when the fire is getting going, but once it's really hot, not very much. How much smoke varies a lot depending on the type of wood used too. You can find out more information about smoke and emissions by getting in touch with HUUM directly.
Hi, great question - the gap under the door is actually an essential to the sauna's efficiency and health - the sauna is heated by convection - fresh cold air is drawn in from the gap, which is heated by the stove, rises, then falls and exits through an outlet at the opposite end of the space. If you'd like more information on our saunas, you can get in touch with us at info@heartwoodsaunas.com.
Hi - thanks for your question! In short, no. The sauna has very efficient insulation, meaning the roof temperature isn't affected in a way that impacts the plants. You can find out more about sauna insulation in this article - www.heartwoodsaunas.com/comparing-hand-built-kit-and-barrel-saunas
There aren't any words in the English language that have a single "correct" pronounciation. What you're probably referring to is the way in which someone with a Finnish accent might choose to pronounce the word if they were speaking English as a foreign language.
Just got back from my 3rd Sauna Tour in Finland, visited all the top public Saunas & swam in the Baltic Sea 🌊 (-1 degrees). It was an amazing experience & I would thoroughly recommend going over to the mother land of sauna if you are into this way of life !.
Looks good, but I'm not sure of the glass wall. Even if it's your own property, it feels like someone could walk by and see you sitting in the sauna, with a full view. Of course this is just my personal opinion. Glass doors are very commonplace for saunas these days, but typically there's a bathroom, or shower room, however you'd call it, behind the glass door. The glass wall could be an interesting concept for a public sauna with a high turnover rate. Like at a public pool/spa. As long as everybody's wearing swimsuits, of course.
