It’s no secret: we live in a high-pressure, high-stress society. You may be living with a bit of stress in your life. We sure are. But, what if there was a way to reduce your stress that worked every time. We know a way and want to guide you.
You have more important work to do in the world than deal with your daily stress. You have hopes, dream, and goals to achieve.
Let us introduce you to the most effective and efficient method of reducing our stress-The Nordic Sauna.
Welcome to the sauna capital of North America - Duluth, Minnesota.
This is the most impactful interview I've ever listened to. I learned so much in so little time. I could spend days just listening to Arne, this is fascinating. As a Finn, this is an entirely new side to my own culture. So cool.
55:22 My limiters are looking to be allowed parking spots and Changing Room / Shower turns. I can fit more "therapy seats" in 2 hour sessions than the City will let me park or that I can give adequate changing and showering time to...
@@CedarandStoneSauna We are preparing our "case" for greater usage of public parking. Our challenge is that we are next door to the city owned 1200 seat Performing Arts Center (60 major shows a year) and in ~5 years the City plans to build a 50,000 sf Children's Museum, traveling Exhibit Hall, and Steinway Piano School a block to the other side of our house. One block up the hill from us is our class 6A high school with a college sized football stadium. The City does not want competition for "their" parking spaces. There is a 25 spot parking lot at a small church across the street that I am going to try to strike a deal with, which will likely get me approved for 48 guests at once. But I will have to be closed on Sunday mornings.
We are also surrounded by neighborhoods on the hills above the Historic Main Street district where we are. I want to offer a discount for local neighborhood people who walk or bicycle to our Wellness Garden and try to get the City to not count those individuals against our max approved parking based capacity.
Another possibility is "validated" parking, where someone with a receipt from another downtown business can count beyond our parking allowance. Ultimately, I need to make the argument that Historic downtown cores which need to be walkable and dense (and therefore not covered up with parking lots) should NOT be subjected to the same parking requirements as strip mall developments and try to get the City Council to amend our Central Business District code requirements for parking.
Hey team, I am just starting this video. Awesome that this content is available! My wife and I are starting a sauna business in invercargill, New Zealand. Right at the bottom of the world.
Thanks for tuning in! You may want to check out our Sauna Business Accelerator program after the webinar: cedarandstonesauna.com/sauna-business-accelerator/ Let us know if you're ever stateside -- we'd love to host you at one of our experiences!
What the Water Rat said to the Mole: “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Wind in the willows
Thank you! The floating sauna is on Lake Superior and serves guests daily. Learn more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gTtLKcsVA-s.html 🔥🌊
The first stove pictured is a wood-fired Kuuma stove from Lamppa Manufacturing, the second is an electric Finnleo Himilaya stove. Feel free to reach out to our team with any questions, we'd be happy to help! sales@cedarandstonesauna.com
Question about windows. I have not seen any discussion on whether windows need to be thermal pane or if conventional window glass. Your thoughts. Thanks
We use both depending on the application, tempered glass is always a must in the sauna and be sure all seals are temperature-rated. Never never never use vinyl - unless you want melty sauna windows.
Wearing masks in a sauna.... extra ridiculous. If you wear headphones for an hour, the bacteria in your ears increases 700%. What happens in a mask? Fo some research slaves.
Hey Jeffrey, thanks for the question, we have done extensive testing on the proper adhesives, as well as how they perform during continuous high heat cycles. The thermal mass of the sauna with thick wood walls creates a smooth and even heat throughout the sauna.
Another venue I am going to have to use and enjoy! I honestly don’t really understand why there are not loads more destination venues to do this activity. Good for you, promotes bonding time with loved ones and:or friends, and is such a vibe! Not sure if they have a cold plunge too. Will have to check it out. Watched the floating barge venue in Duluth and got to say for me jumping off that top deck platform into naturally cold water sounds divine!
We agree! Along with our playful snowball exfoliation, there will be a cold exposure element added to The Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis experience soon.☺#StayTuned
Definitely want to come check this floating sauna out! Stay in the local hotel, eat some good food, see the lights, enjoy the sauna, jump off that awesome platform! I think this looks like a marvelous venue for a getaway weekend! Nice work to all who made it happen!
Great question Alexander! We are always trying to use domestic and North American supply chain when possible. It lowers the carbon footprint of anything when you can source locally and not have to ship over oceans. All of our CLT is sourced and produced in the US and Canada.
Buyer Beware, HUUM did not cover factory warranty defects under 1 year. Out $3k for HUUM Drop 9kw. I installed a top-of-the-line 9kw HUUM Drop sauna with WIFI in June of 2023. It worked well with standard use, until one of the heating elements burned out prematurely at 6 months. HUUM agreed to send replacement elements covered under the factory warranty. After installing the new heating elements, the unit worked twice then caught fire and destroyed the heater completely. The replacement heating elements not only burned out but caught fire, as did the entire inside of the sauna heater unit. The sauna heater was destroyed. I sent detailed pictures to HUUM to file a claim. After 1 week they informed me that my claim was denied for 2 unsupported reasons. First, that I had placed stones underneath the element separator. Something that I had not done which was supported in pictures sent. Second, the electricity was not installed properly which was also not correct. The unit was installed by a certified electrician who followed all guidelines provided. HUUM said that their decision was final. Too bad, so sad! I am now out $3k and forced to buy a brand-new sauna heater. Since the company is based out of Estonia, there is little to nothing that I can do other than to post my story for others to know what they could be dealing with if you run into issues with your HUUM sauna.
Question about the CLT. It seems to be devoid of any vapour barrier. Is it suited for use in saunas when they produce such high humidity? Also strange to see the interior lining laid directly onto the structure with no air gap. T&G boards would suffer a bit with all that humidity. Could you offer some explanation as to why these wouldn't be concerns
Great questions Luca, we spend a lot of time studying heat and moisture. In fact, we have done extensive research here with the University of Minnesota wood science department. Take a look a some of our additional videos on using Mass Timber and CLT panels for a bit more info on the topics.
Proper sauna design should always be mold-resistant if constructed correctly. High heat, good ventilation, and ensuring water drains appropriately all create beautiful, fresh, and mold free saunas!
Hey there! This is absolutely doable. We'd love to chat with you about your vision further. Shoot an email to sales@cedarandstonesauna.com and we can set up a time!
