1. Use a towel

We recommend that you put a towel on the seat or relaxation lounger during use. It is best to cover the floor with a heat -resistant plastic mat or a wipeable cork floor. The towel and floor mat protect the wood from separate sweat, over which bacteria, viruses and mushrooms accumulate with time. After completing the treatment, you immediately remove the towel from the cabin.

2. Ventilation absolutely well through

After the wellness treatment, you leave the door of the infrared sauna open so that the sauna is well ventilated. If there is a window in the room, you should also open it briefly to leave fresh air into it.

3. Regular cleaning

So that you enjoy your sauna in the long term, it must be cleaned at regular intervals. For the seats you use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Then wipe up with a little clear water and rub dry. You can easily clean the floor with a vacuum cleaner. Over time, stains form on the wood. You remove these with standard sandpaper with a grit from 180 to 200.

 Danger: Do not use aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning your sauna. The wood and bleach attack the wood and make it unsightly over time. Also avoid sharp, lace or nasty cleaning utensils.

The difference between the two sauna types is the construction. One System sauna is composed of several functional layers: the core consists of insulation wool, which is also covered with a vapor barrier in some models (not with caribu saunas). The inner and outer walls are covered with profile wood. Change elements and frames are delivered ready for assembly. Advantages: System sauces are easy to build, dismantle and rebuilt. The heating phase is shorter. The waiting time as well.
One Solid wood sauna Consists of solid wood, without insulation or steam lock, and is built up in the groove-and-spring system like a log house with 40 or 38 millimeter thick convertible elements or planks. The Nordic spruce wood used is also a building material and insulation material with a solid wood sauna. Advantages: Better natural heat storage capacity, optimal indoor climate and the moisture and heat are distributed more slowly and even more even because the wood can "breathe".

Apart from the square you have at home, your sauna should be so big that the largest person in the family can stretch out comfortably on a couch. A small plus of approx. 10 centimeters would be ideal.

The oven performance is based on the size of the sauna. Here is a calculation example for a sauna that is two meters wide, three meters long and two meters high: 

2 m x 3 m x 2 m = 12 m³

12 m³: 1.5 = 8 kW.

The Cubic meter value The sauna must Through 1.5 be divided. So you get the guideline for the required kilowatt-Id yours Oven. Keep in mind that a system sauna heats up faster than a sauna made of solid wood due to insulation. If you have more detailed questions, you can therefore contact our customer service.

The Electric sauna oven Has heating sticks inside that are heated electrically. The sauna stones that are layered around the heating rods save the heat and put them in the cabin. A control regulates the temperature. Once the desired temperature has been reached, the oven switches off automatically. As soon as the temperature drops, the oven starts again. The electric sauna oven is only suitable for Finnish sauna operations (80–110 ° C, dry).

The Bio-combi sauna oven is also operated electrically. However, it also has an evaporator tub, with which, in addition to the hot and dry Finnish bathroom, you can also enjoy hot, moist steam baths with essential oils between 60 and 80 ° C. You can set or switch on or switch on the desired temperature and the evaporate unit. Steam baths are considered comparatively gentle on circuit and are also suitable for children.

The traditional, Wood -fired sauna oven has a larger volume than the other two types of oven and is made of stainless steel. To be able to operate it, you need a fireplace connection and the official approval of the district chimney sweep. Therefore, this sauna oven is rather unsuitable for the apartment, but for an outside sauna it is a rustic and cozy alternative with its beautiful flame game and the crackling of the wood.

Depending on the kilowatt number (KW) of the oven, a 230 volt (normal socket) Or a 400-volt connection (Three -phase change current, higher voltage) necessary. Electrical stoves in the kitchen are also with three -phase change current - also Big current called - operated.

Very important: An electrical connection may only be carried out by an electric specialist! Not only for security reasons - if you place the connection yourself, automatically expires the guarantee. The total output (KW) the desired oven has and what power connection it needs can be found in the technical data table on the article detail page.

In our shop you will find u. also Plug-&-Play furniture (up to 3.6 kW)that with normal Socket run. The performance of these devices is not quite as high, but they are more economical and ideal for smaller cabins.

The oven grille is always included in the scope of delivery. It protects you from direct skin contact with the hot oven. In addition, it helps to protect the wood of the benches and walls. For ovens with an output of 4.5 to 9 kW, the minimum distance must be at least 4 cm. 

The sauna stones are sometimes included in the delivery and sometimes not. You can find out more on the article detail page.

Nordic spruce is most frequently used because this wood has a high strength and elasticity. Nordic spruces also contain less resin than their domestic relatives. Inside, Espenholz is also often used for loungers.

The sauna cycle and its 3 phases

In contrast to an infrared cabin, the processes in a sauna are a lot more complex. Here you will find everything important to prepare and carry out your wellness treatment optimally. The sauna session is divided into 3 phases that build up and complement each other. The phase of warming, the phase of cooling and the resting phase. If you leave a step or get too much, the recovery effect is void and you risk circulatory problems. You should plan for 1-3 hours to heat up the cabin.

1. The warm -up phase

At the beginning, you should take a short shower to free the skin of sweat and dirt and prepare the body for the sauna temperatures. You go to the sauna undressed, with a towel and sit or lie down on the benches of different heights as you like. The further up you are, the higher the temperatures.

After a few minutes, the climax for most lovers begins in the sauna: the infusion! Here, a large amount of water is often poured into the stones with a trowel, which drastically increases the air humidity and the perceived temperature. Very often a sauna scent such as eucalyptus or spruce is buried in the water. After about 10 - 15 minutes you should leave the sauna.

2. The cooling phase

After the warmth, the cooling comes - an important step to cool the body down to normal temperature. In order not to overload your body and your cardiovascular system, we first recommend a little walk in the fresh air. Then you can shower yourself with lukewarm to cold water.

3. The resting phase

If your body has cooled down, you first need peace and relaxation. Take a good book and relax on a couch for 20 - 30 minutes. Also remember that you consume enough water. Because your body spoiled a lot. As soon as you are fit and ready to go, the next sauna session begins.
