The most important thing for us is to satisfy our clients, so, continuous communication with our customers in all aspects of sauna equipment is an integral part of our work.
Traditional (Finnish) sauna
Classics never go out of style – the evidence is an increase in need of traditional saunas, which we have seen for several decades while working on this market. Not everyone can explain what traditional sauna is, so we give brief information about how this kind of sauna works and how it is installed.
Sauna heater. First of all, it is important to know that heat source of traditional sauna is an electric heater which heats up stones and the entire sauna air. Various complexity heaters can be used in these saunas: completely simple, combined (with a humidifier), with control panels or accumulative.
Usually, simple electric heaters are used in traditional saunas in which heater produces hot and dry air. Temperature in the sauna room can reach 80-100 ͦC and even higher. In the well heated sauna, air is dry until water is poured on the stones and hot water vapour appears, which eventually dissipates and the air becomes dry again. Temperature in sauna can be up to 100 ͦC and higher, air humidity – 5 – 10%. Various scents can be poured on the hot stones so that steam in the sauna becomes fragrant. It is very pleasant to get refreshed by the cold water after such sauna.
Interior. Wood is the main finishing material of traditional sauna. Though soft wood sometimes have more advantages than hard wood, we always advise to choose linden, aspen or black alder for finishing since coniferous trees that grow in our climatic zone extract a lot of resins under the heat.
However, if you want an interior to be made of soft wood, the best solution is a Finnish Karelian fir or the northern pine which is selected using special technology. For those who want to be unique, we suggest the Canadian red cedar which surpasses most other types of wood by its characteristics and exceptional scent.

Russian steam bath
The Russian steam bath is very popular in Lithuania. It is a very hygienic and modern sauna. It is usually chosen by people who prefer a higher air humidity and a higher sauna temperature. It is made of wood, in a most of the cases electric or wood burning heaters are used which are filled with large amount of stones.
Air temperature in Russian steam bath can reach 50-80°C, air humidity – 40-70%. A higher humidity is achieved by constantly pouring water on the stones
It is important to know that Russian steam bath can be heated in two ways: “white” and “black”.
Heating in “black” way or steam sauna is an old method which is still popular in some regions in north of Russia. There is no chimney in this sauna so smokes are extracted through window. Sauna is ventilated when it reaches its temperature peak. After that, heated walls of the sauna are flushed with water to form a steam. This sauna is distinguished by the aroma and the scent of its smoke, steam, and wood.
Nowadays, heating the sauna in “white” way is more popular. Smokes are extracted through chimney, air remains clean in the sauna, and there is no need to ventilate it. It is a hygienic and modern sauna.

Steam room (Turkish sauna)
For people who do not like dry air, a steam room could be the best option when choosing a sauna. Air humidity reaches 100%. However, before choosing this option, we always recommend to visit this type of sauna first and test it since not everybody can stand such moist air conditions.
Those, who choose a steam room, should know that the heat source is a steam which is produced and supplied by special steam generators. In order to reach 100% humidity in the room, benches are made of special moisture resistant materials. For finishing, mostly mosaic-type tiles are used – they are made of stone, glass or ceramic materials.

Infrared sauna
Finnish, Russian and Turkish saunas have high operating temperature so, are not recommended for sensitive people, elderly and little children. Yet, this does not mean that they cannot enjoy sauna! Those who cannot stand extreme heat can always choose a modern infrared sauna – its effect is mild and the climate is dry.
The functioning of infrared saunas, finished in wood, is based on the wave method. It produces warmth similar to solar heat. This heat, released by infrared panels, does not make the surrounding air hot, but is transmitted directly to the human body. Temperature in sauna is 30-70°C
