Almost Heaven Charleston 4 Person Barrel Sauna with Rinse Ellipse Outdoor Shower Deluxe Package

At Finnish Sauna Builders, we specialize in creating high-quality saunas that are tailored to our clients' needs and preferences. We understand that the sauna experience is a significant part of Finnish culture, and we strive to provide an authentic and traditional sauna experience to our clients.

One of the essential elements of a traditional sauna is the heater and stones. These components work together to create the heat and humidity that make the sauna experience so relaxing and rejuvenating. At Finnish Sauna Builders, we use only the highest quality heaters and stones to ensure that our saunas provide an optimal experience for our clients.

There are two ways to enjoy a traditional sauna: dry or wet. In a dry sauna, there is no added moisture, and the heat comes solely from the heater and stones. In contrast, a wet sauna involves tossing water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity. Both options have their benefits, and we can help you choose which one is best for you.

At Finnish Sauna Builders, we take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to quality. We use only the best materials and construction methods to ensure that our saunas are long-lasting and provide an optimal sauna experience.

Additionally, we offer a range of customization options to make your sauna uniquely yours, from the wood type to the lighting and seating arrangements.

At Finnish Sauna Builders, we understand that shipping and delivery can be a concern for our clients. That is why we want to ensure that you are aware of our shipping and delivery process before making your purchase.

If you are purchasing one of our saunas, such as the Bridgeport sauna, it will ship via LTL (Less Than Truckload) truck. This means that your sauna will be securely packaged onto a single pallet and shipped directly to your curbside. It is important to note that LTL truck drivers are not responsible for unloading the pallet, so you will need to have the necessary equipment and manpower to unload it safely. You can always break apart the skid and hand offload the sauna if needed.

A traditional sauna is a small room or space (barrel or cabin included) designed to produce dry heat, typically using electric heaters or even wood as a heat source. The heat is generated by a stove or heater that warms rocks or stones, which in turn radiate heat to the sauna's interior. Traditional saunas are typically made of wood, and the walls and ceiling are usually insulated to retain the heat. Barrel saunas and outdoor cabins often contain thick "staves" to insulate them properly.

The time it takes to heat up a traditional sauna can vary depending on the size of the sauna, proper ventilation, and the type of heater used. DO NOT FORGET YOUR VENTS, OR THE HEATER WILL SHUT OFF THINKING THE SAUNA IS HOTTER THAN IT IS. Generally, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to heat up a traditional sauna to the desired temperature.

The ideal temperature for a traditional sauna is usually between 165°F and 190°F. However, the temperature can be adjusted based on individual preference and comfort level. It's important to note that saunas can reach temperatures as high as 200°F or more near the ceiling, and it's essential to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed. If you like more steam, set your heater to a lower temp and toss water on the rocks. Remember, not too much that it runs onto the floor under the heater.

The frequency of traditional sauna use can vary depending on individual health and wellness goals. For most people, using a traditional sauna once or twice a week is sufficient. Many studies show 3-4 times per week to be optimal. However, it's essential to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. As always, don't forget to talk with your doctor, they can make personalized recommendations for you.

It's also essential to monitor the humidity level and temperature to ensure a comfortable and safe sauna experience.
