WE
ARE NOT SIMPLY A "VIRTUAL COMPANY". Saunafin
is first and foremost a "brick and mortar" company.
We are not an Internet invention or simply an online reseller. We manufacture 80% of the products we sell. We make our own line of sauna heaters. We build our own sauna
doors in a variety of styles. And we bring in truckloads of
Western Red cedar directly from the west coast. Not only do
we manufacture sauna kits and other sauna materials, but we
also have over 40 years experience installing literally thousands of home saunas as well as many
public use saunas.
What does this mean for you? It means we have direct installation experience with virtually
any shape or size of sauna and have had to deal with any number
of obstacles.
If you have a special restriction or concern,
we do not have to call some distant supplier to relay your
concern, pick their brains and get back to you. We
can answer your questions on the spot, based on years of experience
installing literally thousands of saunas.
To be blunt, it means there is nothing you
have that we have not seen before.

TYPES OF SAUNAS
 The benefits of saunas and steambaths are
widely reported. From relieving stress and soothing
tired muscles to health improvements related to "induced
fever" and detoxification. These benefits can
be realized by the use of different types of rooms.
Saunafin offers all three - traditional (hot rock and water), steam (steambath) and infrared. The benefits of taking a sauna
can be achieved with each. Which type of sauna is best suited
for you is a personal decision. Your choice may be influenced
by particular health concerns; a certain exercise regimen,
space restrictions, social aspects or home decor plans.
 For
example: Traditional
saunas provide a more intense environment with
extreme temperatures and blasts of hyper-steam from splashing
the rocks. For many, this is what a true sauna is all about
and it is something they desire and appreciate.
Others find this type of sauna to be too
harsh. They may consider a steambath or one of the amazing Tylo
Combi sauna heaters with built in steamer. The
steambath approach provides lower overall temperatures (110-120°F.
vs. 185-195°F) and higher humidity (70-100% vs. 10-30
%). The higher humidity "softens" the heat.
 Infrared
saunas offer a modern twist to an age-old experience.
Infrared radiation is utilized to heat the body. Because the
rays are absorbed directly into the body, one can work up
a sweat at less intense temperatures than a traditional sauna
(100 - 130°F. vs. 185 - 195°F.)
There are those who view saunas as a communal
experience - something to be done with family or friends.
For these people a larger room is preferable. In this case,
a traditional sauna is likely more suitable as they are readily
available in a great selection of sizes. Similarly, some who
are renovating want to incorporate the sauna in the home so
that outside décor matches. For these people, a built-in
sauna kit or a steam shower may be more desirable.
Whichever type
of sauna you select, we are confident that
after only one or two sessions, you will wonder
how you ever lived without it.
HEALTH BENEFITS
A review of the literature
turns up some very significant health claims:
Relieves Pain:
Heat relieves pain in sore and tired joints and muscles. It does this by expanding blood vessels to promote better circulation. Improved circulation carries additional oxygen to injured areas, reducing pain and accelerating the healing process.
Simulates Fever:
Fever is the body's natural mechanism to fight infection and some viruses. It is an important part of the recovery process. By heating the body, saunas induce an artificial state of fever. Saunas provide the infection-fighting benefits of a fever without suffering the discomfort that comes from actually being ill.
Weight Control:
Saunas promote intense perspiration. The body regulates its temperature through sweating, and helps purge excess moisture, salt and fat.
Reduces Stress:
The heat of a sauna can relax your body and loosen muscles. Stress can affect our overall health so a sauna is an excellent way to relieve stress in a natural way.

Skin Benefits:
The warmth of a sauna can expel dirt and chemicals to assist in purifying your pores and help remove dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Regular use of a sauna can result in softer skin and an improved complexion.
Exercise:
 During a 15-20 minute sauna cycle, there is a 50-75% increase in your heart rate. This simulates the metabolic effects of a brisk walk. There is also a slight benefit to blood pressure as blood vessels expand and increase blood flow.
Detox:
The body purges many toxins via perspiration. Unhealthy elements such as alcohol, heavy metals, and nicotine can build up within the body. Sweating is one of the natural means to purge these impurities, and saunas promote perspiration.
