Saunas and Steam

Saunas

Fast becoming the accessory for family homes, saunas are moving away from their traditional routes as outdoor huts and becoming an integral part of modern home design.

As with all our products we have sourced the highest quality equiptment. Tylö, based in Finland (the origin of saunas) leads the way worldwide in creating inspiring environments for saunas, showers and steam bathing, both at home and in public facilities. Tylö is widely acclaimed as the world's leading sauna manufacturer and we can vouch for their quality and design.

• Traditional Sauna

  Scandinavian sauna bathing takes two traditional forms. The classic sauna is best enjoyed at temperatures of 75–90°C in a relative humi-dity of 20–35%. A slightly more extreme variation on this theme is the dry sauna in very high temperatures (95–110°C) and an almost totally dry atmosphere.

• Steam Sauna.

  A gentler form of sauna in 45–65°C, which many people experience as the ideal bathing temperature. A continuous and automatic supply of steam ensures constant humidity of 40–65%. For that touch of ultimate luxury, you can perfume the air with invigorating herbs or fragrant essences.

• Steam Bath

  A steam bath is not to be confused with the steam sauna. To enjoy a modern steam bath you leave the realm of the wooden sauna cabin and relax instead in a specially designed room finished in glass, plastic or tiles. The humidity level is a constant 100%. However, the temperature doesn’t rise above 40–45°C, so you can enjoy the experience for as long as you like and lose yourself in clouds of soothing steam.

Though we provide a varied range of saunas for most applications we can also custom design and build specifically for you needs.

Steam Rooms

Steam saunas are a variation on the traditional sauna concept that we can warmly recommend. The difference is that you enjoy a steam sauna at a lower temperature, but with much higher humidity (up to 70%). In practice, this means a more gentle, more relaxing bathing sensation – a “soft sauna” as it is sometimes described.

Showers

Custom solutions that don't nessacerily cost the earth, from practical corner solutions that give you maximum flexibility when planning and positioning your shower, to full wet room installations providing dramatic cascades to sooth aching muscles. Installation is often part of a larger home spa / wet room design though can easily complement smaller spaces or even poolside.

Wet Rooms

Wet rooms can be used to incorporate many of the above and provide a sanctuary of calm and relaxation. Usaully constructed from custom built water tight shell that can be customised in style, size, or layout to suit your particular needs. Often incorporating many of the features above in one room e.g. An open plan shower room fitted steam generators can provide a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
