Sauna and hot tub – best friends forever!
In Finland, saunas and tubs are best friends forever: where there’s a tub, there’s a sauna.
It feels great to step outside to the yard from the heat of the sauna to cool off and plunge
into the even temperature of the hot tub to relax. The hot tub itself is a pleasure,
crowned by bathing in the sauna. Inside the sauna, you can enjoy the quiet only broken by
the hissing of the sauna heater, while in the hot tub you can listen to the sounds of the
surrounding nature.
SAUNA CARE AND SAFETY
Replacing the sauna heater stones
Maintenance is a part of the normal use of the sauna heater. The stones should be replaced
regularly to ensure that the sauna heater operates well and flawlessly. The stones
disintegrate slowly under the thermal stress. The stones do not need to be replaced every
year, but they should be restacked. In the sauna, we have used traditional
Narvi® sauna
heater stones.
The characteristics of wood and surface treatment
Wood is a natural material, and you should know the following about its characteristics. Normally,
wooden materials gain a grey tint in roughly one year, depending on the amount of sunlight (care
instructions below). Sometimes resin may be exuded from knots, but it can be removed from the
knots with a steel trowel and the area treated with knotting solution. Splinters may also come off
from the wood; they should be removed immediately using a sterile needle (use e.g. wound cleaner
to disinfect it).
Outer surface of the sauna
The outer surface of the sauna, made with plain sawn softwood and spruce plywood, has a
beautiful grey tint. Later treatments should be carried out using a suitable shade of grey, because
the lighter wood needs more colour. If you want to maintain this shade of grey, the outside of the
sauna must be stained every few years, depending on how the sauna is used. At the factory, the
sauna is treated with industrial water-based wood oil. If you want to use the original industrial
wood oil to treat the sauna again, you can order the wood oil via your retailer. Alternatively, the
outer surface can be treated with Pinotex classic 21 (colour code 6103-Y67R ‘Järkäle’ (boulder)
(EU)) ‘harmaaleppä’ grey alder wood oil.
