What equipment to buy is one of the most important questions when installing a sauna

Control units. Regardless of the nature and type of sauna, you will be able to control your sauna very conveniently with the control unit. They help determine humidity and temperature. The control units are very useful in that once these parameters are set, they do not change during the entire sauna experience. Thanks to these control units, it is possible to adjust the electric sauna heater, steam heater, infrared sauna, steam generator, sauna lighting, and with some even the heat of the sauna stones. These control units can have different functions, such as delaying the operation of the sauna, setting the operating time of the sauna heater, fan operation, child protection, setting the temperature of the sauna, internet control, lighting control and many others, which depend on the specifics and model of the equipment. Control units usually have a timer, sensor, overheating protection, LCD screen, remote control via mobile phone or computer, language selection and more. All these functions and possibilities help to use the sauna comfortably, giving yourself more rest and peace.

Heater. It is the most important element of sauna equipment. The heater can be fired with wood or heated by electricity. However, wood-burning heaters still remain the most popular, because it is not just heating, but often a whole ritual. True sauna lovers like not only to warm up in the sauna, but also enjoy burning the heater itself. Electric heaters are recommended for those who do not have much time to heat in wood-burning saunas. Electric heaters heat up faster and with less hassle and work. They are convenient to manage, as a control unit is usually used for this purpose, thanks to which it is possible to set the heat of the room, lighting or even music. You just have to enjoy relaxing in the sauna. Some people worry that after purchasing an electric heater, it will not be possible to pour water on it. There's really nothing to worry about this time. Water can be poured, but in small quantities.

Sauna wood. Wooden sauna equipment is one of the best solutions. Wood is a natural and ecological material, so the sauna will be safe to use, and the smell of warm wood will definitely give you pleasant sensations. The most suitable wood for sauna installation is linden, aspen, hardwood, oak, mahogany.

The door. Sauna doors are specific, they differ from traditional doors in height (sauna doors are lower), handle (it is strictly not recommended to use a metal handle, as it gets hot), and opening principle (the sauna door opens outwards). The sauna door should be thick enough. They can be different: wooden, with a window or only glass. They can be made of pine, black alder and aspen. If you want something interesting and unconventional, you can buy not necessarily a single door, but also a double door. Which type of door you choose is a personal matter, because they are all good and high-quality.

Stones. Like the heater, the stones are one of the most important elements of the sauna equipment. A traditional sauna is simply unimaginable without them. Experts do not recommend using stones collected from fields or rivers for sauna heaters. The most suitable solution is to purchase them from a store specially designed for the sauna. Such stones will be safe to use because you will know that no accident will happen and they will not explode. The amount of steam in the sauna, the cooling time of the room depends on the stones. Stones in the sauna perform important functions - they heat the room and "produce" steam. The stones in the sauna heat up to about 300-600 degrees, so pouring water on such hot stones creates a lot of steam. Sauna stones are heated in two ways: directly (when heated directly from the fire flames) or indirectly (when heated from the metal heater walls or heating elements). The most suitable stones for the sauna: jadeite, vulcanite, soapstone, olivine diabase, white quartz and ceramic stones.

Lighting. Lighting significantly contributes to the pleasures and relaxation of the sauna. Nowadays, lighting for the sauna can be chosen from a wide range of possibilities. Today, LED lighting is becoming more and more popular. The advantage of such lighting is that you can choose not only monochrome, but also color, change colors or use several colors at once. However, when purchasing an LED strip, you need to pay attention that it is intended for a sauna. Those who want a somewhat unconventional design, something innovative and modern, can purchase fiber optic lighting. With the help of various lamps and their installation type, you will create a pleasant and original atmosphere in the sauna. Thanks to the lighting, you will create the desired atmosphere and mood in the room. Therefore, it is really useful to pay enough attention to it.

Furniture. A sauna without furniture is simply unimaginable. It is a necessary element of sauna equipment if quality comfort is desired. Furniture is needed both in the sauna itself and in the antechamber, it is ideal if it is also available outside. The most commonly used furniture in the sauna are: beds, chairs, tables and benches. They are made from linden, black alder and cedar. In the sauna, only wooden furniture is best, and preferably natural, without varnishes or paints. There are no such strict requirements for other rooms. They can then be made from other materials, such as plastic.

So, the choice of sauna equipment is really wide, so everyone can buy what they need according to their wishes and capabilities. However, it should be kept in mind that this equipment really increases the pleasure and comfort of using the sauna.
