Sauna stones for wood-burning, electric heaters

Everyone, not just a sauna lover, knows that stones in a sauna are one of the most important elements without which it is hard to imagine a real, traditional sauna. Although there are many different stones in nature, not all of them are suitable for saunas. However, you can choose the stones according to your needs. For example, in ancient times, our ancestors collected stones in nature. If you would like to do the same, know that it is not recommended to put them in electric heaters. The best to put in the wood-burning heater are stones from a fast river, which have been lying for a long time. However, the best and safest solution is to rely on professionals. We do not recommend the use of stones collected from fields and rivers, as they can explode from heat and stress. Therefore, it is better to buy stones specially designed for saunas. This way you will also save time, because you will not have to collect them yourself, and you will be guaranteed that you have a safe sauna.

The properties of the steam in the sauna depend on the type of stone, the service life of the stones, and the amount of steam depends on their quantity. In any case, more stones are better than less. If there are only a few of them, after pouring water, you can even cool down the sauna room significantly, and then you will need to re-ignite and heat the sauna. When choosing stones for an electric heater, you should choose a smaller size - approximately 5-7 cm in size, and larger 10-15 cm are more suitable for wood-burning heaters.

The stones play an important role in the steam room heater - they "produce" steam from the water poured on them, usually heated from 280 to 600 degrees. Sauna stones are usually heated in two ways: direct - when the stones are heated directly by the fire flame and smoke; and indirectly - when the stones are heated by a metal heater or electric heating elements.

Stones used for heaters are best washed thoroughly and placed correctly. If the stones are placed too densely, they may not reach the desired temperature, so it is best to place them loosely so that the stones are neither too sparse nor too dense. Correctly placed stones will ensure air circulation, thus speeding up the heating of the room. The main requirement for sauna stones is that they must efficiently store and release heat and, of course, not separate from water and heat.

Sauna lovers often wonder how often to change the stones in the sauna. Experts recommend renewing the stones at least once a year. How often - depends on how often the sauna is used. When managing stones, it is not necessary to change all of them, you can simply view them. Wash the hard ones and throw away the crumbly ones and only add the missing amount. If you find that they are just beginning to crumble, it is also better to replace them with new stones.

Experts recommend several types of stones for saunas - soapstone, raspberry quartz, jadeite, white quartz, olivine diabase, ceramic stones, one of the most popular stones - vulcanite. By choosing the right stones for your sauna, you will be able to enjoy not only high-quality steam, uniform heat, but also better health.

Soapstone has good thermal conductivity and heat resistance, and produces light, fine and gentle steam. Jadeite has a positive effect on health and well-being. Creates light, gentle steam in the sauna. The characteristics of raspberry quartz and white quartzite are low thermal conductivity and high density, so the steam from such stones will be gentle. Raspberry quartz is characterized by longevity. Gabbro diabase does not emit substances when heated, it heats up well and gives off heat quickly, it is characterized by the fact that it does not decompose quickly. Ceramic stones store and evaporate water well and are durable. Ceramic stones are made of clay and are designed more for electric heaters. If you think of mixing several types of stones, remember that there will definitely not be a significantly better effect, so it is not worth doing.
