Traditional Saunas

Saunas are becoming more popular and affordable – you no longer have to be at the Health Club to enjoy the benefits of a sauna.

Rejuvenate body and soul at home! Saunas are very good for cleansing the skin and ridding the body of toxins. With many options and sizes available, it is now easy to integrate a small cabin into your existing room.

Tylö saunas use only the best quality wood available to withstand the extremes of heat. Some of the woods used are Spruce, Cedar and Aspen. This, together with Tylö's first class technical expertise and engineering, ensure you will be getting a sauna of premium 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 humidity of 20–35%. Now and then you sprinkle a ladle of water over the hot sauna stones and feel the unique, tingling sensation as wave after wave of heat penetrates deep into your skin. Your pores open, you perspire freely and dead skin cells simply disappear in the shower. Rounding off by pouring water over the stones is part of the ritual. 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. This form of sauna bathing is popular among those who like to feel the searing sensation of heat on their skin, when perspiration is the only way to cool the body. For devotees of traditional sauna bathing, we recommend a classic Tylö heater or a model from the Mega series.

Steam sauna
A gentler form of sauna is 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%. The result is a more temperate bathing climate which tempts both young and old to linger a little longer. Just like traditional saunas, steam saunas produce the same sensation of clean, fresh skin and give you the same opportunity to unwind and relax both body and soul. For that touch of ultimate luxury, you can perfume the air with invigorating herbs or fragrant essences. If you want to enjoy steam saunas and traditional hot and dry saunas, choose Tylö Combi – an ingenious solution which combines all the options in one single heater.

HELO TRADITIONAL SAUNAS

Helo is the world’s largest sauna and steam company. Helo saunas are built to the highest standard. The cabins are manufactured in their own factories in Finland and Germany using the best quality wood from renewable sources. Helo saunas do not neglect any detail such as the air gap incorporated into every wall and ceiling panel which works together with the insulation and vapour barriers to achieve maximum insulation.

Benches are made from select Abachi hardwood, which keeps cool and is therefore more comfortable to sit on. And then there are the heaters…… Some like sauna very hot and dry, others prefer a softer more comfortable heat, with higher humidity. Helo has a heater to suit everyone, from the Ever Ready heater, which uses a small amount of power to remain hot, to the highly popular “Softhot” design, which enables bathers to create high levels of humidity for a softer feel.
