Best Traditional PickFrequently Asked Questions
How hot does a traditional sauna get?
Traditional saunas typically run hotter than infrared cabins, often exceeding what most infrared units reach, since they heat the surrounding air directly.
Can I install a wood-fired sauna indoors?
Wood-fired stoves require a proper flue and clearances and are most commonly installed in outdoor cabins — check local building codes before planning an indoor wood-fired install.
What's löyly?
Löyly is the burst of steam created when water is ladled onto the hot rocks of a traditional sauna heater.
