Ultimate Guide To Barrel Saunas
Barrel saunas provide many different health benefits. These include pain relief, stress reduction, and improved cardiovascular health! But if you are looking to buy a barrel sauna it might seem difficult to know what to look for. With so many different types of woods and heating options available, how do you know which one to choose? This article will break down for you everything you need to know about buying a barrel sauna. It covers size, heaters, and the different woods available.
How to Choose the Right Sauna Size
When it comes to sauna size, there are a couple of things to consider. Measure the size of the space available to you before you buy. Also, check for any obstructions from trees or other obstacles. Also, think about how
many people will be using it. Small or medium spaces can fit a 2-4 person sauna, whereas larger areas could house a 4-8 person unit. Many saunas, such as Aleko, Canadian Timber, Scandia and Thermory barrel saunas come in many sizes. So, you can choose a model that fits the right number of people.
What Type of Heater Should You Use?
There are three main types of barrel sauna: electric, gas, or wood-burning. All types have pros and cons, so research which will suit your needs better.
Wood-burning heaters are the most common type of sauna heater. This is because they offer a natural experience and only need good quality cords of wood to burn. You will need to clean and maintain your wood heaters regularly. This is so that they remain safe and efficient. Electric sauna heaters are easy to maintain. They also allow stress-free temperature management. Bear in
mind that you will need to be close to a power source. Scandia offers a great quality range of electric heaters, from small to large. Gas heaters are also an option, as you can have a free-standing gas bottle that can help you to free up your location. You can buy gas heaters with different types of ignition, as well as alternative fuel types. High-quality heaters should be made of stainless steel and feature high-density stones.
