| Heating Style | Heats the air, then the body | Heats the body directly |
| Steam Option | Light steam from water on stones | Dry heat only |

♨️ Important Note on Steam Function:
This traditional sauna is not a steam shower or steam room.
The Harvia stove in this unit uses water poured over hot sauna stones to create a gentle steam, which naturally raises humidity inside the sauna room. This process enhances the traditional sauna experience by softening the heat and supporting deeper sweating.
However, this is not a sealed steam enclosure and will not produce thick, fog-like steam similar to a steam shower or Turkish-style steam bath. The humidity is noticeable — but mild — and designed to complement dry heat, not replace a dedicated steam system.
✨ In short: This is a traditional dry sauna with added steam enhancement, not a steam shower hybrid.
🌡️ Why Choose a Traditional Sauna?
Old-school heat. Deep sweat. Timeless benefits.
Traditional saunas — like this one powered by a Harvia stove — are all about intense, ambient heat that encourages heavy sweating, deep relaxation, and the kind of soul-cleansing you can feel in your bones.
This is the original sauna experience: a warm, wood-scented room where you pour water over hot stones and settle in. As your core temperature rises, your body goes to work — releasing tension, flushing toxins, and calming your mind.
