Sauna heaters – efficient heating for an authentic sauna experience

The sauna heater is undoubtedly the most important element in any sauna. It ensures the right temperature, the ideal humidity and an even heat distribution, so you get the full sauna experience. Whether you want an electric sauna heater with modern technology or a classic wood-burning heater, it is important to choose a model that suits your sauna and your needs.

With us you will find a wide selection of high-quality sauna heaters – from compact models for home use to powerful heaters designed for public saunas.

Ovens as needed

The right size oven provides just the necessary heat, and therefore saves on electricity bills.

Glass facades

Glass facades in the sauna have slightly different requirements for the size of the stove than traditional insulated wooden facades. However, the difference is not very large, as can be seen from the table.

Balance

The size of the sauna stove is a balance between rapid heating to the desired temperature and reasonable electricity consumption. The larger the stove, the faster the heating. The highest temperature is also reached with a smaller stove, and is determined by many other factors than the stove itself, including what is safe for health.

The more stones there are in the top, the more sauna steam you get. There is a much larger surface area to evaporate the water you pour onto the stones.

Some of the ovens can be combined with control panels that can be controlled over your network via an additional connection device. This can be either a simple “on/off” function, or a more detailed control, depending on the control panel and the WiFi box)

Sauna heaters for private vs. public use

There is a difference between stoves for private saunas and public or commercial saunas:

• Private sauna heater – Compact models with an output of 4.5-9 kW, suitable for smaller saunas.
• Public sauna heater – Powerful models from 10-70 kW, designed to run for long periods of time.

Public saunas often require extra safety measures, such as thermostats, timers, and automatic shut-off features.

Sauna stones – why they are important for heat distribution

Sauna stones play a central role in the heating process and affect both heat distribution and humidity.

• Stores and releases heat evenly – Provides a more stable temperature.
• Enables water application – Creates steam and increases humidity in the sauna.
• Extends the life of the sauna heater – Protects the heating elements from direct stress.

It is recommended to choose high-quality sauna stones, as they withstand high temperatures better and do not break down as quickly.

Installation and safety – what should you pay attention to?

To ensure a correct and safe installation of your sauna heater, you should consider the following:

• Distance requirements – The sauna heater must be placed with sufficient distance from walls and benches. See distance requirements for the individual heater in the manual.
• Ventilation – A properly ventilated sauna ensures a comfortable and even heat.
• Electrical connection – Electric sauna heaters often require a 400V installation.
