2 person Finnish sauna
Two person Finnish sauna: a stone heater in barely more than a square metre
The Finnish sauna BL-181 measures 150 × 100 cm and is the most compact Finnish sauna in the range: barely one and a half square metres, 200 cm high. The stone heater takes the air up to 90 degrees at low humidity, and that is what separates a Finnish cabin from every other kind: you sweat because of the heat of the air, not through radiation. It costs € 3.559.
Löyly: why the stones matter
In the Finnish tradition the central act is pouring water onto the hot stones. The steam that follows, called löyly, raises humidity for a few minutes and makes the heat feel far more intense without the air temperature actually changing. It is the experience no infrared cabin can reproduce, because there is no thermal mass there to wet. The stones need checking periodically and replacing when they start to crumble: it is the only routine maintenance a Finnish sauna requires.
Where to install it and what is needed
You need 150 × 100 cm of free floor, a usable height of at least 200 cm and a level, dry floor. The cabin sits on the existing screed, arrives as a kit of panels and slots together: no building work. A dedicated electrical circuit for the heater is required, sized against the output stated in the technical sheet, along with ventilation in the room. Empty weight is 160 kg.
Frequently asked questions about the 2 person Finnish sauna
What temperature does it reach? Up to 90 degrees at low humidity, the classic Finnish profile. Temperature is set from the control panel.
How long does it take to heat up? More than forty minutes, and from a cold room up to an hour: it depends on heater output and the starting temperature. This is the wait an infrared cabin does not require, since there you go in after a few minutes.
Can water really be poured on the stones? Yes, that is how it is meant to be used. Pour a little at a time with the ladle, never in a stream: the steam is immediate and intense.
How much does it cost? € 3.559, in the standard configuration.
