Sweat bath has always been a tradition and institution among people from Suomi, the ancient word for Finland.
As early as the 16th century, the glowing heat of the sauna would relax its host’s muscles and soothe his soul. Also used for its social and medicinal values, Finnish sauna was no luxury back in the days.
It then acquired spiritual significance while it continued to exist and last through times. At Orange Spa, we invite you to come cleanse and refresh your body by recommending you this therapy to help you eliminate wastes and body toxins and contribute to better health and vitality at a temperature typically running between 169 to 190 °F (76 to 88 °C).
As it urges every organ of the body into action reduces the growth rate of most bacteria and viruses and improves blood vessel function, our Suomi sauna will work as a detoxifier, help you prevent heart diseases as well as the flu and cold, act as an immune system stimulant and help you get rid of skin problems, muscles sores.
There are many people, especially in North America, who say they don’t appreciate sauna, sauna is not good, it’s too hot, there is not enough air to breath, etc... Are those people right?
Well… For a sauna to be really good, it needs to be properly planned and built. There are almost 2 dozens theses that, according to Finnish Sauna Academicians are needed for the perfect sauna.
While all of that points is difficult to accomplish, by following crucial of them, it is possible to obtain a near-perfect experience. Two necessities are above all others: a good kiuas (heater) and good ventilation. Without these, no sauna can give satisfaction
1. Location.
Sauna should have a calm surrounding area to providea peaceful setting for cooling down after the sauna.Relaxation after the sauna is an important part of the full sauna experience. Through our super sauna windows you’ll see the beautiful 4 seasons terrace garden and, over the terrace fence, some best downtown views.
2. Size Matters.
The sauna itself, the heated steam room, should be big enough. Its volume should be at least some 350 cubic feet, giving a minimum floor area of 45 to 55 sq. ft. Saunas smaller than this are not real saunas, but mere heat rooms!
3. The Benches.
The bench should be at least 2 ft broad for comfortable sitting and lying down. The benches can be made of several kinds of wood. For the total Finnish touch it should be abachi, from Kenya of a few other parts of Africa.
4. The Heaters.
The heart of a good sauna is as big a kiuas as possible. For the supersauna, we use 6 heaters.
5. The Stones.
The steam of a healthy löyly comes only from the stones, not from the contact of water with metal parts of the kiuas (heater). The type of stones and their origin also is important. The amount of stones is crucial. The supersauna, we offer, has at least 80 kg of stones in each heater, almost half a tone for the whole sauna, smaller amounts cannot generate enough heat and steam for the big sauna. The kiuas must be capable of heating the stones fast, but not necessarily very hot, since 75 to 80 degrees Celsius is easily hot enough for good löyly.
6. Height.
Modern saunas are often too low. Because the heat goes up from the kiuas (heater), the bathers should be completely above the its top. Our ceilings are 7’6" high.
7. Walls and Ceilings Material.
We use clear pine, an inch thick, with some cider insertions. It creates the best possible effect, both for getting secondary heat waves, with some Infra Red content, and for perfect smell.
8. Ventilation.
With an electric kiuas (heater), it is now considered best to bring fresh air into the sauna 6" – 18" above the floor level.
9. Good Air.
For the sauna to be comfortable, the air in the sauna has to be rich in oxygen. The ventilation has to be well done because most electrical heaters burn some of the oxygen from the air and the sweat and coal dioxide must be efficiently removed. If the air contains many negative ions, it will give the bather a better feeling. Soapstone for example provides a good steam if it is heated properly. To avoid unwanted smells, the sauna has to be well ventilated both in use and between uses.
10. Water.
The water used for the löyly can also matter. For the best steam, we use normal, clear drinking water. Rain water is often too flat, and salty seawater causes literally acid rain in the sauna. Natural spring water may well be the perfect water for the sauna.
11. Light.
As the atmosphere in the sauna tends to be moody, the lights should not obstruct this feeling. No direct lights should be used, but only bulbs behind wooden panels. The light is only needed when coming or exiting the sauna.
12. Details.
To protect the wood, the benches and other wooden surfaces are built so they are easy to wash and can dry fast. The wooden legs of the benches are not in contact with the floor, but a plastic stud is separate them from the water on the floor.
13. Using the Vihta.
In old times the vihta was an important part of bathing in a sauna. Although its use is not so common these days, it still gives the sauna that finishing touch.
14. Nordic Splash.
Do not forget, when exiting the sauna, to turn right, to the garden, and splash yourself with a bucket of cold and clean water, you will feel and look 10 years younger right after.
15. Traditions.
Throughout the centuries, the sauna has been a place of cleanliness and peace. Though nowadays it is mostly a place for relaxation and a stress reliever, remember to respect the peaceful atmosphere. Also, keep in mind that there is a Sauna-elf and a Spirit of the Löyly in every sauna, and if you treat them properly, they will guarantee you a pleasant sauna. | | Super Sauna at Spa Orange | Super Sauna at Spa Orange | Super Sauna at Spa Orange | Nordic Spa Traditions in Winter | Nordic Spa Traditions in Winter | |
