Choosing the right sauna heater can be a confusing business. First, you have to think about how much heat you need to produce to get your sauna up to temperature, consider how the heater will fit into the space available, and pick a heater that compliments the interior design of your sauna.
With the help of our expert advice, you will find it easy to get over these initial hurdles and we can then help you think about what else you can do to make the most of your new sauna.

Aqualine are now able to offer a huge range of ‘off the shelf’ modular steam rooms from Finland’s finest sauna and steam experts Harvia. These steam rooms come in various shapes and sizes and are pre-cut ready to be easily installed. Each steam room in the Harvia modular Steam Room range is made from 60mm Extruded Polystyrene boards (XPS). These boards are not only waterproof themselves but have a polymer concrete layer on each side for added strength and durability.
Not all steam rooms were created equal. Some of our competitors over complicate and under engineer their steam rooms by using a wooden frame and 20mm XPS boards, which whilst saving themselves money, also leaves their customers with a poorly insulated, less durable steam room which requires a lot more electricity to heat. Don’t compromise on quality, stick with tried and tested Harvia Modular

Acid damage to sauna hinges has been a problem in leisure facilities for some time. Many hotels, spas and gyms have saunas installed and most opt for full glass doors. While asthetically pleasing there’s always been one small draw back, acid. The acid in the environment often attacks the sauna hinges be it from cleaning products or chemicals in the atmosphere. The acid attacks the protective coating and it beings to peel away, leaving rusty and unattractive looking spots.
To combat this Harvia have been hard at work producing new hinges that are acid proof. The new hinges are available for all glass doors and are recommended for locations, where chloride and/or strong cleaning chemicals are used. Colour options are chrome and white.

Let’s talk about the difference between a sauna and a steam room and which one is potentially better.
Even though they’re both basically hot baths, a sauna uses dry heat and a steam room uses moist heat. Saunas have very low humidity, which means they can be much hotter than steam rooms. They’re usually between 80°C and 100°C, which is perfectly safe because they use dry heat.
A steam room on the other hand is usually about 40°C any hotter than that it could scald your skin. Steam rooms are heated with a steam generator where
