Wood-burning sauna stoves: a traditional and noteworthy choice
It has been known that sauna was
used by people for several thousand years and its positive effects on human
health are unquestionable. Historical sources show that people could have been
using the sauna even in much earlier times than 7000 years BC. This extremely
popular way of spending leisure time is deeply rooted in the culture of many
countries.
While in the modern times, many
consumers opt for solutions based on modern technology for sauna installation,
still, no one can replace a wood-burning sauna stove. After all, such a stove
is probably the most reminiscent and brings up the atmosphere prevailing in the
old baths. And this is not only due to the heat iself, but also due to the
crackling of firewood, the glowing fire, the special smell of burning wood,
which allows us to enjoy such a unique and ancient sauna-like environment. The
heat emitted by the wood-burning sauna stove is very soft and pleasant, has a
soothing effect and helps to create a unique sauna atmosphere.
Advantages of a wood-burning sauna stove
In order to help you decide, we
would like to introduce you with some of the many advantages wood-burning sauna
stoves provide.
No electricity required
First of all, the wood-burning
sauna stoves do not require any electricity. For this reason, it makes the
installation process much easier, as you can choose almost any place you want
to install your wood burning sauna stove - even where there is no electricity.
In addition, the stove will also not require any heating elements that might
otherwise wear out and would eventually need to be replaced. And although wood
might not be the cheapest option, by choosing a wood-burning sauna heater you
will not need to pay increased electricity bills, and the sauna will continue
to operate continuously even if the electric power is lost.
Significant health benefits
In a traditional sauna, such as
one with a wood-burning sauna heater, the prevailing temperature is much higher
and the humidity level is much lower (almost 30%) compared to steam baths,
where the humidity level is 100%. In addition, in such a sauna blood
circulation is improved significantly and similarly tension and stress is
reduced at a higher rate. The body and skin are effectively cleansed while
sweating through open skin pores during basking. This helps the body to recover
in a much more quick manner. However, different types of saunas have different
specific advantages, so the choice is up to you.
Creates great atmosphere for communication and relaxation
A traditional and nostalgic environment
can be easily achieved, especially when a wood-burning sauna stove is used to
heat the sauna. If you prefer to bask in the sauna with a larger group of
people or if it is an integral part of various celebrations or gatherings of
family and friends, the use of a wood-burning sauna stove could be a perfect
choice for you. The bursting of burning firewood, the soothing flame of fire
and the unmistakably pleasant smells altogether create a special atmosphere
that relaxes, enchants and is perfect for the time we spend socializing with
family and friends.
