Important Points to Ponder on Saunas
- Don’t be misled by brochures - visit the showrooms
if you can.
- Ask for customers who have had saunas fitted for their
comments or read the comments sheet.
- Check the installation charges - this can be a way of
putting the price up.
- Make sure all the accessories are included in the price.
- Ask for the running costs of any sauna you are looking at. If the panels and walls are too thin, the rockwool may also be cheap and not very dense, this can lead to high running costs. A Finnolme sauna has the lowest running costs of any sauna in the UK.
- Check the guarantees - e.g. London’s oldest health
club had two saunas fitted. They broke down even though they
were only 6 months old. In one day, the owner spent over
four hours on the telephone trying to get the sauna company
to come out and repair them. After having no joy, he contacted
our company - we then carried out the service work for him.
The brochures from this company look great but their saunas,
on inspection, are not (p.s. they advertise in the same publications
and web pages as our company)
MAIN POINTS TO LOOK FOR BEFORE YOU PURCHASE
- Insist on secret nail panelling with no nail heads showing.
If the panels are not secret nailed the moisture on the
walls leaves rust lines under the nail heads.
- Panel thickness - We use 20mm panels, the thickest in
the UK. Try not to be misled by companies trading on their
names - this is cloak and dagger tactics.
- Tongue and groove depth - ours is 20mm -
this keeps running
costs down to a minimum.
- Wall thickness - ours is 40mm wood, 40mm mineral rock
wool making our walls 80mm thick. Any thinner results in
the stove working overtime.
- The guarantees: Ours is 36 months domestic use and 12
months commercial use.

DO SAUNA PANELS DIFFER IN THICKNESS?
The short answer is YES, just look at the panel on the left. This is from a sauna we took out of a health club when we fitted one of our saunas. The panel is from a sauna company who are on most search engines, Google etc.
On the right is one of our sauna panels showing a thickness of 20mm with our secret nail design. Also the picture helps show the grade of spruce used we use a good grade with a compact and tight grain while the other company use a low grade timber this can be seen with the grain being open and not tight. |
