Steam Sauna – The Steam Bath and the Sauna

The steam bath and the sauna are very similar. In the sauna (often referred to as “dry steam”), the temperature is higher and the relative humidity is lower than in the steam bath, where the temperature is between 40-60ºC, but the humidity can reach up to 80%. The sauna induces intense sweating, while the gentler, less hot steam sauna provides a milder sweating experience.

The steam sauna is well-tolerated by those with high blood pressure or asthma and allergy symptoms, for whom the traditional Finnish sauna may feel suffocating. Both children and the elderly can enjoy the benefits of the steam sauna.

The steam sauna can be designed in various types. We can create a dedicated steam sauna cabin, combine it with a Finnish sauna or infrared sauna, or develop a hybrid solution where both the Finnish sauna and the steam sauna operate from a single sauna heater.

We recommend the use of the Harvia Steamer for those who find it difficult to tolerate the high temperatures of a traditional sauna. It provides a softer and more humid sauna experience.

At lower temperatures and higher humidity levels, we can enjoy the therapeutic effects of sauna essential oils or the skin soothing and rejuvenating effects of sauna honey for longer.

Thanks to the steam generator, the steam sauna cabin can also be used as an aroma cabin. Different essential oils and aromas have varied effects on the body. You can select a fragrance according to your mood, which, combined with the steam, has health-enhancing benefits.

The Steamer can be used independently in a steam cabin, but it can also be placed alongside a Finnish sauna heater or in an infrared cabin. It is a perfect addition for the daily use of a Finnish sauna or infrared cabin.

A unique accessory of the steam sauna's steam generator is a ceramic holder in which various essential oils, herbs, or Himalayan salt can be placed depending on your mood.

Harvia Bio Sauna Heaters

The Harvia Bio sauna heaters are recommended for those who enjoy both the feeling of a Finnish sauna and the pleasant effects of steam. The Harvia Wall Kombi is a unique combination of an electric sauna heater and a steam generator, enabling versatile use.

With it, the sauna cabin can be used as a traditional Finnish sauna, steam sauna, herbal sauna, or aroma cabin. Within a combined sauna heater, the electric Finnish heater and the steam generator are integrated. The unique feature is that the two functions can be used separately or together.
