Have you already decided to get a 3 person traditional sauna for your home? If you want to take advantage of the maximum opportunities and benefits of this type of therapy, it is good to consider a few important details. With the best heater, along with ample firewood and electricity, you will enjoy hours of healing sauna sessions. Here is everything you need to know about the utility requirements of your new steam therapy tool.
In order for your sauna to function properly, you will need a sauna heater, wood, electricity, and water. Here is more information:
Wood Burning Heater
The wood-burning sauna heater is a fan favorite among sauna pros. Sauna goers enjoy its woody aroma and the ambiance it provides. Both of these factors make your sauna sessions more enjoyable.
Electric Sauna Heater
The electric sauna heater works the same way as the wood-burning type. It needs 220 volts of electricity to make your sauna stones hot, which we will cover later.
If you decide to use a wood-burning sauna stove, you will need wood to operate your sauna. The best part about a wood flame is that you have a variety of fuel options. You can use any kind of wood for your flame. Both softwoods and hardwoods can be used, but here is how they are different:
Softwoods
Pine
Cedar
Spruce

Oak
Maple
Walnut
Due to their long, slow burn, hardwoods are often seen as better suited for the sauna stove. Here are a few key points to remember:

Most pre-built saunas do not require insulation. The pod, kota, and barrel styles are some examples of the types of saunas that do not need the extra cushion. (For example, the Almost Heaven Huntington Canopy Barrel 6-Person Sauna does not need to be insulated.) If you decide to use a pre-existing building or want to build your sauna from scratch, you need the proper insulation.
