Welcome to your Hekla

There are several benefits to using a Hekla sauna including relaxation, improved circulation, detoxification, pain relief, improved skin health, weight loss, improved sleep, recovery after intense physical activity and social connectivity.

Saunas should be used in moderation and it is important to stay hydrated while using a sauna to avoid dehydration. It is also a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before using a sauna, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are pregnant.

Hekla saunas are built with Thermowood which is 100% natural. The heat treatment process is chemical-free and the improved performance is achieved simply by the controlled application of heat and steam. Our wood material is certified Nordic Spruce which is sourced from Northern European forests and grown with sustainable practices. Roof shingles are also provided on the roof to protect the sauna and increase the insulation.

Thermowood is wood that has been subjected to a heat treatment process that involves heating the wood to high temperatures, usually between 200 and 220 degrees Celsius, in the absence of oxygen. This process changes the chemical and physical properties of the wood, making it more durable and resistant to decay. Advantages include increased durability, improved stability, enhanced appearance, increased resistance to fire and sustainability.

Roof shingles protect the sauna and its occupants from rain, snow and other weather conditions, which helps to extend the life of the sauna. They also improve insulation, keeping the interior warm and reducing energy consumption, add visual appeal, and a well-maintained outdoor sauna with a durable roof can increase the value of a property.

A barrel sauna is effective due to a number of factors including it heats quickly, distributes heat, saves energy, accommodates temperature flux and is structurally sound. It is also remarkably comfortable and requires no maintenance.

Due to the heat and humidity generated within the sauna they are very effective and provide a relaxing and therapeutic experience. The high heat and humidity levels can help to increase circulation, relax muscles, and remove toxins from the body through sweat. The heat and humidity may also have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system, helping to clear the sinuses and alleviate congestion.

There are two options for heating for each sauna including an electric heater and a wood burning stove. We recommend using Harvia for both heating options.

A 2 year warranty on the sauna and a 2 year warranty on the Harvia heater. Full terms and conditions apply. Remember to register your sauna within 7 days of delivery to ensure the warranty is valid.
