Finnish baths on a turnkey basis, projects

Projects of Finnish baths are gaining popularity and have become in demand not only in Europe, but also in the Russian Federation.

It successfully competes with the classic Russian bath in terms of rejuvenation and healing of the body, as it has unique healing properties.

In addition, it is much easier to build a sauna using Finnish technology on a personal plot of land than to organize a Russian bath.

Sauna in Finnish — what is it?

What is a Finnish sauna for an inexperienced master? Finnish saunas are a dry type of steam room, where cold water and hot air alternate, and this leads to increased sweat separation. This is extremely efficient.

At the same time, the air heating temperature reaches +110 degrees, and the water temperature reaches +45 degrees. The steam room according to Finnish technology is a special wooden room, which is equipped with shelves-loungers, which are placed along the walls to the ceiling. The regulation of the air heating temperature in the steam sauna is carried out by means of a built-in thermostat and is +75 … +110 degrees.

The air and humidity in it is maintained at 20%, which will ensure the creation of dry steam. Such conditions also contribute to increased sweat separation and the prevention of condensation. After that, the human body is cooled in cool water in a natural pond / pool to harden the body and increase the level of resistance to SARS and other colds.

Features of the bath according to Finnish technology

The peculiarity of such a bath is that the air heating temperature in the steam room is on average about +70 degrees, and for this reason it can be equipped in a city apartment or even a country house. The working principle of the steam room is quite simple — the fire inside the firebox heats nearby stones that give off heat to the room. So the air warms up to the set temperature.

These types of steam rooms must be equipped with chimneys in order to safely remove smoke. With enough air heating, people can sit on the shelves and pour cold water into the firebox to start steaming. The heated air will contribute to the rapid separation of sweat, which is the basis of bath procedures. After a good steaming, visitors can plunge into cold water, cooling the body to the required temperature.

Russian and Finnish baths — what are the differences?

According to the construction method and structural elements, the bath and sauna are very similar to each other. Both types are equipped with rest rooms, washing rooms, steam rooms and stoves. After the bath procedures, you can cool off in the font, shower or pool.

But there are 4 main differences:

1. In a Finnish sauna, the steam is hot and dry, while in a Russian steam room it is wet. The temperature level in the sauna in Finnish reaches +110 degrees with a humidity level of 20%, while in a traditional bath with a temperature variation of +50 …. +80 degrees, and the air humidity is a record 70%. In order not to cause damage to health, it is necessary to correctly maintain a balance between air humidity and temperature.
2. The next key difference between a sauna and a bath was the properties of the firebox. In the Finnish steam room, the stones are heated by means of a wood-burning or electric stove, and in no case should the stones be poured with water in order to prevent an increase in the level of humidity. In Russian baths, stones are placed in the heater itself so that they can be poured with water to increase the humidity of the air.
3. The absence of bath paraphernalia and brooms is the third extremely important difference. Finnish saunas are such that they do not use brooms (this is a contraindication with dry and hot steam), and the use of a broom is unlikely to be useful, but it can even leave serious burns on the skin.
4. A traditional element of the Russian bath in order to cool off after a steam room has become a font with ice or just cool water. such a function in the sauna is assigned to the pool, which is filled with water at room temperature.

Now, knowing the differences between the Russian bath and the Finnish bath, we will consider detailed information about each of the types.
