Description

Atlantic Saunas offers beautifully crafted authentic Finnish saunas for your home. Atlantic founders have a decade of experience, and a burning passion for physical and mental well-being. Based on the north coast of Ireland near the ever-inviting North Atlantic Ocean, the company closely observed the developing role of hot and cold therapy in health and wellness, and was naturally drawn to heat therapy in the form of sauna relaxation.

Using only sustainably sourced 100% Canadian hemlock wood, Atlantic produces compact, yet superbly comfortable traditional saunas in which the heat can be adjusted with the turn of a switch, the humidity with a splash of water on the lava stones and essential oils added for calming aromas. This bespoke experience offers enormous health benefits, including pain and stress relief, improved cardiovascular health and enhanced mood.

The Atlantic Saunas "Hanko" is another sauna worth considering. It has a compact design for maximum efficiency, fits 2-3 people.The Atlantic Saunas "Snug" can accommodate up to 1 -2 people and is designed for your home.

The Atlantic Snug Indoor Sauna is a 1 to 2 person traditional sauna that offers an authentic Finnish sauna bathing experience. With a simple set up and operation, this unit is an ideal addition to any home. Using an expertly designed Finnish SAWO 3kW stove heater and lava stones, the user can control the heat and humidity of the sauna, and savour that familiar aroma of hemlock wood and the sizzle of the water as it evaporates on the stones. These charms cannot be replicated with an infrared pad, and it is important to understand the differences between a traditional and an infrared sauna.

Product features

The history of the traditional sauna dates back an impressive 10,000 years, and its culture is an integral part of Finnish life. For many Finns, the sauna is a place to disconnect; a means to be silent, still and spiritual. The traditional sauna is typically heated to between 70oC and 110oC, and becomes a hot and humid paradise. Water is poured onto heated stones to create the distinctive löyly, or atmosphere, of a traditional steam sauna. This atmosphere can be as humid or as dry as the bather desires, though typically it is kept to around 5% to 15%. Aromatherapy can also be used as part of a traditional sauna session, with additional scents and oils that have been added to the water. Users of the traditional Finnish sauna will typically stay in the sauna room for up to 30 minutes, after which time they may choose to get out and take a cold shower or ‘plunge’ (complete submersion in cold water) before repeating the process as many times as desired. This cycle of sauna and plunge is used to improve circulation and muscle function, stimulate the immune system, and also release endorphins.

Both infrared and traditional saunas offer established clinical benefits for cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid diseases, chronic fatigue and pain. They both have positive influence on exercise performance, skin moisture barrier properties, and muscle recovery. However, due to the distinct arrangement of heat and humidity, only the traditional sauna provides protection against memory diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, risk of pneumonia, arterial stiffness and respiratory disease. Traditional saunas have been found to offer psychological and lifestyle advantages that have been unmatched by other sauna types. In a global sauna survey, relaxation and stress reduction, mental health improvement, socialisation, and enhanced sleep were the primary reasons most people chose to bathe in a traditional sauna. With the intermittant cold plunge, pleasant feelings of dissociation and relaxation are evoked from a strong rush of endorphins.

Is the traditional Snug Sauna easy to assemble?

Yes, it should take about 45 minutes. We provide you with an easy to read ‘step by step’ manual. The Snug Sauna arrives flat packed in 5 boxes, this also makes it easier to take with you if you ever decide to move house. All wall sections are made to fit together precisely, this ensures that our saunas are very rigid and have a solid construction. Tools are also included at no extra cost.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes - please consult your electrician

Power - UK and Ireland

The snug must be hard-wired on its own circuit. It is supplied with a 3 pin plug for temporary supply/testing - this is to be removed and hard-wired. In the UK and Ireland, the declared voltage and tolerance for an electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts. Based on this the amp range on the snug sauna is 11.86 - 13.88.

UK domestic plugs have a limit of 13a. 3000KW is the maximum load for a plug. If in doubt please contact an electrician.

Not to be used with extension leads.

Does the sauna require any ventilation or plumbing?

The sauna cabin is self-venting and requires no plumbing. There is a sliding vent to control the exhaust of hot air and the unit stands off the floor on 4 cleverly designed supports so no further venting is required and your floor remains protected.

Is it difficult to assemble the sauna in a restricted area such as a loft or basement?

Atlantic saunas are supplied flat packed for assembly on site. Providing you can get the panels through any loft door etc. there will be no difficulty to assemble the cabin. By using advanced Far Infrared technology a sauna can be installed in any room (even on carpet) and only requires a standard 13 Amp plug socket. Unlike old style steam saunas there is no need for venting, special wiring or special flooring. Your spare room, conservatory, garage or any spare space can become a centre for relaxation and wellness.

Can the sauna be used outdoors?

Only if installed in a garden building such as a summer house or a shed. Please check the outdoor range of Atlantic Saunas.

Do you offer an installation service?

Yes we do offer installation, however this is an extra service. As our saunas are packed flat, they are transported and moved around the home easily, they are easily assembled and include clear simple instructions. This means that we do not charge you extra for things you can easily assemble on your own. So for his reason most of our customers choose to do this job themselves. If you would like to add assembly to your order please contact customer services. ** Our installation team will only build the sauna itself and not hard wire into building electrics where you need to engage your own electrical contractor **
