From Experienced Sauna Builders To You …“Knowledge Makes a Difference”

Saunatec & Saunaman, in the SAUNA business since 1919 and 1995 |
|
About Saunaman Timo Lahdekorpi, an avid sauna aficionado for more than a half century, grew up in Finland and in 1980 made Durango, CO his home with his family. In 1995 Timo became known to local Southwest Colorado homebuilders and others as the “Saunaman” when he started building saunas for customers in Durango and Telluride. Although building saunas for many years, today Timo focuses on designing and selling authentic Finnish saunas manufactured by Finnleo-Saunatec. Thanks to the Internet, Timo’s services have spread across the nation and beyond. Saunaman has sold to many hundreds of customers around the country from homeowners to builders to governmental entities. Project sizes range from very small one/two person saunas to large commercial installations. Per capita, he has sold more Finnleo saunas than any other dealer in the nation. (Low overhead keeps his prices amongst the lowest in the country.) Be assured that when you buy a sauna from the Saunaman, you receive an authentic Finnish style sauna with all its benefits for your body, mind and soul. If you have a sauna design or construction question, Timo, the Saunaman will have the answer.

This is the ancestral sauna (built in the 1800's) the Saunaman's family used years ago in Finland. Today, modern Finnish log saunas, sauna cabins and log homes are available from the Saunaman as well. |

What is a Sauna? By definition, a sauna (Finnish word) is a room lined with soft wood and heated by rocks (and steam). Both temperature, 160F to 240F, and humidity, 15% to 50%, are controlled by the participants. “Dry saunas” are American versions. By definition then, “infrared saunas” are not really saunas but are called saunas mainly for marketing purposes. Infrareds do, however, share a number of sauna benefits and have their own merits. Be aware that on the Internet there is a lot of unsubstantiated sales hype about “infrared sauna” superiority over a traditional sauna. Saunaman offers you the industries leading features and benefits in traditional saunas (and infrareds) based on your particular needs, not sales hype/quotas.

Because a sauna… · makes you sweat to clean you inside out. · rids your body of toxins, i.e. mercury and lead. · helps heal skin ailments. · relieves muscle and joint pain. · exercises your cardiovascular system. · increases your resistance to illness. · releases tension and relaxes you. · is a great place to socialize. · is an enjoyable thing to do. · makes you feel great!! |

Applications:
Small 1 or 2 person traditional saunas.
Bathtub Sauna …. a Saunaman exclusive! If your home has a bathtub, you can now have a sauna with no additional space required. With a little bit of added materials, you can build a real Finnish sauna for your home. You still have a functioning bathtub and shower and in a few minutes convert this space into a real sauna. The hinged backrest and hinged bench fold up and out of the way. Just remove the three piece platform and you are ready to shower or bathe. You can build this sauna yourself utilizing local materials, aspen pictured, add a heater and few accessories (from the Saunaman) and you have a real functioning sauna for one to two people. Note: Just a single wall and ceiling cap was added to this enclosed bathtub. You can even take the sauna with you if you move because all tile work is left intact.
Infrared to traditional sauna conversions: A number of competitor manufactured infrared units still have emitters that leave you with “cold spots” throughout your body. I bought a used unit like this years ago and ripped out all the emitters, relined the walls with aspen (to fill in the emitter gaps) and made a nice little sauna that really “cooks”. But you don’t necessarily have to do that …. read on. Many people after having made their purchase, are now finding out that their infrared “sauna” is not really a sauna at all; see sauna definition below. They also miss out on the real sauna experience and benefits as infrared emitters do not kill germs (not hot enough, 160 plus degrees) to keep you healthier during the cold season. Finnleo-Saunatec’s new InfraSauna(TM), combination infrared-sauna models are now available that solve this problem (see below). But if you already have an infrared unit you can have a combo sauna too by adding one of these small heaters or a larger one.
