About Saunaman

    Timo Lahdekorpi is known to local Southwest Colorado homebuilders and others as the

“Saunaman”. Although Timo grew up in Finland, he made Durango, CO his home in 1980 and has been an avid sauna aficionado for more than a half century. His wife and son are sauna fanatics as well.

     Although building saunas for many years, today Timo focuses on designing and selling authentic Finnish Saunas. 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, 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, cabins and sauna-cabins are now available from the Saunaman as well.

About Our Company        
   
The Saunaman's business, Scandia Building Products, is located in Durango, Colorado. The company philosophy is to specialize in and represent a few select, proven and well established product manufacturers and do it well. Although serving the Four Corners Region since 1995, thanks to the Internet, our services have spread across the nation and beyond. Per capita, we have sold more Finnleo saunas than any other dealer in the nation.
    We do not maintain a high profile storefront. Rather than expanding into other products and services to help pay the expenses of a big store, we maintain low overhead enabling us to focus on higher levels of service and offering you greater product value than available elsewhere.
    Our customers must agree, since much of our business comes from repeat sales and referrals. We hope to be of service to you 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 sauna participants. “Dry saunas” are American versions and today we have “infrared saunas” as well. With nearly a half century of experience, The Rocky Mountain Saunaman is uniquely qualified to bring you the authentic Finnish Sauna (which can be taken dry if you prefer) along with other variations such as the infrareds.

Why “take” a Sauna?

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!

Outdoor Sauna

Spend quality time with friends and family in your backyard sauna. Finnleo’s® superb sauna design, allows this home sauna to tie into its surroundings effortlessly. Doubling as a pool house, they are perfect for entertaining poolside, spa-side, near the patio, or lakeside.

Designer Sauna

Clean, contemporary styling, highly prized woods, and quality craftsmanship, make a designer Finnish sauna the ultimate in luxury and comfort. A modular, prefab sauna in which each board is individually selected and finished and each door and window handmade to meet the most lavish tastes.

Master Bath Sauna

Finnleo® 's new modular Master Bath Series saunas are designed to fit almost anywhere — even into very small bathrooms. The saunas incorporate the latest European design features along with traditional Finnleo® quality.

Sisu Prefab/Modular Sauna

Finnleo’s® Sisu series has become the “Classic” of the residential sauna industry. This traditional Finnish Sauna is made exclusively of fine-grained Nordic White Spruce, to provide a light and well-ventilated interior with a subtle hint of deep Finnish Forests. True to Finnleo® design, it is offered in unlimited designs from personal size to club size.

Patio Sauna

The Patio Sauna takes the popularity of the Sisu series a step further by offering the sauna as a portable, pre-built two-piece unit designed to be locked together with cam latches and ready for power hook-up in a matter of minutes.

Custom Cut

These are Saunaman’s specialty! Custom made to accommodate any special design or unique location. Finnleo’s® pre-cut saunas are easy to integrate into your home. A custom designed pre-cut sauna package that comes with everything you need and ready for installation in the perfect area of your home. All you have to do is be ready to relax.

 

Thera-Port

The Thera-Port is a sauna similar to the two piece Patio Series but much smaller, a 45”x45” base with 120v. operation. If you do a lot of moving, you can take this sauna with you! It is also available in a knock-down version which is even more compact than the standard version.

Sauna Heaters

The sauna heater is the heart of the sauna. Built by Saunatec, these heaters are amongst (if not) the best in the world. Backed by the strongest warranty in the industry, Saunatec heaters come available for just about every conceivable application.  Wood burning heaters are available in several sizes and configurations but are not shown on this link. Please contact us for more information.

Heater Controls

Whether you want 24 hour programmability, 9 hour preset or simply a 60 minute timer, a number of control choices are available. There Is even a simple on/off control for commercial applications.

Saunatec CarbonFlex Far-Infrared

A Far-Infrared Sauna is perfect as a "heat therapy room" for athletes looking for a pre-workout warm-up to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It's also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing, wind-down at the end of a stress-filled day. Check out the 2-in-1 Combination Sauna & Far-Infrared!

Accessories

Buckets, ladles, thermometers and other accessories are available separately from the standard sauna package

Barrel Sauna

These Almost Heaven barrel saunas are a unique offering with excellent outdoor applications. Having personally built and used them, they are easy to build and great to use. Although an electric heater is included, I believe one of these with a wood burner would be just ….. heavenly!

Pricing

   If you live in the Durango/Four Corners Area or do not have a Finnleo dealer within 50 miles from you - you are lucky!  Not only will you be able to purchase the number 1 selling sauna products in the nation at the lowest prices available , but have it shipped to you factory direct (at a tremendous freight discount) without tax, except in Colorado. Unfortunately, the factory (Finnleo-Saunatec) does not allow any of their dealers to display pricing on the web, so please contact us for current pricing.

Shipping

   We ship everywhere! Most items are shipped factory direct within 24 hours of order via United Parcel Service. Larger items such as sauna kits, commercial electric and wood burning sauna heaters must ship by common carrier. There is typically several weeks lead time (varies by seasonal demand) to ship sauna kits. Infrareds may ship even sooner. Most shipments will come on a single pallet which will typically fit in a standard pickup truck bed.
