Varieties of equipment

Today the market offers a wide range of sauna furnaces, so sometimes it is quite difficult to understand what equipment will be suitable in a particular case. In the catalogs of our Stove Shop you can choose and buy such types of stoves for baths and saunas:

• wood-fired;
• electric;
• gas.

Each option has its own features and advantages, so you should learn more about it to make the right choice.

Wood-fired steam room

So, wood-fired sauna

stoves are a classic variant of stove equipment, which is based on burning wood to warm the stones. The heat during combustion is transferred to the stones and then to the air in the steam room. Wood stoves for baths differ in that they allow you to create a traditional “bath” atmosphere - a real fire gives coziness to the steam room and fills the room with a special aroma. Also, such stoves are cost-effective, because firewood is often cheaper than electricity and gas. The equipment is autonomous and does not depend on the power grid, which is especially important for country houses. And with proper operation, a wood stove for sauna or sauna guarantees a ready soft and saturated steam.

However, it is worth being prepared for some disadvantages:

• Requires regular preparation and storage of firewood.
• Regular maintenance of the system.
• Difficulty in temperature regulation.
• Increased fire hazard in case of improper installation.
• Prolonged heating up.

It should also be understood that in order to install a wood stove, it is necessary to carry out the correct installation of the chimney, taking into account certain requirements (diameter, height, insulation). In addition, it is necessary that there was a proper draft. If you do not have experience and skills, it is worth contacting a specialist who will carry out the installation of the stove.

When choosing the perfect wood burning sauna heater for your sauna or bathhouse, you need to consider the size of the steam room, the type of sauna, and also take into account the desired mode of steaming and budget.

Electric-powered devices

Electric sauna stoves are powered by heating, which is accomplished by electric heaters or other heating elements. Among the most important advantages of this type of sauna or sauna stoves are the following:

• Ease of installation - for the operation of the stove does not need a chimney, so the furnace can be installed in any room.
• Ease of operation - temperature control is automatic.
• Safety - built-in safety features minimize the risk of fire or overheating.
• Compact - the stove is suitable even for small baths or saunas.
• Fast heating - no need to wait for the wood to burn.

However, electric models are always dependent on the power grid. You will also be expected to pay quite high electricity costs, so this option is suitable only for irregular use of the steam room.

Installation, although relatively simple, but most often still require the services of a qualified electrician for wiring, selection of the necessary power and cross-section, arrangement of grounding, installation of protective screens and insulation.

Electric sauna stoves can be wall-mounted (a compact option for small rooms) or floor-mounted (powerful models for spacious saunas).

Gas-fired equipment

Gas-fired sauna stoves run on natural or liquefied gas, heating the stones with a burner. Such models of stoves for bath or sauna are considered economical, as gas is cheaper than electricity. The equipment provides fast heating and maximum convenience, because the gas supply and control are carried out automatically. When operating a gas stove, there is no smoke and ash, so cleanliness is ensured. However, there are some disadvantages of gas stoves, for example, such a device is characterized by the complexity of installation. In addition to the fact that you need permission from the gas services to connect to the gas main or cylinder, you need a qualified check of the tightness of the connections, installation of protection and insulation.

When buying a gas firebox, you should consider the availability of the gas pipeline, the size of the steam room, power and safety.

Features of choosing a

furnace ————————

In the catalogs of our Stove Shop offers an extensive selection of models of stoves. In order to choose the most suitable option for your conditions, we recommend to take into account such characteristics:

• Power. Correct power calculation is a key point. For 1 m.cube of volume of the steam room requires 0.7-1.2 kW of furnace power. (For well-insulated rooms - 0.7 kW/m.cube, for poorly insulated, with windows and doors - 1.2 kW/m.cube. It is important to realize that if the power is too small, it will lead to slow heating and insufficient heat, and if too high - to energy overconsumption and overheating.
• Materials. The body of the firebox can be made of cast iron (provides durability and resistance to high temperatures), steel (guaranteeing fast heating, but metal is less resistant to thermal stress) or brick (traditional option, but requires professional laying). Stones for the sauna heater can be such: gabbro-diabase (durable, heats up quickly), jadeite (characterized by therapeutic properties), talcochlorite (holds temperature for a long time), quartzite or serpentine (resistant to temperature fluctuations). It is recommended to choose stones without cracks and with high temperature resistance.
• Type of firebox. Stoves for sauna or sauna can be open (quickly heated, but cool down faster) and closed (longer retain heat, but provide a soft steam).
• Additional features. Depending on your needs and preferences, you can choose a model of sauna stove with a steam generator, remote control, glass doors (more suitable for wood stoves), automatic temperature control and other important options. The more features a firebox has, the higher the cost will be.

Choosing a firebox stove depends on your preferences, operating conditions and budget. Wood stoves are suitable for connoisseurs of tradition, electric - for those who appreciate convenience, and gas stoves are considered a rather economical option with good efficiency.
