From Tree to Soul: The Story of How a Premium Sauna is Made
Step behind the curtain and discover the craftsmanship, materials, and passion that go into every one of our saunas. Learn what separates a masterpiece from a common hot-box. Ready for the tour? Explore our Pixxla sauna collection.
Introduction
When you close the sauna door and the world is left outside, you are enveloped by silence, warmth, and the scent of wood. It is a space for escape and regeneration, a small temple of tranquility. But have you ever wondered about the journey that led to the creation of this perfect space? The production of a premium sauna is not just about joining wooden planks; it's a story of respect for nature, of precise craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of the physics of heat and relaxation.
The Manufacturing Mechanism: The Journey from Design to Reality
Every sauna undergoes a precise process that combines modern technology with honest craftsmanship.
- Phase 1 – Design and Concept: It all begins with a vision. Architects and designers create a plan that considers not only aesthetics and ergonomics (e.g., the angle and height of the benches) but also air circulation, heater placement, and safety standards.
- Phase 2 – Careful Selection of Materials: Every plank of wood passes through the hands of our masters. We select only the highest quality pieces with ideal density, free of large knots or defects that could warp under the influence of heat.
- Phase 3 – Craftsmanship: This is where the magic happens. The wood is precisely cut, planed, and sanded. Joints are often made using traditional carpentry techniques that guarantee the strength and longevity of the entire structure.
- Phase 4 – Assembly and Technology: The sauna's frame is assembled, and insulation and a vapor barrier are applied. Next comes the installation of the heart of the sauna—the heater and lighting. All electrical components must meet the strictest safety certifications.
- Phase 5 – Final Details and Quality Control: Benches, backrests, tempered glass doors, and other accessories are installed. Each sauna undergoes a final, multi-hour inspection where the functionality, safety, and quality of every single detail are tested.
1. Clinical studies and evidence
The Thermodynamics of Wood
The choice of wood is critical. Wood for saunas must have low thermal conductivity so it doesn't burn to the touch, and high thermal capacity to maintain a stable heat. Studies (e.g., from the Forest Products Journal) confirm that wood species like Western Red Cedar or Nordic Spruce have an ideal cellular structure that resists deformation during extreme changes in temperature and humidity. Cedar also contains essential oils (like thujaplicin) that act as a natural antiseptic and release a therapeutic aroma.

The science behind heat retention is unforgiving. High-quality, non-toxic insulation (e.g., mineral wool) and a precise construction with a vapor barrier are essential to minimize heat loss. Energy efficiency analyses show that a properly insulated sauna not only reaches the desired temperature faster, but its operation is up to 40% cheaper compared to an uninsulated or poorly constructed cabin.

Quality of Joints: Are the joints between the planks precise and tight? Can you see any gaps or traces of glue?
Solidity of Materials: Do the wood and benches feel robust and sturdy? The thickness of the walls and benches is a sign of quality.
Type and Brand of Heater: The heart of the sauna is its heater. Renowned manufacturers (e.g., Narvi, Harvia) are a guarantee of safety, efficiency, and a long lifespan.

4. Risks and limitations
What to Avoid
Investing in a cheap, poorly made sauna carries risks:
- Health Risks: The use of improper glues, varnishes, or wood (e.g., chemically treated) can release harmful substances (VOCs) into the air at high temperatures.
- Safety Risks: Unprofessional installation of an electric heater poses a serious fire hazard. Thin, non-tempered glass can shatter from the heat.
- Economic Risks: Poor insulation and imprecise joints lead to huge heat losses and unnecessarily high electricity bills.
- Low Durability: The use of unsuitable, soft wood or low-quality fasteners leads to rapid wear and deformation of the sauna.

6. Summary (scientific)
The construction of a premium sauna is an applied science where material engineering and thermodynamics define the final functionality and safety. The choice of wood with low thermal conductivity and high stability (e.g., Thuja plicata, Picea abies) is critical for user comfort and longevity. Energy efficiency is directly proportional to the quality of the insulation layer and the precision of the vapor barrier, which minimize thermal bridges. Safety is ensured by using certified electrical components and tempered glass, whose mechanical resistance is significantly higher. Quality manufacturing is therefore not a subjective term, but a set of scientifically-backed decisions.
Summary in human language
How to Recognize a Masterpiece?
Want to know if you're standing in a quality sauna? Trust your senses:
- EYES: Look at the details. Are the joints perfect? Is the wood beautiful, without flaws?
- TOUCH: Run your hand over the benches. Is the surface smooth and solid? Does anything move or creak?
- NOSE: Take a deep breath. Do you only smell the clean, pleasant scent of wood?
- MIND: Ask about the brand of the heater and the type of glass. The answer will tell you everything.
True quality is not hidden in the price, but in the craftsmanship you can feel at every step.

How to get here and where to park?
What should I bring?
We currently offer two types of reservations for most saunas:
Customers are advised to bring flip-flops, slippers or other light footwear.
Remember to also bring your own water and be sure to take a drink. We recommend drinking up to 1.5 litres of water per person during the sauna session.
This sauna concept does not have a rest room, so you can relax on the terrace. If you don't like the cold, you can also bring a blanket to wrap yourself in between sauna cycles.

Can I take a shower with you?
Our sauna represents a return to traditional sauna culture, which means you won't find showers in our facilities. Instead, we offer a cool of in the cold plunge pool. This way is not only eco-friendly, but also refreshing and authentic.
It is important that our visitors do not use shampoos or shower gels in the lake to protect the natural environment. Please bring a towel and tarp and don't forget to drink. We recommend drinking at least 1.5 litres of water per person while in the sauna.

Can I make a reservation if I am under 18?
Reservations can only be made by persons over 18 years of age. This is to ensure safety and to comply with the rules of our facilities. Younger persons may only visit the sauna when accompanied by an adult. This is necessary to ensure the comfort and safety of all our visitors.
Can children sauna?
Yes, children can use the sauna, but only when accompanied by an adult. Our sauna is the ideal environment to introduce children to sauna use, as you can regulate the temperature yourself. We do not recommend that children under 3 years of age visit the sauna, as their bodies are not yet fully adapted to the high temperatures. Children over the age of 3 can use the sauna, but their comfort must be taken into account and the time spent in the sauna must be limited. Parents should monitor how the child feels and adapt the sauna to the child's individual needs.
Can alcohol be consumed in the sauna?
Consumption of alcohol in the sauna is strictly prohibited. Alcohol can significantly increase the risk of dehydration and collapse at high temperatures, which can be dangerous to your health. We recommend that you follow a drinking regime and consume only non-alcoholic beverages to ensure your safety and comfort while in the sauna.
Can I cancel or change my reservation?
Yes, you can cancel your reservation, but there are conditions. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled time to receive a full refund. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, a refund will not be possible. For detailed information on cancellation and refunds, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.
What is the optimum temperature?
The optimum temperature for sauna bathing is between 80 °C and 100 °C. This temperature ensures effective overheating of the body, leading to maximum health effects such as detoxification, improved blood circulation and muscle relaxation. For beginners or children, it is recommended to start at a lower temperature and gradually increase it according to tolerance. Always be mindful of your comfort and your body's response. We asked this question to the Finns who voted in our poll and you can see the results at this link.
Do I have to book the sauna in advance?
