| The Heart of the Sauna: line of convection air-flow sauna heaters. By achieving greater air-flow, the heater can heat the room more rapidly and extend the life of the heater elements. This is accomplished by a unique element chamber design that separates each element. By restricting air space, the lower cold mass of air forces the warm air out at a higher velocity. In traditional saunas, where the elements are grouped together in the chamber, the elements radiate heat against each other forcing the elements to work at a higher temperature and for longer periods of time compared to a convection design. |  |

| Gas or Electric? | |
| If possible, a gas sauna heater is the ideal choice. Gas heaters generate a quality of heat that cannot be achieved by an electric heater. Gas offers a warm friendly heat that greatly enhances the sauna experience. In addition to quality, in most parts of the world, it cost lest to operate than electric heaters (up to 50% less). The LTV (life time value) of a gas sauna heater is substantially greater than electric heaters from an operational and maintenance point of view. | |
