Why Choose Barrel Sauna?

A barrel sauna heats up faster

A barrel sauna will heat up faster than a regular sauna room. In a square sauna, there is unused space and the sauna heater has to heat up the whole space. That takes more time than heating up a barrel sauna. A barrel sauna has less unused airspace but an equal amount of usable air space, allowing the same-size heater to get the whole room hotter a lot faster. 

Even distribution of heat

Thanks to the barrel sauna shape, the heat gets spread around equally in the whole sauna room. The curvature of the room allows the upper heat to be pushed down the sides and back into the sauna as new heat rises from the heater. This brings the higher temperatures lower into the sauna and allows the heat to flow evenly throughout the room. Square-shaped saunas will always have the top part of the sauna hotter than the bottom.

Barrel saunas are efficient

Since the air and heat move around better, resulting in it being spread evenly and faster, it uses less energy. That doesn’t add too much extra cost to the utility bill, so the sauna can be used frequently.  

Low maintenance

Our barrel saunas are designed and built for the outdoors. It’s ideal for that because it naturally sheds water. The structural integrity also permits the sauna to handle a substantial snow load with no effect on the structure of the sauna. The polymer support cradles allow the barrel to sit on any flat surface. There is virtually no ongoing maintenance required for your sauna.

Health Benefits Of Barrel Sauna

Saunas help relieve stress

Reducing your stress levels is one of the key benefits of using a sauna. Medical studies often cite stress as a major factor affecting our health and well-being. Stepping into a sauna helps you immediately shut off from the outside world, enclosed in a warm, quiet space free from everyday distractions immediately puts you in a calmer, more relaxed state of mind. The heat from a barrel sauna helps relax your body’s muscles, stimulates circulation and encourages the release of endorphins, the feel-good chemical that gives you a natural high.

Muscle aches and pains can be soothed away

As well as promoting the release of endorphins that can help reduce the sensation of pain, the natural heat of a barrel sauna raises your body temperature, dilating blood vessels and improving your circulation. An increased blood flow can help speed up your body’s natural healing process and promote muscle regeneration together with natural healing. Stepping into a barrel sauna after an intense workout will immediately reduce muscle tension, eliminate lactic acid build-up and help reduce toxin levels in your body. The perfect way to unwind after exercise.

Cleanse your skin the natural way

Sweating helps your skin naturally clear pores, rinse bacteria and replace dead skin cells, keeping your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.

Saunas help improve your sleep patterns

Natural sleep is normally preceded by a drop in body temperature. Using a barrel sauna in the evenings will help you increase your body temperature which in turn promotes a dramatic drop in core temperature after sauna use. This in turn signals the brain that it is time to sleep. Users often recount the feelings of deep sleep after bathing in the calming heat of a sauna.

Help fight illness

Saunas have been linked to a significant reduction in incidences of colds and flu among regular users. As your body is exposed to the heat and steam of a traditional barrel sauna more white blood cells are produced helping your body fight illness and kill viruses. Saunas are also the perfect way to relieve uncomfortable sinus problems associated with colds and allergies, warm steam vapor helps clear congestion and a touch of eucalyptus added to your water bucket will only help enhance your sauna experience.
