Traditional sauna.
Scandinavian
sauna bathing takes two traditional forms. The classic sauna is best
enjoyed at temperatures of 75–90°C in a relative humi-dity of 20–35%.
Now and then you sprinkle a ladle of water over the hot sauna stones
and feel the unique, tingling sensation as wave after wave of heat
penetrates deep into your skin. Your pores open, you perspire freely
and dead skin cells simply disappear in the shower. Rounding off by
pouring water over the stones is part of the ritual. A slightly
more extreme variation on this theme is the dry sauna in very high
temperatures (95–110°C) and an almost totally dry atmosphere. This form
of sauna bathing is popular among those who like to feel the searing
sensation of heat on their skin, when perspiration is the only way to
cool the body. For devotees of traditional sauna bathing, we recommend a classic Tylö heater or a model from the Mega series.
Steam sauna.
A
gentler form of sauna in 45–65°C, which many people experience as the
ideal bathing temperature. A continuous and automatic supply of steam
ensures constant humidity of 40–65%. The result is a more temperate
bathing climate that tempts both young and old to linger a little
longer. Just like traditional saunas, steam saunas produce the same sensation of clean, fresh skin and give you the same opportunity to unwind and relax both body and soul. For that touch of ultimate luxury, you can perfume the air with
invigorating herbs or fragrant essences. If you want to enjoy steam
saunas and traditional hot and dry saunas, choose Tylö Combi – an
ingenious solution that combines all the options in one single heater.
Steam bathing.
A
steam bath is not to be confused with the steam sauna. To enjoy a
modern steam bath you leave the realm of the wooden sauna cabin and
relax instead in a specially designed room finished in glass, plastic
or tiles. The humidity level is a constant 100%. However, the
temperature doesn’t rise above 40–45°C, so you can enjoy the experience
for as long as you like and lose yourself in clouds of soothing steam. If you are thinking of installing a steam bath at home, a practical
solution is to let the same facilities serve as a conventional shower
as well. Just complement your choice of a Tylö VA or VB steam generator
with a mixer tap and a sprinkler. Alternatively, Tylette Centre and
Tylö Felicity combine shower functions with an integral generator for
steam bathing.
Infra saunas.
This
form of bathing is based on infrared radiation and has little in common
with sauna bathing as such. The equipment Tylö uses emits IR-B and IR-C
radiation. This penetrates deep into the body and is widely used by
beauticians the world over to enhance the efficacy of a number of skin
treatments. Infrared radiation is also used as a medical therapy to
alleviate the effects of rheumatism, tense muscles and similar aches
and pains. It is a well-known fact that heat in all its forms
stimulates the body and enhances the sensation of mental and physical
wellbeing. So it’s no exaggeration to say that Tylö infra cabins are in
investment in good health, for body and soul alike. As Tylö infrared panels are fully-contained separate units, they can also be installed in existing sauna rooms.
Multi-saunas.
Installing
Tylö infrared panels together with a Tylö sauna heater in one and the
same bathroom is the optimum solution. In addition to their other
positive effects, infrared heaters heat up the sauna quickly. This
means you can start the bathing cycle almost imme-diately, enabling you
to squeeze in a relaxing sauna when you would otherwise not have had
time. Enjoying the benefits of infrared radiation on your body
at the same time as the sauna heater heats up the air in the sauna room
is a solution well worth considering – and one which satisfies all the
different preferences of the family for the best possible bathing
experience.
