THE BEST SAUNA
EXPERIENCE TO HAVE!
I
am very glad that you have invested in the Saunum
device, and I believe that our innovative technology
will offer you a wonderful and extraordinary sauna
experience.
I have a degree in thermal engineering and come from
Southern Estonia, where my love for saunas began. The special
feature of local historic smoke saunas is the lower tempera-
ture and higher humidity level than, for example, a classic
Finnish sauna. In ordinary saunas, the stone volume of the
sauna heater is generally small. Such an arrangement can
cause a sudden, burning hot steam and an extremely uneven
tempera ture, where your head and shoulder level is really hot,
but your feet are left cold. Such an experience can be quite
unpleasant and may cause headaches and lead to body stress.
However, in ancient smoke saunas and Native American sau-
nas, the stones were rst heated during the day. Then the heat
stored in the stones was used to cleanse the body and create a
truly enjoyable sauna experience.
Inspired by the experience of a smoke sauna, I wanted to
create an innovative solution that combines the best featu-
res of an authentic sauna with modern technology; enabling
a pleasantly mild and relaxing sauna experience without
painfully scorching steam. For that, however, I had to solve the
problem of how to achieve an even temperature, at both the
head and foot levels. My development work was supported
by research done alongside Tallinn University of Technology,
in which we analysed the thermal stratication and air move-
ment in the sauna room. Saunum was born in cooperation
between scientic thinking and technological innovation.
