7 reasons for using The Sauna People Company

1. EXPERIENCE

We've been in business in New Zealand since 1992. Owner operator Harry Stein (well known amongst architects and builders) is a native Finn and brings 2000 years of tradition to his work. He adds an unbridled passion for Saunas and blends in 30 years of experience building and designing Saunas. The result? The finest Saunas available in New Zealand today.

2. WE MAKE IT EASY

All we need are your floor plans and we can immediately return a quote by fax. Harry, a civil engineer and qualified builder will do the rest. Just fax or mail a copy of your plans and Harry will draft a custom Sauna for your project. It's one less hassle for you to deal with. With over 20 major hotel, apartment and swimming complexes boasting The Sauna People Company Saunas, you can count on superior results.

3. THE REAL THING

We import only the best material directly from Finland. The quality of a Sauna relies primarily upon the wood used. Our Saunas are constructed using traditional timber, the Finnish White Spruce, which is far superior to Cedar (it darkens and stains with water). The Finnish White Spruce is grown slowly above 60 degrees Northern Latitude. It is a beautiful white, dense, durable wood. Cool to the touch, it is low in resin, breathes, retains and reflects heat and provides the best climate inside the Sauna. Our wide range of heaters offer all that is best in Sauna heaters. Clean, modern designs, large stone capacities for maximum air circulation, heat storage, steam and of course a comfortable Sauna atmosphere. We even have a heat storage unit which is ready to use at a moment's notice! Using the latest technology, it stores heat for standby use 24 hours a day, yet only uses power when it is in use. All heaters are incredibly inexpensive to run, using only 30 to 70 cents worth of electricity per hour of operation!

4. IN EXCELLENT COMPANY

A few of our corporate clients from this year include the Centra, Carlton, Grand Heritage and Metropolis in Auckland; Novotel Hamilton and the Glenfield Leisure Centre.

5. HEALTH BENEFITS

The Sauna is thought to be one of the most important aides to good health, offering a natural way to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Saunas are gaining popularity world-wide and in New Zealand. Having a Sauna in your facilities will definitely make an impression.

6. STEAM ROOM-DIFFERENT CLIMATE

A Steam Bath offers similar results to the Finnish Sauna, but in a different climate. It's a warm (45° vs. 70° Celsius for the Sauna) and moist (100% humidity) atmosphere. Our steam generators are designed specifically for commercial use.
