Traditional Sauna Heating

The Heart of the Sauna.

Hekla's traditional saunas pair with Harvia electric heaters designed to heat the room and a generous bed of sauna stones. The exact heater depends on the sauna model and installation.

01 — HEAT

Warm the Room

The electric heater raises the sauna to traditional bathing temperatures, generally around 158–194°F.

02 — STONES

Store & Radiate Heat

Sauna stones absorb heat from the heater and radiate it throughout the room for a comfortable, enveloping feel.

03 — LÖYLY

Add Steam

Pouring small amounts of water onto the heated stones creates the burst of steam that defines the traditional sauna experience.
