Saunas

Saunas draw on an age-old tradition that has been venerated throughout the world’s colder climates for almost all of civilisation: Sweat bathing. This practice is said to purify and invigorate the body and mind, as well as assist with weight loss, pain relief and even fertility. Clinically, the intensive, dry heat of the sauna has been shown to increase blood flow, which helps to relieve sore muscles, reduce tension in the joints and relax the body.

The intense heat of the sauna also engages the body’s sympathetic nervous system, which reduces pain and increases alertness, contributing to an overall feeling of elation. These benefits combined have been shown to greatly improve sleep after a long and stressful day, as well as improve recovery after exercise.

The Aurora is one of Klafs’ most elegant and stylish sauna designs, with two-sided glass panelling that helps this wellness system seamlessly integrate with your space, and strike like a piece of fine art. The three-dimensional ceiling lighting system and textured walnut structure and furnishings make bathing in the sauna a totally immersive and homely experience.

This sauna can be tailored to suit whichever space it belongs in your home renovation. With options for walnut or hemlock wood structure, custom cushions and floating furnishings, your Aurora sauna will surely become your new favourite space.

Hombre Steam Room

Thought to have originated in Russia, the steam room imparts similar benefits to the sauna, though using lower temperatures and saturated humidity. From the far east of Turkey to the baths of ancient Rome, geothermal springs were tapped to create steam rooms that have been used for relaxation and therapy for millennia. Today, steam rooms can be compact and sophisticated, featuring adjustable steam generators that can produce varied bathing temperatures.

The physical effects of the steam room are quite similar to those of the sauna: Increased circulation, pain relief in muscles and joints as well as overall relaxation. However, the humid air of steam rooms gives them the added benefit of relieving respiratory disorders as well as the symptoms of rheumatism. The humidity of the steam room also reduces the need for sweating to regulate the bodies temperature and as such, steam baths are claimed to be more calming and relaxing than saunas.

Klafs’ Hombre Steam Room is the ideal fit-out for a complete therapeutic steam bath experience. Its stone surfaces are cool to the touch, lightweight and completely waterproof, which grants it the structural flexibility to be implemented in almost any setting. The Hombre also features a customisable ceiling light display to completely immerse the user in a relaxing and engaging experience.

The steam generator in the Hombre can also be equipped with a diffuser, to which essential oils, scents and other aromatherapy products can be added to treat a range of conditions and soothe the soul.

InfraPLUS Infrared Therapy Attachment

One of Klafs’ newest therapeutic systems, the InfraPLUS, is a C-infrared array that can be fitted into existing saunas. C-infrared rays have been the subject of a surprising number of medical studies over the last few decades, and have been clinically reported to assist in skin healing, improve cardiac health. and provide therapy and relief for chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

While Klafs has designed specialised infrared saunas for some time, the attachable InfraPLUS is a remarkably intuitive development that can be installed seamlessly into almost any sauna. The InfraPLUS itself is a shielded ceramic array that generates radiant energy to be directed into the users back as they sit against the soft wooden backrest. This system also has the added benefit of being less energy-intensive than in-built infrared arrays, as it delivers a higher concentration of C-infrared light closer to the user’s body.

Whether you prefer the dry, intense heat of the sauna or the mellow humidity of the steam room, Klafs has a custom design option that would make the perfect addition to your home wellness system. With a huge array of materials and styles to choose from, your Klafs system at home is sure to look great and make you feel even better.
