We view sauna accessories as the essential elements that turn a heated room into a complete, comfortable environment. Beyond aesthetics, these components directly affect airflow, safety, and hygiene. We curated this collection to include everything from essential vents and stones to comfort upgrades like headrests and aromatherapy. Whether we are building from scratch or refreshing an existing setup, our goal is to help regulate heat, manage moisture, and support relaxation session after session.
- Airflow & Safety: Proper vents and handles are critical for maintaining healthy oxygen levels and ensuring safe entry/exit in high heat.
- Comfort & Ergonomics: We recommend pillows, headrests, and backrests to reduce pressure points during longer sessions.
- Steam Quality: The correct stones and ladles directly influence how water vaporizes and whether the steam feels soft or intense.
- Hygiene & Maintenance: Specialized cleaners and wood oils extend the life of benches and protect against moisture damage.
- Sensory Experience: We offer aromas and lighting options to enhance relaxation without overpowering the small space.
Frequently Asked Questions for Sauna Accessories
Accessory questions typically revolve around safety, comfort, and maintenance. We have compiled these answers based on professional best practices to keep your sanctuary functioning correctly.
What accessories do you need for a sauna?
Core essentials include a bucket and ladle for steam, a thermometer and hygrometer to monitor conditions, and towels or bench covers for hygiene. We highly recommend comfort items like headrests for longer sessions.
What accessories and controls are required for DROP 6?
The HUUM DROP 6 heater requires a compatible UKU control console and specific rounded stones. We also recommend installing a safety rail to prevent accidental contact with the hot heater surface.
Why should we use a thermometer and hygrometer inside the sauna?
They allow us to monitor temperature and humidity to ensure sessions stay within safe limits. They also help consistently replicate the preferred bathing environment.
Should we oil the wood in our sauna?
Yes. We suggest applying specialized paraffin oil to clean, dry benches to create a barrier against moisture and perspiration, preventing the wood from cracking or staining over time.
Can we use essential oils in our sauna?
Yes, but we must dilute them in a water bucket first. Pouring undiluted essential oils directly onto hot heater stones is a fire hazard and can damage the heating elements.
How do we keep our sauna benches clean?
We suggest using towels during sessions to catch sweat. Wipe benches regularly with a mild sauna cleaner or diluted vinegar, and always leave the door and vents open after use to let the wood dry completely.
Do we need a sauna timer?
We highly recommend one for safety. A sand timer or digital clock helps track exposure time to prevent overheating or dehydration, especially during high-heat cycles.
What is the best material for a sauna bucket and ladle?
Stainless steel or aluminum with wooden handles offer the best durability and hygiene. Traditional all-wood buckets look great but require careful drying to prevent cracking or leaking.
How often should sauna rocks be replaced?
We recommend inspecting them annually. Remove crumbled bits and re-stack loosely to ensure airflow. In residential use, replace the stones every 1 to 2 years to maintain efficient heat transfer.
Are there specialized lighting accessories for saunas?
Yes. We offer vapor-proof LED systems and traditional wooden-shaded lamps designed specifically for the high-heat, high-moisture environment of a sauna to ensure both safety and a relaxing ambiance.
