Barrel Saunas

Enjoy the highest level of comfort hand in hand with a compact design.

Experience a traditional barrel sauna experience where between your sauna rounds you enjoy a drink in your barrel sauna terrace with two exterior benches. Create your own spa sanctuary.

Why is a Barrel Sauna so effective?

A barrel sauna is effective due to a number of factors including:

Heats quickly

With less unused space (imagine a circle inside a square), the barrel design lets the heater do its job faster and more efficiently.

Distributes heat

In a square sauna, the heat gets trapped at the ceiling. In a barrel sauna, the heat is pushed back down the curved sides and into the sauna as new heat rises from the heater.

Saves energy

Because there is less unused airspace to heat, less energy is required to heat the room. The thick staves are excellent insulators, and the exterior of the sauna will remain cool to the touch.

Accommodates temperature flux

The ball-and-socket assembly of a barrel sauna lets the wood expand and contract within the steel bands, creating a tight seal that won’t shatter.

Structurally sound

Built with solid wood staves, the structural integrity of a barrel sauna withstands even the harshest outdoor environment. The notched staves create a tight, secure fit that will last a lifetime without the excessive use of fasteners.

Remarkably comfortable

Sit opposite another sauna bather with your back nicely cradled in the curvature of the sauna wall with enough room for your neck to remain straight.

Requires no maintenance

Barrel saunas naturally shed water and, due to their structural integrity, can handle a substantial snow load. The polymer support cradles let you put the barrel on any flat surface, and the Thermo wood is naturally resistant to water and insects.

Beautiful feature

Specifically designed for outdoor use, a barrel sauna is a beautiful backdrop in your landscaping.

Heating your Sauna

There are two options for heating for each sauna including an electric heater and a wood burning stove. We recommend using Narvi for both heating options. All Narvi products are Key flag products, meaning they are designed and made in Finland.

Wood burning stove

The Narvi NC 16 wood burning stove is distinguished by its simple and timeless design. The large volume of the stones and the durable construction ensure an aesthetically pleasing design. Despite its impressive size, the stove does not need a lot of firewood to heat up.

The fire chamber has a novel form that ensures a more efficient and cleaner combustion. The fire chamber was designed to be environmentally friendly and even to make sure that the stove complies compulsory CE marking requirements.

The stove casing is painted in black and it has a matching cast iron glass door also in black, a black frontal panel of the ash box and a steel frame around the stones section.

The stove has adjustable feet for effortless and proper installation. The stove comes with a pipe for rear connection to the chimney. The chimney connection can also be implemented from the top of the stove but for this you will need a separate connection pipe.

Narvi NS900 heater

This is an electrical sauna heater and has been designed for easy usage and durability. The sauna heater has been manufactured with high quality materials. It is available in black.

The diameter of a heating element of electrical heaters made by NARVI is exceptionally big (8.5 mm). This extends the lifetime usage of a heating element and significantly reduces the risk of overheating.

Narvi Smooth heater

The large Narvi Smooth is a completely new electrical tower heater by Narvi. The stylish design, easy installation and the soft “löyly” (the name for the evaporating hot steam that rises from the stove after water has been carefully thrown on top of them) makes this an excellent choice.

The great stone capacity provides a pleasant sauna experience and it can be installed in the corner to save space.

Technically the Smooth is slightly different from other Narvi models as it is easier to place and change the sauna stones. Narvi Smooth comes with an external control unit which is easy to use.
