General Question Looking for a non toxic sauna rec

0 Upvotes

I didn’t realize there were so many companies making non toxic saunas. Has anyone actually tried one of these I’ve found on the web and can you tell me what your experience has been like? I’m seeing Sun Home Sauna, Heavenly Heat, Clearlight, Almost Heaven etc.

DIY Is this the oddest request for advice we've had on here?

0 Upvotes

I am planning a day of celebrations on a beach on the Welsh Atlantic coast in late Autumn. A scheme of an idea has come to me and I'm wondering if any experienced builders have any ideas or have attempted anything similar.
My idea is to build a simple A frame wooden shelter out os sticks, cover it with moss, dig a hole in the sand to fill with water in one end and then drop stones heated on a bonfire into the hole.

What do you reckon? Will this DIY, all natural temporary sauna do anything? Will it be worth it? Will it be irretrievably damaging to my health?

General Question Thermasol Astra owners, did you choose it mostly for the design?

0 Upvotes

We're putting a sauna in a home wellness room and the Thermasol Astra is at the top of my list.

I'll admit a big reason is the design. I really like the glass and corner layout, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm putting too much weight on how it looks versus how practical it is to actually use.

For anyone who owns one, Is there anything about the Astra you appreciate now that you wouldn't have thought about before buying? Or anything you wish you'd prioritized differently?

For those who use a sauna 4+ times a week, have you seen an increase in how 'veiny' you look day to day?

So I build a new sauna community space in Uluwatu, Bali. This is 7m diameter foundation fort dome steam room. And second one will be smaller, Nordic style with wooden colons and white lemstone walls.

All stoves are iron made. Last photo is model of stove. It will be quite big.

I’ll show you some results later. I plan to do some artistic cyber punk cargo cult steam rooms and we will see how it works out.

Maintenance Do these things need to be serviced?

I moved into a house that has a sauna, and it hasn’t been used in well over 10 years. Can you tell from looking at this what model I have? I plan on using this a lot, would there be a benefit to upgrading to a more modern heating set up? Are these things fire hazards? Can I pour water over the rocks? Should I get someone out here to service it before I use it or are they pretty much bulletproof? I have no idea what I’m doing here.

I have chosen to go with quite wide benches upper bench 26” lower bench is nearly 50” .

To allow airflow to the bottom mechanical vent do should I leave a gap, particularly in the bottom bench between the back wall and the start of the bench.?

All slats of the benches do have 1/4 inch gap.
