Research from the University of Eastern Finland has indicated that men who regulary use a sauna, particulary those who are middle-aged have a 50% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease as those who do not. This was shown to be the case in men who only had a single sauna session a week.
Regular daily sessions appear to lower the risk of death by any cause by as much as 40%. The longer the amount of time spent in the sauna was shown to enhance health benefits with more than 20% offering the most protection.
The research followed 2,315 men aged 42 to 60 from eastern Finland over approximately 21 years and compared the death rates between those individuals who visited a sauna once a week and those with more frequent use.
During the follow-up period the researchers recorded 190 sudden cardiac deaths, 281 fatal cases of coronary heart disease, 407 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 929 deaths from ‘all causes’.

Harvia Smartfold – The Transformable Bathroom Sauna
Take over extra bathroom space or use the saved space for other rooms and facilities! The new transformable Harvia SmartFold takes up floor space only when it is in use. The folding mechanism is easy to use and a safety device makes sure that the heater will not switch on unintentionally. The sauna is stylish also when folded.
Harvia SmartFold helps sauna bathers in different stages of life. A young family appreciates the extra space needed for everyday life, but also persons with reduced mobility have been considered. The sauna is accessible in a wheelchair when the sauna benches are up, or only the lower bench can be unfolded to avoid climbing. The heating elements in the specially designed heater have been placed as low as possible to enable enjoyable heat also on the lower bench level.

Harvia are introducing an LED light strip that can be used in all their saunas.
The LED light strip (WX440) is a stylish and easy way to provide light in the sauna room. Typically, the light strip is placed in a groove in bench or backrest, but its flexible silicone casing enables more imaginative applications as well. The light diodes are placed so that the light is directed to the narrow edge of the silicone casing. Unlike single LEDs or fiber lighting, Harvia’s light strip gives an even and smooth light. The light strip can even be shortened by cutting.
The delivery includes everything that is needed inside the sauna:
- the LED light strip
- a transformator

What is emissivity?
Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit or absorb energy. Perfect emitters have an emissivity of 1, emitting 100% of incident energy. An object with an emissivity of 0.8 will absorb 80% and reflect 20% of the incident energy. Emissivity may vary with temperature and spectral response (wavelength). The hotter an object is, the more active its molecules are, and the more infrared energy it emits.
As ceramic infrared heaters are smaller than carbon panel heaters, they produce much more heat per square inch of heating surface, therefore providing more valuable infrared heat.
What’s really important is intensity
Far infrared heaters do not differ in the type of infrared they produce but do differ in the amount of infrared that they produce. Infrared heaters are made with different qualities of carbon and ceramic materials and with different manufacturing processes. There are cheaply made, poor performing heaters and there are high q
