Aqualine are now able to offer a huge range of ‘off the shelf’ modular steam rooms from Finland’s finest sauna and steam experts Harvia. These steam rooms come in various shapes and sizes and are pre-cut ready to be easily installed. Each steam room in the Harvia modular Steam Room range is made from 60mm Extruded Polystyrene boards (XPS). These boards are not only waterproof themselves but have a polymer concrete layer on each side for added strength and durability.
Not all steam rooms were created equal. Some of our competitors over complicate and under engineer their steam rooms by using a wooden frame and 20mm XPS boards, which whilst saving themselves money, also leaves their customers with a poorly insulated, less durable steam room which requires a lot more electricity to heat. Don’t compromise on quality, stick with tried and tested Harvia Modular

Why do New Year’s resolutions always have to be something of a chore? Surely there must be a better way of improving our health and wellbeing?
Typically, we give up on our New Year’s resolutions far too early and find ourselves slightly less healthy and feeling less motivated each time the 1st of January appears on our calendars.
I’m speaking from experience here; last year I gave up caffeine for a week. The year before that I dragged myself into the drizzling darkness for a run along the canal at least twice before calling it a day.
This year I’m more determined than ever to improve my health and wellbeing, but I know myself, it has to be something I actually want to do if I’m going to make it a successful endeavour.
I started my new career at Aqualine in December and I was amazed to quickly discover how beneficial regular Infrared Sauna use can be for your health and wellbeing. I had no idea that Infrared

Acid damage to sauna hinges has been a problem in leisure facilities for some time. Many hotels, spas and gyms have saunas installed and most opt for full glass doors. While asthetically pleasing there’s always been one small draw back, acid. The acid in the environment often attacks the sauna hinges be it from cleaning products or chemicals in the atmosphere. The acid attacks the protective coating and it beings to peel away, leaving rusty and unattractive looking spots.
To combat this Harvia have been hard at work producing new hinges that are acid proof. The new hinges are available for all glass doors and are recommended for locations, where chloride and/or strong cleaning chemicals are used. Colour options are chrome and white.

Home Sauna Build: Frame, Wiring And Insulation
Following the plans you’ve made, measure and mark rough dimensions for the wall base plate.
Frame:
The stud frame for each sauna wall can be constructed outside the sauna and then moved into place if the sauna is to be smaller than the space where it will be installed. You need to build the sauna walls allowing for air intake and exhaust vents, the opening for the sauna door and if you have planned for any windows then you’ll need to account for these too.
Once the stud frame is complete the sections can be raised and attached to the walls or floor with the correct anchor bolts or nails. Next add the frame for the ceiling.
Electrics:
Once the stud frame is in place the next consideration is the electrical requirements.
You will need to hire an electrician to install the electrical circuits for

Planning your build is the definitely the most important aspect, get it wrong here and you could be in for a frustrating or expensive experience.
Tools:
The basic tools you will need for this DIY job include: a hammer, saw, spirit level, measuring tape, sanding block, chisel, screwdriver, stapler, pliers, nail punch, circular saw, and an electric drill. It is possible to order a sauna kit pre-cut to your specification if you don’t have access to the necessary tools.
Location:
Don’t feel that you’re restricted with the choice of location for your sauna, many people have saunas outdoors as well as inside. Building an outdoor sauna come at a higher cost when you include the cost of running electrical wiring to the sauna site as well as the added expense of building a suitable base. With an outdoor sauna, you must also make sure there are no local by-laws in your
