There
are many accessories for saunas and hot tubs, which are on
the market, thus below we try and highlight some of the main
things you may want to buy for your sauna.
Ladles and Buckets
One of the first accessories I would suggest buying for
your home sauna are a couple of ladles and a bucket.
These
items are cheap but extremely useful, when you need to add
some water to the sauna. I would not personally worry too
much about any brand name considering the basic use of these
items. The Sauna
Shop is one good place for buying these items if
buying online. You can expect to pay about £20 ($35)
for a wooden bucket and £10 ($15) for a wooden ladle.
Sauna instruments
There are some instruments that you should consider buying
for your sauna, to make your wellness and relaxation experience
a fuller one. Consider buying a thermometer for your sauna;
a sauna clock and a sauna egg-timer. All of these instruments
are fairly cheap but extremely useful. These items are quite
cheap. Expect for example to pay about £10 ($15) for
an egg-timer, about £30 ($45) for a thermometer and
about the same amount for a sauna clock.
Sauna Lighting
Sauna lighting can make a huge difference to your sauna experience
for many reasons. First of all, it is safer to be in a sauna
which is correctly lit: You don't want to be walking into
the heater for example.
If you were to slip or trip in a sauna it could be quite dangerous.
Good lighting can also add to the mood of the experience,
with lights available which create multi-coloured lighting,
textured lighting etc. Sauna lighting prices can vary greatly
thus for a home sauna you may wish to stick with simply lighting.
Sauna Doors
It may seem odd, but doors can make quite a bit of difference
to your sauna experience, thus you may want to consider what
type of door you want. Door quality can vary quite a lot,
with sauna doors often experiencing a lot of stress, because
the doors are opened frequently and because the hinges
etc must be okay for the heat and humidity on the inside.
It is also necessary to have a door handle which is firm and
simple to use, and which is unaffected by extreme heat.
You also need to consider the experience in terms of light.
What i mean by this is that it can be very nice to have a
window in the door, so that you can look out sometimes. Similarly,
the door itself should perhaps look nice and wood doors often
give this effect. The door should also fit well, so that not
too much heat is lost.
Soap stones, towels, scents, stones, and essences.
There
are several more accessories you can choose to purchase for
your home sauna. Some of these include a nice soapstone, special
towels and robes, scents to put in your sauna, different types
of stones for the sauna heater; and also different essences.
