Tylö's infra-red sauna – a market now attracting more discerning customers
Steam room seating from Tylö – a cleaner, more sober, elegant fee
A Classic sauna cabin from Tylö – now appealing more to all ages
its Excellent steam rooms and for the integrated wall and moulded seat modules of its Elysée steam rooms to create a cleaner, more sober elegant feel.
Giving both units a facelift to improve functionality and design, the previous anodised aluminium external frame profiles have also been replaced with white high-gloss lacquered profiles. In the Excellent, the lower cover panels on the bench seating have been removed to give the steam room a lighter more open feel, making cleaning easier, whilst in the Elysée the seat module halogen lighting has been replaced with warm-white LED lighting.
Golden Coast, Tylö’s UK Certified Distributor, has a range of saunas that cover all budgets, from the entry level ‘Everyday’ to the top of the range combination sauna-steam-show units in the ‘Impression’ range, all available nationwide. While still meeting the exacting standards set by sauna cabins that can easily cost twice the price, the Everyday provides a perfect solution for the demands of the discerning consumer on a strict budget. Designed to be placed in the corner of a room, all interior and exposed exterior walls are constructed from kiln dried spruce while the benches are produced using knot free Aspen ensuring comfortable seating.
The Everyday package includes a Tylö Sport heater, sauna stones, control panel with thermostat
A stylish, coloured sauna interior from Dalesauna
and mechanical timer, light fitting, bucket, ladle and thermometer/hygrometer. Easy to assemble the package includes simple to follow instructions making it an ideal option for the self builder. Tylö has completed the suite of cabins available within its Impression ‘Home Spas’ range, with the introduction of its Tylö i1713 and i1915/c saunas designed specifically for bathrooms. Both units offer the option of two different sauna heaters to provide traditional sauna bathing and/or the gentler heat of steam bathing to a maximum temperature of 45°C. The complete Tylö Impression ‘Home Spa’ range has 10 units available offering sauna, sauna-steam and sauna-steam-showers from the minimalistic i1309, which only needs 1.3 square metres of floor space yet provides generous space inside for two adults, to the top of the range 1915/c, requiring a floor area of 2.8 sq m yet still has plenty of room to accommodate up to five adults.
Both the Everyday and the Impression saunas join Tylö’s design-led ‘Vision’ range with full length smoke-tinted safety glazed wall panels and rounded bow-front designed for those who enjoy saunas surrounded by light and a sensation of space. Golden Coast recently launched
tylolife.co.uk, an intuitive ‘click-to-view’ website that takes users through an easy-to-use route to full information on the full range of sauna, steam and shower products from Tylö.
SAUNA AND STEAM MARKET ‘STANDS UP ON ITS OWN’
The sauna and steam room market is now less automatically linked to the traditional pool and spa market and can ‘stand up for itself’. Gerry McCarthy from Dalesauna said: “I think once this market went hand in hand with swimming pools and spas. In those days a sauna was a simple wooden box and a steam room a basic plastic structure which almost came in a box. Now the modern market is more sophisticated, led by European standards, with much higher quality tiling and more elaborate specialist heating.” He said the commercial market is still very much interested in the ‘heat experience’. “I think when commercial operations like leisure centres, hotels and health clubs start to look at a sauna or a steam room then it’s a fairly straightforward connection to installing something which is more sophisticated perhaps like an aromatherapy room, an ice room and so on.” Dalesauna‘s business is, apart from the odd multi millionaire’s private project, almost all in the commercial sector.
“Yes there is still a lot of interest in both saunas and steam rooms. A few years ago hotels with spas were looking to offer more to their clients and invested in other projects. Then the economy took more of a hold and I think now hotel chains have to think more seriously about
Themed steam rooms have become a speciality for Dalesauna
