predominately women, it makes sense to invest in a steam or aromatherapy room rather than a sauna, which has higher temperatures,” says Gerard McCarthy, sales director at Dalesauna.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ROOMS
“A thermal area should offer a relaxing cycle of alternating hot and cold experiences. Ideally, this should include a minimum of a sauna, a spa bath, a cold shower and a relaxation area. A steam room could be included if space allows,” says Aysegul Sungur, architect and vice president of Promet Spa Wellness. Barry Humphries, sales director
at Topline Electronics – which manufactures the Aachen Wellness range of wellness rooms, suites and accessories – adds: “Sauna and steam
rooms are the basic requirement for any site; after that we would recommend a rasul room (mud treatment room) or some heated tiled loungers.” But where space is limited, it’s worth
considering multi-functional rooms. Dalesauna’s Combi Sauna combines infrared technology with a traditional Finnish sauna to offer two different heat experiences in one. The infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly, while the Finnish sauna relies on a traditional heat source to warm the air in the sauna. “The combination of sauna and
infrared is ideal for health and fi tness facilities. Infrared is great for post- exercise muscle recovery and operators can still offer a traditional relaxing sauna experience. The combination is still
relatively new, so it gives operators a USP too,” says McCarthy. Klafs’ foldaway InfraPLUS seat can be
integrated into its sauna and sanarium cabins to offer a similar combination of sauna and infrared. The heat lamp, which is set into the wall, is fl anked by back rests that can be adjusted by the user to fi nd a comfortable seating position. Meanwhile Klafs’ sanarium offers
fi ve heat experiences in one: a classic sauna, a warm air bath, a tropical bath, an aroma bath and a soft steam bath. Users simply select the climate zone, and the humidity and temperature then adjust accordingly. Other experiences such as salt
inhalation and ice fountains are also increasing in popularity. The Microsalt from Klafs can be installed into a sauna
