Wood Burning Sauna Stoves
Wood-burning stoves create the traditional sauna experience many users prefer. Harvia's stoves feature large stone capacity for authentic steam (löyly), efficient burning chambers, and durable steel construction. The crackling sounds and distinctive aroma create an authentic atmosphere that enhances relaxation during each session.
Selecting Your Sauna Heater
For compact saunas (100-175 cubic feet), a 3kW model provides sufficient heating. Medium saunas (175-250 cubic feet) require 4.5kW heaters, while larger spaces (250-300 cubic feet) need 6kW units. Substantial rooms (300-420 cubic feet) demand 8kW heaters, and extra-large saunas (420-600 cubic feet) require 9kW models. Commercial facilities should choose 12kW heaters or the specialized Harvia Club series.
Popular Harvia Models
The best-selling Harvia KIP series includes the KIP30W (3kW), KIP45W (4.5kW), KIP60W (6kW), and KIP80W (8kW). All feature stainless steel components and built-in controls. The Club heaters provide reinforced elements for commercial settings that withstand constant use, making them ideal for spa facilities and gyms.
