A Sauna is a
small room or building designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat
sessions. The
Everyone
perspires on a daily basis, however, deep sweating gives the body a myriad of
benefits. This can be achieved through regular sauna bathing. The core body
temperature gradually rises and this make it to sweat more than just the normal
perspiration reaching the inner tissues.
Saunas though
having similarities with steam rooms, it should be noted that where saunas are
mainly based on a dry environment, the steam room is designed to create wetness
or humidity
We can further
classify into two other sub categories; commercial saunas and domestic Saunas. Commercial saunas are mainly installed in
commercial public places like Gyms, Public baths, health resorts and hotels.
Domestic saunas are in private homes for private uses.
Whereas there
are no much differences between the two, it's important to note that the main
difference is in uses and not design. Both are used for relaxation purposes but
the commercial saunas are used to generate money. They are therefore made in
such a way that though not impossible to find one where you can relax alone,
most hold more than just one person at any one given time. They may be of
different genders but it doesn't give the kind of privacy that domestic or home
saunas can give.
The other
difference is the fact that whereby there are professionals guiding through
what is required in order to give maximum experience with saunas in commercial
establishments, this is not always the case with a home Sauna. This can
therefore bring deficiency in Sauna experience hence it may not serve quality
intended purpose. This has to do with the temperature adjustments, amount of
time spent in the Sauna and perspiration degrees. The state of heath of
individuals also matters.
It's also
expensive to install and run a domestic sauna because it doesn't bring any
monetary yet the amount of electricity used is immense. It may not be expensive
to run the commercial ones since they generate money from customers. Even
installation of the same requires a sizable amount of financial input.
Commercial
Saunas are relatively large compared to the home ones. Domestic saunas only
serve a small amount of users. Mostly family members, relatives and maybe home
staff. This means that even id design, they can be customized or personalized
to fit the family's or a single person's taste. It would be unreasonable on the
other hand to have a small sauna or steam
room in a commercial setup since there may be many users at a single time.
Customization of the same is kept at a general and professional level since it
serves a varied class and type of clients.
