Saunas

Choosing the right sauna heater can be a confusing business. First, you have to think about how much heat you need to produce to get your sauna up to temperature, consider how the heater will fit into the space available, and pick a heater that compliments the interior design of your sauna.
With the help of our expert advice, you will find it easy to get over these initial hurdles and we can then help you think about what else you can do to make the most of your new sauna.
For example, a 'Combi' sauna heater gives you much more functionality, it has a built in steamer unit separate from the main sauna heater which allows you to accurately adjust the amount of steam and humidity in the room and introduce fragrance and aromas to enhance your sauna experience.
If you are torn between buying a sauna or a steam room, this may be the perfect compromise to get the best of both worlds! Combi heaters can act as a traditional Finnish sauna, steam sauna, Herbal sauna or

We've been doing some belated spring cleaning here at Aqualine and we've found a few saunas hiding at the back of the warehouse.
Some of these saunas are pre-loved and some of them have some minor damage to the packaging but we're sure they are all fundamentally sound.
We carry spare parts for our whole range so if any issues are identified by the buyer, we can quickly dispatch spare parts with no additional charge.
So why not take a look at our new Aqualine clearance page and see if we have something for you!

This is probably the most frequent question we get asked here at Aqualine, Traditional or Infrared Saunas, which is best?
The answer to this depends on why you are thinking of purchasing a sauna in the first place and how you intend to use it as part of your routine.
Infrared Saunas heat the cabin very differently to traditional saunas and use less electricity. In a Traditional sauna, a large ‘focal point’ heater super-charges the air with convected heat from the sauna stones which you then douse with water, creating a relaxing steam sauna environment. In comparison, Infrared Sauna heaters are evenly spaced all around the sauna cab

Why do New Year’s resolutions always have to be something of a chore? Surely there must be a better way of improving our health and wellbeing?
Typically, we give up on our New Year’s resolutions far too early and find ourselves slightly less healthy and feeling less motivated each time the 1st of January appears on our calendars.
I’m speaking from experience here; last year I gave up caffeine for a week. The year before that I dragged myself into the drizzling darkness for a run along the canal at least twice before calling it a day.
This year I’m more determined than ever to improve my health and wellbeing, but I know myself, it has to be something I actually want to do if I’m going to make it a successful endeavour.
I started my new career at Aqualine in December and I was amazed to quickly discover how beneficial regular Infrared Sauna use can be for your health and wellbeing. I had no idea that Infrared Saunas ca

Home Sauna Build: Frame, Wiring And Insulation
Following the plans you’ve made, measure and mark rough dimensions for the wall base plate.
Frame:
The stud frame for each sauna wall can be constructed outside the sauna and then moved into place if the sauna is to be smaller than the space where it will be installed. You need to build the sauna walls allowing for air intake and exhaust vents, the opening for the sauna door and if you have planned for any windows then you’ll need to account for these too.
Once the stud frame is complete the sections can be raised and attached to the walls or floor with the correct anchor bolts or nails. Next add the frame for the ceiling.
Electrics:
Once the stud frame is in place the next consideration is the electrical requirements.
You will need to hire an electrician to install the electrical circuits for

With awareness of wellness and health growing in popularity over recent years many people are looking for ways that they can incorporate a wellness facility, such as a sauna, into their home.
If an off the shelf solution will suffice then you’re all set but what if you require something more original? Bespoke saunas can be expensive but if you possess the skills to build a sauna yourself it can be a more cost effect and rewarding solution.
If you’re quite handy when it comes to DIY then you might find you already have the skill set needed. Building a sauna or converting a room into one might seem like a daunting experience but it’s easier than you think.
To assist those interested in such a project we’re putting together a guide that will be released on a monthly basis and cover all aspects from the planning to the finished product.
This specific guide will focus on the construction of a traditional sauna rather than one of the infrared saunas. While it is p
