The Best Sauna Accessory for Your Home Sauna
Once you have your sauna built you might want to add some
accessories to make your experience more enjoyable. The most essential and
best sauna accessory items are the bucket and ladle and a good
thermometer. There are standard and specialized accessories that include
hygrometers, hourglass sand timers, humidifiers, headrests, aromatherapy
essential oils, circulation fans and other items.
If you own a traditional hot rock sauna
room heater you will definitely need a sauna bucket and ladle. Most
manufacturers include these when you purchase your home sauna.
Precut sauna kits and material packages
for pre-built modular saunas may
or may not include the bucket, ladle and thermometer, depending on the
manufacturer. Sometimes the best accessory items are available from
suppliers specializing in authentic Finnish saunas.
The bucket and ladle are the best method to add humidity to a traditional
Finnish sauna. Once the rocks on top of the stove are hot, bathers start
ladling water over the heated rocks to produce wafts of steam. This
increases the humidity and the temperature inside the sauna. Accessories
such as an optional humidifier consist of a steel tube filled with water
which is placed in between the heater elements. This accessory will replace
buckets and ladles as it adds moisture to the room automatically.
Besides essential sauna accessory items such as the traditional bucket and
ladle you can get an aromatic dispenser that hangs from a chain above the
heater and drips aromatherapy oils onto the hot rocks for a very fragrant
scent. Some of the best oils are eucalyptus, lemon and lavender oils. Have a
look at some of the accessories available for
indoor and outdoor family saunas
from the manufacturers listed in our sauna
buying guide.
