Previously, the most common practice was to place your sauna directly on the ground. Even if you weren’t to use any water in your “dry sauna” (it’s no sauna to begin with if your…
Whether you’ve just been eyeing a wood-burning stove for your home, already have it installed, or both installed and used for a while (and the drywall behind it has gotten super hot!), at some point many of us ask ourselves: what do you put behind a wood stove to protect the wall? The answer is…
Only few of us manage to sauna without needing sauna lights at some point, so what should you do when your sauna moments, literally, take a dark turn? The answer might seem obvious at first: you buy a sauna light fixture, a regular light bulb or LED light, and have the lamp installed on the…
