It has drastically reduced the cost of installing a steamroom in your bathroom or excercise room. The Tylo Steamroom enclosures are easier to install and more efficient than their framed counterparts by virtue of their design. Although the steamroom enclosure must be non-porous and steamtight, the opposite is true of a sauna room. Many varieties of wood are acceptable for sauna construction, but care must be taken when selecting the type and grade. Whether it's dry heat or clouds of steam, the choice is yours and it is only a matter of taste and lifestyle.
All saunas have a radiant air heater with volcanic stones.
But, because the humidity is only a few percent, and the bather's perspiration evaporates quickly, these high temperatures are tolerable. Although the temperature inside the sauna may even drop slightly, the humidity climbs to 20 or 30 percent, and the effect of the heat intensifies drastically. The traditional Scandinavian practice is to begin with a dry sauna followed by a period of rest outside the sauna. The bather then reenters the sauna, this time with a ladle and a wooden bucket filled with water. Showers are taken before and after the bath.
