Frequently Asked Questions
What type of rock are sauna stones made from?
Our sauna stones are natural volcanic basalt. This type of rock forms under extreme heat, giving it exceptional thermal resistance and a naturally porous surface ideal for steam production.
Why are the stones irregular in shape?
The irregular shape is intentional. Natural, unpolished stones have a larger surface area and more pores than smooth or rounded alternatives, which means better water absorption and stronger löyly steam.
How do I stack sauna stones correctly?
Place larger fist-sized stones on the bottom layer to support weight and allow airflow around the heating elements. Stack smaller egg-sized stones on top for increased surface area. Leave a gap of two to three fingers between layers so heat can circulate freely.
How often should I replace my sauna stones?
With regular home use, sauna stones typically last 3 to 5 years. For commercial saunas or heavy daily use, inspect them more frequently and expect to replace sooner. Signs of wear include crumbling, excessive cracking and noticeably reduced steam production.
Can I pour essential oils directly onto the stones?
No. Pouring oils or any liquid other than clean water directly onto sauna stones causes residue buildup that damages both the stones and the heating elements. Use a dedicated aroma bowl or evaporator cup placed on top of the stones instead.
Why is my steam production weaker than it used to be?
The most common cause is carbon and mineral buildup on the stones. Remove them, flip them over and restack with proper spacing. If the stones are visibly cracked or crumbling, it's time for a full replacement.
Can I use any type of rock as a sauna stone?
No. Never use crystalline rocks such as quartz, granite with large crystal structures, or river stones of unknown composition. These can fracture violently under rapid temperature changes and water contact, creating a serious safety risk. Always use stones specifically rated for sauna use.
How much water should I pour on the stones?
A small ladleful at a time is ideal. The goal is to let the water absorb into the pores and flash into steam — not to flood the stones and cool them down. Frequent, small pours produce better löyly than occasional large ones.

About this product

Overview

When water hits stones heated to glowing red, it seeps rapidly into those pores. The intense heat forces the water to expand and burst outward, producing a thick, powerful rush of steam. In Finland, this is called löyly, the soul of the sauna, and it’s what separates a good sauna session from a great one.

Stacking Your Stones

Irregular stones stack casually, but there are two rules worth following:

  • Bottom layer: Use fist-sized stones to support the weight above and allow airflow around the heating elements.
  • Top layer: Place smaller stones, roughly egg-sized, on top. The increased surface area means more contact with water and better steam production.

Leave a gap of two to three fingers between each layer to allow heat to circulate freely. Every six months, remove the stones and flip them over completely. This prevents dust and carbon from building up on the underside, which can reduce heat transfer over time.

Performance

Thanks to their porous structure, these stones can boost steam production by around 40% compared to smooth, non-porous alternatives. Because they absorb and release water quickly, you’ll find yourself adding water more frequently — which is exactly how a traditional Finnish sauna is meant to be used.

Made from natural volcanic basalt, the stones withstand extreme temperatures exceeding 600°C and will typically last 3 to 5 years with regular use before needing replacement.

Before First Use

Soak new stones in water and thoroughly scrub them before loading them into your heater. This removes any dust or debris from shipping and handling.

Important: Never use crystalline rocks such as quartz in your sauna heater. Crystalline stones can fracture violently when exposed to rapid temperature changes and water contact, creating a serious safety hazard.

Warranty

If an electrical item stops working within the warranty period, we’ll send you a replacement free of charge.

Care & Maintenance

Every 6 months, remove all stones from the heater, flip them over and restack. This prevents carbon and mineral deposits accumulating on the underside, which reduces heat transfer over time.
Inspect stones for cracks, crumbling or significant erosion each time you restack. Discard any stones that are breaking apart — fractured stones restrict airflow and reduce heater efficiency.
Rinse stones with clean water during restacking to wash away loose dust and debris.
Check that airflow gaps between stones are maintained after restacking. Stones naturally settle over time, so re-spacing them keeps heat circulating evenly.
Replace the full set of stones every 3 to 5 years depending on usage frequency. Commercial or heavy-use saunas may require replacement sooner.
Only use clean water on your stones. Avoid pouring essential oils, beer or other liquids directly onto sauna stones — these leave residue that accelerates carbon buildup and can damage the heating elements. Use an aroma bowl or evaporator cup instead.

Common questions

Everything you want to know about saunas & heaters

Outdoor and indoor cabins, barrels, cylinders and sauna + shower combos — from a compact one-person unit up to ten-person commercial rooms, all customisable to your space. Browse saunas.

Western Red Cedar and Finnish Thermo Pine both handle heat and humidity beautifully; Hinoki is our premium pick. We’ll match the timber to your budget and location.

Outdoor saunas are fully weather-sealed for gardens, rooftops and pool decks; indoor models are built for bathrooms, gyms and spare rooms. Both use indoor-rated electric heaters.

Most home saunas run on a dedicated single- or three-phase circuit sized to the heater. We’ll confirm the exact electrical requirement in your quote.

Both are food-grade and corrosion-resistant; 316 adds extra protection for coastal and chlorinated environments. We recommend the right grade for your site. See ice baths.

Ice works to get started, but a chiller holds a precise temperature day after day with no effort — the easiest way to make cold therapy a daily habit.

Our chillers take the water down to around 3°C and hold it there. Most people plunge between 3–10°C depending on experience.

A built-in filtration and sanitation cycle keeps the water fresh for weeks. We’ll walk you through simple water care at handover.

We soft-open on 30 July 2026 in Chonburi (with Founding Member pricing) and fully open on 4 September — and booking is open now, so you can reserve a session ahead. Book a visit.

The Garden runs on advance bookings so every session has the space to itself — so book ahead if you can. That said, if you're passing and spot us, scan the sign at the gate or give us a call, and if there's room in the current session we'll happily wave you in.

Saunas, ice baths, a swimming pool and shaded lounge areas — everything you need for the full hot-and-cold circuit. Explore the garden.

The Wellness Garden is in Chonburi, easily reached from Bangkok and Pattaya. Full directions and parking details are on the garden page.

Yes — most saunas assemble in a day with two or three people and clear instructions. Prefer it done for you? Our team can handle the full install. Installation service.

Delivery to the spot, full assembly, levelling, heater fitting and a handover walkthrough so it’s ready to use the same day.

A firm, level base — a concrete pad, deck or paved area — plus a nearby power point. We’ll send a simple prep checklist before delivery.

Final connection should be made by a licensed electrician. We provide the full specification and can recommend trusted local contractors.

Yes — we deliver right across Thailand by freight, and ship internationally on request. Delivery details.

Most saunas are ready six to eight weeks from order. Once built, freight to your address typically takes a few days, with tracking provided.

Standard nationwide delivery is included. For tricky access — rooftops, tight lanes or upper floors — we’ll quote any crane or extra handling up front.

Everything ships in a purpose-built timber crate to protect the timber and glass in transit — and the crate is easy to dispose of or repurpose.
