Tradition meets modernity with hybrid saunas

Tradition meets modernity with hybrid saunas

If you have to choose between technology and tradition, which do you pick? Your answer to that question probably depends on the situation. No matter what you pick, however, you probably wish you had the best of both. Now, with saunas, you can because Steam Shower Store has just launched an innovative new range of hybrid saunas.

The growth of sauna culture in the UK

 According to Andrew Ellis, founder and CEO of Steam Shower Store, before the pandemic, home saunas were a very niche interest. That interest level was growing but very slowly. When COVID19 struck, however, Steam Shower Store received a massive uplift in sauna-related traffic.

 Mr Ellis initially dismissed this as pandemic boredom. To his surprise, however, sales of saunas did begin to grow at a noticeably faster rate than before. What’s more, sales remained at relatively high levels even after the UK began to reopen. In hindsight, Mr Ellis now believes that the lockdown encouraged people to research ways to manage their health and wellness at home. This led them to learn about saunas.

 He explains “The UK doesn’t yet have a sauna culture the way other countries do (Finland for example). What it does have is a strong growing interest in health and wellness. It also has a willingness to use both traditional approaches and new technology. Some people prefer one or the other. Many people, however, want the option to use either or both. That’s exactly what hybrid saunas deliver.”.

The benefits of traditional saunas

A traditional sauna is a combination of two different treatments. These are heat and steam. Both relax the mind while stimulating the body. Stimulating the body means that nutrients and oxygen are delivered faster. It also means that waste and toxins are removed more quickly. The steam delivers an extra-deep cleanse. It literally gets right into the body, even into the tiny crevices in the lungs.

Steam is such an amazing cleanser that it’s widely regarded as a key part of any serious beauty routine. People with enough space invest in traditional saunas, steam showers or steam generators. People who don’t buy steam facial cleansers. People who don’t even like steam put up with it for the beauty benefits it offers.

The benefits of infrared saunas

On the other hand, people who aren’t so serious about beauty may not be so sold on the benefits of steam. More accurately, they may not see it as being worth the discomfort it causes them. Used properly, steam is perfectly safe but some people find it just doesn’t work for them mentally.

Up until recently, these people were excluded from the sauna experience. Then modern, infra-red saunas arrived on the scene. These are pure heat, with no steam. They quickly developed a following amongst people who appreciated saunas but didn’t like them.

Why hybrid saunas give you the best of both worlds

Hybrid saunas have both fuel or electric heaters to create steam and infrared, dry, heaters. This means they can work as traditional or modern saunas. They are therefore ideal for modern homes. In fact, Andrew Ellis believes that hybrid saunas are very much the way forward in the UK.

Mr Ellis goes on “Traditional wet saunas and modern infrared saunas do share common benefits. For example, they’re great for mental and physical relaxation. At the same time, there are also clear differences between them.

For example, if you have a respiratory condition, then a wet sauna is likely to be more beneficial than an infrared one. By contrast, if you have a joint condition, then an infrared sauna may give better pain relief.

Now you don’t have to guess what is going to be right for you and your family and friends. You can buy a hybrid sauna and have everything you need and want in one compact unit.”.
