Finnish Handcraft

IKI-Kiuas has been providing Finnish craftmanship for sauna enthusiasts since the mid-nineties. Their electric and wood burning heaters with stainless steel mesh frames and substantial stone capacities are hand crafted in Pieksämäki, Finland by dedicated sauna heater craftsmen that have over 40 years’ experience in welding black iron and stainless steel. IKI Kiuas continuously maintains a steadfast focus on detail to provide the best possible löyly experience.

About IKI Kiuas

IKI Kiuas produced their first wood burning heater in 1996, soon after which the company IKI Kiuas Ltd. was established in 1997. The humid and soft steam characteristic of the IKI stoves is created through the large stone capacity of the electric and wood burning sauna heaters. The significant number of stones encased in a stainless-steel mesh also allows a pleasant and long-lasting steam experience with a relatively short heat up time of approximately an hour, even in the case of their larger wood burning sauna heaters.

Oxygen-Rich Steam and Durability

IKI heaters are known for their humid, soft and oxygenated steam or “löyly”, when pouring water onto the stones. A pleasant sauna experience can be achieved in any type of sauna with the right IKI heater whether large or small, commercial or domestic, wood burning or electric. The range of IKI heaters will guarantee a memorable sauna and löyly experience. IKI Kiuas is the leading manufacturer when it comes to open structured sauna heaters. IKI was the first company to manufacture sauna heaters where the stones are visible, allowing to have water thrown not only onto the top of the heater but also to the sides of the heater body.

The simplistic and durable design of IKI electric sauna heaters and wood burning stoves with huge stone capacities, encased in a mesh frame allow air to circulate freely inside the heater. This, in turn, generates oxygen rich sauna sessions. The round shape of IKI heaters eliminate premature rusting, as thermal expansion won’t cause as much stress to the metal in the heaters. The wood burning and electric heaters by IKI are durable and will last for many years if well maintained.

Energy Efficient

IKI sauna heaters are well suited for commercial saunas. Because of the large quantity of stones in the heaters, the power can be switched off every now and then between sessions. The transfer of heat from the stones is slow, allowing the sauna to maintain a higher temperature, even once the heater has been switched off.

IKI Kiuas has a selection of electric- and wood burning heaters, which you can browse below.

Electric IKI Sauna Heaters

The IKI electric sauna heaters provide a similar, enjoyable humid and soft steam equivalent to the more traditional wood-burning stoves. The electric sauna heaters have uniquely designed U-shaped elements that are covered with stones all round. This allows for sufficient airflow and a thorough heating of the stones.

The simplistic yet stylish electric sauna heaters are manufactured in Finland, hand-made from stainless steel and other high-quality materials that meet the demanding industry standards.

Wood-Burning IKI Sauna Heaters

Finnish high-quality craftmanship, stainless steel mesh frame and industrial strength steel pipe guarantee the durability and safety of the IKI wood burning stoves.

Efficient air flow and large contact area between the stones, the furnace and the fire place pipe allow the mass of stones to become fully heated efficiently.

Practical details make IKI wood burning stoves easy and pleasant to use. The spaciousness of the furnace allows you to load the stove with large quantities of firewood at one go.

The IKI wood burning stoves are amongst the cleanest burning on the market. The furnace is well ventilated, which in turn requires less wood for heating the stove. The results for the most popular model in the IKI range, the Original IKI, is 0.10%. The limit set for sauna stoves in Finland is 1%.
