About the book
As the old Finnish proverb has it: first build the sauna, then the house. Sauna bathing has been part of Nordic life for millennia, and the gentle heat is traditionally valued for relaxation; by gently raising the heart rate and relaxing the muscles, the steam Finns call löyly is widely associated with wellbeing and stress relief. In this practical guide Dr Liikkanen teaches how to plan, build and maintain a new sauna, with detail on insulation, panelling and bench construction, using the examples of an indoor electric sauna and an outdoor sauna cabin with a wood-burning heater.
