IKI-Kiuas – Royalty of sauna heaters
The superiority of IKI-Kiuas products is based on the
great amount of stones they hold, which guarantees unforgettable and oxygen
rich bathing experience with a short heating time. The stones heat up
in 1 - 1,5 hours because the contact surface of the resistors is large
and the air circulates freely between the stones, thanks to the round
shape of the heater. This guarantees soft and strong heat even for the
lower benches.
The basic idea behind the IKI electric heaters and wood burning stoves
is the same: when the stones have been heated the temperature in the sauna
stays in an enjoyable 50-70 degrees Celsius. By throwing water on the
heater the humidity and temperature of the sauna is increased into ideal
bathing temperature. This way the oxygen does not run out and the sauna
stays enjoyable for a long time.
IKI Electric Heaters
The basic idea behind the IKI electric heaters is the same as in the IKI
wood burning stoves. The stones are heated and the air in the sauna stays
in an enjoyable temperature of 50-70 Celsius. The humidity and temperature
in the sauna is increased by throwing water on the heater in the same
manner as in a traditional smoke sauna.
The resistors in the IKI electric heaters are durable because they are
completely covered by stones. The IKI electric heaters are also well suited
for smaller saunas because of their small safety distances which leave
room for larger sauna benches.
As in the IKI wood burning stoves, the fast heating of the stones is also
possible in the electric IKIs due to the large contact surface of the
resistors as well as the free flow of air.
IKI Wood Burning Stoves
The sturdy stainless steel mesh cover, thick steel pipe and high
quality Finnish metal work guarantee the durability of the IKI stoves.
The secret of the IKI stoves lay in their round shape and large amount
of stones (140-300 kg). The stones heat up to ideal bathing temperature
in about an hour, because the contact surface between the stones, furnace
and fire pipe is large (appx. 1 m2) and the flow of air is free. The functionality
of the IKI stoves is ensured by carefully thought out details such as
their large furnace and upwards opening hatch. This enables the burning
of large and overly long fire wood while heating the sauna. The large
hatch automatically pushes the long wood inwards while it burns. Fire
grate and ash hatch are not needed in the IKI stoves because the burning
residue is clean. The wood consumption is small and the furnace ventilates
well.
IKI-Kiuas Ltd. also manufactures custom made special stoves
by order.
The stoves can be accessorised by a 70 or 100 l hot water cistern.
All of the IKI products are trademarked and model
right protected and 100 % Finnish hand craft.
