Mobile sauna: What can the small sweat rooms do for the living room?

My car. My house. My sauna. The dream of owning a home haunts many people’s minds in times of low interest rates. And with him often two little dreams that can ensure warm feet and a good mood, especially in the gray and cold autumn: a fireplace and your own sauna. Well, not everyone is lucky (and money) to make those dreams come true. If you still want to sweat a bit at home and relax from the stress of everyday life, you can do that. There is even a place for a mobile sauna in smaller rental apartments. You can find out which models are available and what should be considered when sweating in the living room in the following article.

First of all, you should know that a mobile sweat room has nothing to do with a classic Finnish sauna. As a rule, these are steam sauna tents or infrared cabins in which an evaporator heats the air to a maximum temperature of 50 degrees. As a rule, this is enough to open the pores a little, rinse out excess sebum, care for stressed skin and just relax a little.

Mobile sauna: how does it actually work?

Classic Finnish saunas are usually closed wooden cabins and are operated via an (electric) sauna heater. It first brings the sauna stones up to temperature and later the sauna users sweat. 90 degrees and more are common in Finnish saunas. In mobile saunas, instead of a stove, a so-called steam generator with a water tank provides pleasant warmth. Many operators of classic saunas also offer this in a somewhat larger form. The generator for the home sauna first heats the water. The resulting water vapor is fed into the mobile sauna cabin via a hose, where it provides a moist, cozy warmth and a real steam sauna atmosphere. Since the cabins are equipped with openings for the head and hands for safety reasons, the water vapor and thus also the heat can escape permanently despite the good insulation. This is the main reason why mobile saunas reach a maximum of 50 degrees.
