Wellness Benefits

The Nimbus recreates the traditional Finnish ritual — dry radiant heat balanced by bursts of löyly when water is cast over the stones. Regular sessions are associated with muscular relaxation, easier sleep and a calmer mind.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe the timber benches with a damp cloth after use and air the cabin with the door open. Treat interior wood periodically with sauna-specific paraffin oil; never varnish or paint the interior. Re-stack the heater stones and check the heater once a season.
