The importance of wood as a natural product can not be valued enough. The choice of timber type depending on its respective quality properties for the best possible use in the sauna determines whether we feel good in a sauna. Equally essential is the mastery in craftmanship in working with this natural product. Because it is the wood in a sauna that has a decisive influence on a pleasant sauna atmosphere.
The guarantee and continuous improvement of sustainable forestry is close to our heart. To ensure this, we use exclusively certified wood which conforms with ecological, social and economic standards.

In addition, the Institut für Holztechnologie Dresden gGmbH (institute of wood technology in Dresden) has awarded the KLAFS real wood veneer panels a certificate which sets out that it contains no formaldehyd and therefore conforms with regulations. The real wood veneer panels also cover the requirements with regards to emissions of VOC substances (Volatile Organic Compounds). |

Equally essential is the mastery in craftmanship in working with this natural product. Because it is the wood in a sauna that has a decisive influence on a pleasant sauna atmosphere. The care with which KLAFS selects and processes the wood for sauna manufacturing has led to the element and solid wood construction series being awarded with the "Blue Angel" - the first company to receive the award in the industry. For more than 30 years, the Blue Angel has certified the environmental quality of products with an independant jury and self-defined criteria. |
Construction and workmanship
Whether you choose a element or solid wood sauna, the quality will always be dependant on the material and workmanship. They determine the sauna climate and the durability. Strong tongue and groove joints as well as mortised and glued frame beams ensure that you enjoy your element sauna for many years. Construction and workmanship lead to great firmness, freedom from warping and excellent tightness in your solid wood sauna. This is what is looks like in detail:

| Our aluminium door frame offers ease of maintainence whilst also preventing any kind of warping. Inner cladding is of wood, offering protection against burns and presenting a real eye-catching feature. | The KLAFS hinge has been subjected to long-term functional testing under harsh environmental conditions before being put into operational use. The sturdy precision mountings can handle more than three million opening cycles and hold the single-pane safety glass of the door leaf securely in place. | Our wall and ceiling connections are tongue and groove joints. A circular beam runs the whole length of the circumference to give the wall and ceiling the best possible degree of stability. Both these elements also ensure that joints are tight and no distortion can occur during construction. | The skirting board is high, offering particularly easy cleaning, providing long-term and effective protection against moisture and extremely long durability. |
the right air flow for the optimum air quality
Intelligent air flow - for the best air quality
Evidence of the importance of the supply of fresh air during sauna bathing comes in the form of research studies and the relaxed faces of your guests. And this is why KLAFS has a perfectly dimensioned ventilation system in place to ensure exchange and conduction of air. Air, sucked in below the heater, is heated and flows into the sauna. Used air leaves through a suitably placed ventilation slit in a wall segement.
