Description

The Secrets of Finnish Sauna Design is Lassi A. Liikkanen's wonderfully illustrated 211-page guide to designing an authentic Finnish sauna, written in English and published in paperback. Whether you are planning a new sauna, renovating an old one or simply dreaming, it presents the collective wisdom of Finnish sauna builders, designers and researchers, answering three questions in turn: what a Finnish sauna is, what you should require from its design, and how to design one in detail. Every aspect of a functional and delightful sauna is covered, from heating and air quality to interior design, with special emphasis on the sauna experience itself. Recent research has associated Finnish sauna bathing with a range of potential health benefits, and the book makes the case that a proper Finnish sauna is the place to enjoy them.
