How do you choose the right wood-burning heater?

A wood-burning heater is the heart of a sauna and offers a beautiful adornment for the sauna in addition to atmosphere-creating steam. When choosing a heater you need to consider the size of the sauna as well as the materials within the sauna. A good rule of thumb is to think that 1 kW of heating power is required per cubic meter of the sauna, and the need for power increases when the sauna has glass surfaces or surfaces that store heat. When choosing a wood-burning heater you should consider the size of the sauna room as well as your sauna preferences and the heater's intended use and location. Is there running warm water available for the sauna or is a heater with a water tank needed for warm washing water? The location of the heater is determined by its installation method and the protective distances in the sauna. It's possible to reduce the protective distances with the help of separately-sold protective wall panels for the heater.
