Discover why proper roof insulation is essential in a sauna. Without it, heat escapes quickly, the heater works harder, and the experience becomes less enjoyable. At Hetki, every outdoor Finnish log sauna is handcrafted in Finland with insulated roof structures, ensuring durability, energy efficiency, comfort, and an authentic sauna experience that lasts for years.

In Finnish folklore, the sauna elf – or saunatonttu – guarded the sauna’s warmth and spirit, reminding visitors to behave respectfully. At Hetki we honor this tradition with Aatos, our AI sauna elf who quietly carries the same values of helpfulness and respect into the digital age, guiding you to authentic sauna experiences.

The exterior finish defines how your sauna looks and feels in its surroundings. Hetki saunas are handcrafted from Finnish spruce and treated by hand with breathable, translucent stains. Choose timeless black, natural spruce, or other finishes to reflect your style. Durable, sustainable, and made to age beautifully outdoors.

With Hetki’s guidance, keeping your sauna safe, hygienic, and inviting is easy and rewarding.

Even the floor of a sauna plays a vital role in comfort, safety, and longevity. At Hetki, each floor is handcrafted from Finnish pine, treated with natural oils, and built with proper drainage and ventilation. These details reflect centuries of Finnish sauna tradition, ensuring durability, beauty, and authentic löyly.

Saunas are not just for winter. From the comfort of snowy days to the relaxation of summer evenings, they provide year-round wellness, balance, and joy. Whether cooling off under open skies or enjoying the contrast of heat and cold, a Hetki Sauna is a timeless space for health and togetherness in every season.

How long should you stay in the sauna? Research often suggests 15 to 20 minutes, yet the Finnish way is not about timers or strict rules. Instead it is about listening to your body, finding your rhythm, and enjoying the moment. The beauty of sauna lies in its simplicity and personal nature.

Hetki reaches a milestone as the first saunas head to North America. From the start, it has been our vision to make this market our second home alongside Europe. Going west means opportunity, challenge, and adventure – and with strong partners, we’re ready to build something remarkable together.

The mökki sauna is at the heart of Finnish cottage life. Rooted in tradition, it connects sauna bathing with nature, lakes, and family memories. From rustic wood-heated cabins to modern eco-friendly designs, the mökki sauna embodies relaxation, heritage, and the timeless rhythm of Finnish living.

Spruce enriches life in many ways – from nutrient-rich sprouts and their refreshing flavor, to its strength as a natural building material for rejuvenating log saunas, and its role as the classic Christmas tree. In Finland, spruce is part of daily life and culture, offering health, joy, and timeless connection to nature.

At Hetki, quality begins with Finnish spruce logs. Slowly grown in northern forests, these dense, laminated logs are durable, breathable, and energy efficient. A natural, renewable material, spruce provides strength, insulation, and timeless beauty, making a genuine log sauna the best investment in wellbeing and longevity.
