Industry’s Most Efficient Electric Heater. The Ultra Sauna heater line was developed in 1964 (formerly by Vico Mfg.) with the goal of developing the only line of convection air-flow sauna heaters. By achieving greater air flow, the heater can heat the room more rapidly and extend the life of the heater elements. This is accomplished by a unique element chamber design that separates each element. By restricting air space, the lower cold mass of air forces the warm air out at a higher velocity. In traditional saunas, where the elements are grouped together in the chamber, the elements radiate heat against each other forcing the elements to work at a higher temperature and for longer periods of time compared to a convection design.

Considered the best electric sauna heater in the world, the Ultra-Sauna heater is the only sauna heater that offers a solid pan design with 100% stainless steel construction, protecting the heater components.

Ultra-Sauna Heaters do not rust and require less maintenance than other heaters on the market.

Scandia's traditional Finnish electric sauna heaters are designed for use in a cedar sauna room. The sleek, compact, and 100% stainless steel design creates a heater that's as beautiful as it is functional. This heater utilizes convection-style airflow and is a wall-mounted unit that is directly wired into the building. Includes elevated rock tray designed to prevent water application from damaging the unit. This heater requires an electrical supply and includes all wire connections and supplied leads rated for high-temperature application.

Exclusive "national preferred vendor" for the YMCA for the past 13 years. Scandia is also the exclusive preferred vendor for Powerhouse Gyms, Gold's International, and Bally's Total Fitness. You will also find Scandia Ultra Sauna heaters in top resorts, hotels, and universities around the world.

Proudly made in USA since 1964

    Features

    • Lower Operational Costs. Convection air flow generates greater velocity of heat resulting in a more energy-efficient system. A common complaint of gym owners is the continuous replacement of costly elements damaged by open-chamber designs that allow water to run down the elements and into the connections. Ultra - sauna’s solid pan design eliminates water damage while the chamber design creates greater airflow, reducing element operating temperatures and extending the element’s life.
    • Versatile Design. While designed as a traditional dry sauna heater, the exclusive pan design transforms it into a Russian or Turkish sauna heater. Russian/Turkish saunas are characterized by having more moisture than Finnish saunas but higher temperatures and less steam than steam rooms. Craftsmanship, versatility, and smart design have made the Ultra Sauna line the #1 choice for commercial saunas.

    Sauna Heater Sizing Guidelines

    • Minimum and maximum room sizes are based on a 7 foot ceiling height
    • Properly sized heater will bring room temperature to desired level in approximately 30 to 60 minutes
    • An undersized heater may experience instances of overheating
    • The maximum room sized is based on the heater bringing the room temperature from 60 to 180 in 60 minutes
    • Sauna room must be properly vented for heater to work effectively

      General Sauna Room Guidelines

      Sauna room must be properly constructed and well-insulated according to sauna kit installation guidelines, including the following recommendations:

      • Sauna room interior should be finished entirely with kiln-dry, softwoods such as Clear Western Red Cedar.
      • Sauna room walls should not include the following finishes: ceramic tile, rock or any material that will retain heat in the walls as this can cause the heater to overheat.
      • Sauna room must be properly vented.
      • Sauna door must always open outward.
      • Sauna door can never include a lock.
      • Heater must have a heater guard made according to Scandia’s specifications. Never put heater in a cove where airflow is restricted.
      • Industry standard—Recommended sauna ceiling height is 7ft (84”). Sauna rooms with ceiling height exceeding 8ft (96”) will result in an automatic void in heater warranty
