Yes, above all, sauna is an experience – one of relaxation, joy, well-being, togetherness, and long-lasting memories that we also want to highlight in our communication. However, behind a good sauna experience, there are many details that may not be immediately visible to you, such as the pest mesh.
One often overlooked yet essential feature of a Hetki Sauna is the pest mesh made of stainless steel to keep the unwanted guests at bay. While it may seem like a minor detail, this hidden element is crucial to maintaining your sauna’s integrity and functionality. Without it, pests like mice or squirrels could infiltrate the structure, chew through insulation, or even build nests – leading to costly repairs and unnecessary headaches. At Hetki, we seamlessly incorporate these protective barriers into our saunas, ensuring pests stay out while maintaining proper ventilation of the roof structure. This thoughtful feature reflects our commitment to building saunas that deliver exceptional performance, lasting durability, and peace of mind.
Beyond pest protection, proper sauna design is critical to long-term performance. Poorly built saunas can suffer from trapped moisture, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage. That’s why Hetki saunas are constructed with durable sheet metal roofs, high-quality insulation with vapor barrier, and air gaps in-between for effective ventilation. These elements keep your sauna dry, healthy, and ready to provide years of enjoyment. Naturally, if an outdoor sauna does not have any heat insulation – as surprisingly too many products on the market do not – and may even lack proper external roofing, then there is no need for such details as a pest mesh.
Investing in a garden sauna can be a complex decision because not all saunas are created equal. The difference between years of effortless relaxation and unexpected issues often comes down to quality and attention to detail. So, when you are choosing a sauna for your yard, ask the salesperson to explain this kind of technical detail to you.
