Sauna stones play an important role in ensuring optimal heat distribution and steam quality, and also contribute to the overall sauna experience. Choosing the right stones is very important as it affects not only the efficiency of the sauna, but also its safety and aesthetics. In this article, we will discuss the main criteria for selecting stones and the most commonly used stones, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The main criteria for choosing stones Heat accumulation and distribution: Stones should heat up quickly and retain heat for a long time. This allows an even temperature to be maintained and produces better vapour. It is important that the heat is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the stones. Resistance to thermal shock: Bathing stones should be resistant to changes in temperature to avoid splitting or crumbling when they heat up and cool down quickly. Mechanical strength and durability: Stones should be durable and resistant to wear and tear. This is particularly important for baths with heavy use. Environmental friendliness and safety: It is recommended to choose natural stones that do not release harmful substances at high temperatures. Aesthetics: The appearance and colour of the stones can contribute to the interior design and overall atmosphere of the sauna. Popular sauna stones and their properties Basalt Advantages: Excellent heat absorption, quick heating and long heat retention. Very robust and resistant to temperature changes. Usually black or dark grey in colour, it adds elegance and modernity. Cons: Can be heavier than other stones, making them more difficult to install and handle. Gabbro-diabase Advantages: Dense, robust and resistant to thermal shock. Dark colour giving aesthetic appeal. Retains heat for a long time and distributes it evenly. Disadvantages: Like basalt, it can be heavy, so care is needed during installation. Advantages: Softer stone, which makes it easier to work and adapt to different designs. Good heat retention, slow to heat up and slow to cool down, creating a softer and longer lasting heat. It has unique textures and colours, adding a sense of naturalness. Cons: Softness may make it less resistant to mechanical stress. Jasper Advantages: Aesthetically appealing due to its variety of colours and textures. Good heat absorption and retention, but heat distribution may be less even. Disadvantages: Can be more brittle, so care should be taken when choosing. Serpentine Advantages: Good heat storage and distribution properties. Unique green colour palette which gives a distinctive and natural beauty. Disadvantages: Lower resistance to decomposition compared to basalt or gabbro-diabase. Neutral or rounded stones Advantages: Smooth shape helps to distribute heat evenly. Mostly natural, but there are also man-made options that are more durable. Cons: Natural stones can be brittle and require more frequent maintenance. Maintenance and replacement of stones Bathroom stones require regular maintenance. It is recommended to check the condition of the stones every year and to remove damaged or broken stones. This helps to maintain good heat distribution and safety. When replacing the stones, it is important to ensure that the new stones are properly spaced and not to use pieces that are too large or too small to ensure optimum air flow through the stone layer. Installation and positioning of the stones Correct positioning of the stones is critical to ensure good air and heat flow. The stones should be arranged in such a way as to ensure free air movement through the stove. It is advisable to place larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones at the top to ensure better heat distribution. Conclusion When choosing stones for a sauna, it is important to take into account their physical and chemical properties, as well as the intensity of the sauna use and personal preferences. The right choice of stones will not only ensure optimum heat distribution and steam quality, but will also give your sauna a unique character and aesthetics.
