The differences

Made to measure

Two ways of using heat,
one goal: feeling good.

The sauna and the Turkish steam room are ideal places to release the body from the stress of everyday life.

AQVAM builds your space to measure, tailored to your wellness needs: for your hotel or for your home.

The Finnish sauna

Dry heat, natural wood

The sauna originates in Finland and is usually built with raw, untreated wood. The heat comes from an electric stove with heating elements covered in lava stones, which radiate heat as they warm up in a completely dry environment, where the temperature can reach 90 degrees.

An example we have built: the Finnish sauna at Hotel Due Mari, at around 85 °C with humidity between 15 and 20 %.

The Turkish steam room

Enveloping steam, marble and stone

The Turkish bath has Mediterranean origins: it is a humid environment, usually clad in marble or stone, with single-level benches and small showers or fountains for cooling off.

The heat spreads from vents that fill the room with a mist of steam, with humidity reaching 95–100 %. In the Calidarium at Hotel Due Mari, for example, the steam is at 42 °C with 100 % humidity.
