## A safe sauna can also be a cozy sauna

The sauna has evolved from a place for washing to a wellness retreat where you can
relax and enjoy yourself.

Safety is especially important for families with children, as young ones often enjoy
the sauna’s warmth as much as adults. However, children may find it difficult to
sit still for extended periods. To enhance safety and prevent accidents caused by
unsteady steps, installing guardrails in your sauna is a wise choice.

To prevent accidental start-up, Harvia heaters include safety features such as indicator
lights that show when they are in use. Additionally, users can secure start-up with
a child lock or by placing the control panel out of children’s reach.

Proper sauna maintenance is essential, just like any other home system. Regularly
caring for the heater and benches ensures longevity and safety. Most importantly,
use the sauna only as intended, not as a storage area. Avoid drying clothes, towels,
or tablecloths inside, as this poses safety risks.

A well-crafted guardrail serves as both a safety feature and a stylish addition 
to the sauna. Its sleek design blends seamlessly with modern sauna decor. Additionally,
the guardrail enhances the structure of the space and keeps the heater firmly in
place.

## Sauna start-up by a mobile device

Remote start systems for electric heaters are becoming increasingly popular in homes
and cottages. When installed correctly, these systems require confirmation before
heating the sauna, as users must first set them to standby mode. The person activating
the heater takes full responsibility for its operation, even when not physically
present. For added safety, a door sensor prevents the heater from starting if someone
opens the sauna door after the initial check.

Harvia’s door sensors, combined with a compatible control unit, enable the safe 
remote start of electric heaters and other sauna functions. Safety remains the foundation
of all Harvia products, including the latest Harvia Cilindro and Spirit heaters.

Beyond heaters, Harvia has evolved into a provider of complete sauna and spa experiences.
From high-quality equipment to the design of your dream sauna, Harvia offers everything
you need to create the perfect wellness retreat.
