Innovative Design and Sustainability with Kirami's New Sauna Collection
Kirami, a Finnish manufacturer known for its exceptional hot tubs and saunas, is making waves with its latest offering, the Kirami FinVision® -sauna Tile. This new collection is a game changer, bringing a blend of modern technology and eco-friendly solutions to the world of outdoor saunas. These saunas can operate off the electrically connected grid, thanks to options for solar panels and battery systems, making them accessible even in the most remote locations.
The Vision Behind the Innovation
The inception of this impressive collection dates back to conversations led by Kirami's CEO, Mika Rantanen, about the future of outdoor saunas. Rantanen recognized a significant gap in sauna design solutions that remained stagnant. Conventional saunas often relied on hefty energy consumption from wood or electricity, not considering their environmental impact. With a vision to create something more sustainable, he embarked on a mission to provide eco-friendly options without sacrificing comfort.
Energy-Efficient and Off-the-Grid Solutions
The Kirami FinVision® Sauna Tile collection includes two primary models: M and S. These innovative saunas are designed for energy efficiency and autonomy, boasting a notable decrease in energy consumption. While traditional outdoor saunas typically utilize a 9-kilowatt heater, Kirami has designated the M model with a Harvia Delta 3.6-kilowatt heater and the S model with a 2.4-kilowatt heater. The smaller heating units are highly effective due to the excellent thermal insulation and advanced triple-pane windows installed in each sauna.
Unmatched Comfort and Experience
One of the most impressive aspects of the Kirami FinVision models is their quick warm-up time. In summer, these saunas heat up in just around half an hour, while in cooler weather, they take approximately an hour. Even better, their optimized design ensures that energy consumption is up to a quarter less than that of traditional outdoor saunas. Users can still enjoy the beloved soft, moist atmosphere characteristic of traditional Finnish saunas, known as “löyly”, thanks to the carefully engineered electric heating system.
Ready to Use Anywhere
For those spaces beyond the reach of traditional electrical grids, Kirami offers the world’s first off-the-grid electric sauna. This pioneering model includes a solar panel and battery as part of a comprehensive package, enabling sauna use even in secluded areas without direct electricity supply. With fully charged batteries, users can enjoy their saunas for approximately 2–3 hours, extending to 4–5 hours if the sun is shining. When connected to the main electrical grid, the sauna heater retains warmth for longer periods, enhancing user experience.
Spotlight at International Trade Fairs
The Kirami FinVision® Sauna Tile collection will be prominently featured at major trade fairs like Interbad in Stuttgart and Piscine in Lyon. These events are set to showcase Kirami's innovative spirit, including their fresh branding – Kirami by Harvia, reflecting their corporate partnership with the Harvia Group since 2021. The transition to this new brand symbolizes a commitment to enhancing wellness through groundbreaking innovations in sauna technology.
Excitement for the Future
Mika Rantanen expressed enthusiasm for presenting these revolutionary outdoor saunas to a global audience. The future of energy-efficient sauna use emphasizes sustainability, ensuring that such experiences can be enjoyed for years to come.
