SAUNA ČIEKURS

Sauna Čiekurs

Sauna Čiekurs is a spacious family outdoor sauna designed for those who want authentic heat and room for the whole family. Built from premium spruce milled logs with a professional Harvia wood-burning stove, this sauna delivers powerful traditional heat in 13.77 cubic meters of comfortable space.

Perfect for European families and sauna enthusiasts, Sauna Čiekurs combines traditional Latvian craftsmanship with functional design. Each sauna is handcrafted in Latvia using premium 40mm milled logs and proven construction methods. The sauna room features natural lime concrete flooring (a natural impregnate), two-level black alder benches, and a panoramic bronze-tinted window for the complete sauna ritual experience.

The Harvia Pro 20 SL is a premium professional-series wood-burning sauna stove designed for larger saunas and commercial applications. With its sleek black finish and side-loading door design, this powerful stove is perfect for Sauna Čiekurs. This is why we chose it:

Powerful 20kW Heating

With 20kW of heating power, the Pro 20 SL efficiently heats Sauna Čiekurs’ larger volume in 40-50 minutes. The professional-grade output ensures consistent, powerful heat even in the coldest Nordic winters, making year-round sauna bathing comfortable and authentic.

Side-Loading Door Design

The side-loading door allows you to add firewood during your sauna session without disrupting the heat flow or opening the front of the stove. This professional feature makes maintaining the fire easier and safer, especially important for longer family sauna sessions.

60kg Stone Capacity

Holds 60kg of sauna stones – significantly more than compact models. This massive stone capacity provides superior heat retention, softer and more consistent löyly (steam), and longer-lasting warmth after the fire dies down. Perfect for extended family sauna sessions.

Professional Black Finish

The sleek black exterior isn’t just beautiful – it’s a premium heat-resistant finish designed for commercial and professional applications. The black coating provides excellent durability, heat radiation, and a modern aesthetic that complements the natural wood interior.

Built for Durability

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with double-wall design for safety and longevity. Professional-series components, replaceable parts, and Harvia’s legendary Finnish engineering ensure decades of reliable performance. CE certified for European safety standards and backed by Harvia’s manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sauna Čiekurs

FAQ 1: How many people fit in Sauna Čiekurs?

Comfortably seats 6 people without touching, or allows 2-3 people to lie down on the benches for traditional sauna bathing. The 13.77m³ interior provides spacious room for families and groups.

FAQ 2: Does this sauna need electricity?

No permanent electricity required. The Harvia wood-burning stove heats the sauna using firewood. If you want lighting, it can run on 12V battery or be connected to mains power.

FAQ 3: What kind of foundation do I need?

You need a level, stable surface approximately 5.7m × 3.3m (to extend 30cm beyond the 5.1m × 2.7m sauna on all sides). Options include a concrete pad, paving stones, compacted gravel, or a sturdy wooden deck capable of supporting the larger structure.

FAQ 4: How long does it take to heat up?

The Harvia Pro 20 SL stove (20kW output) heats this 13.77m³ sauna in approximately 40-50 minutes, depending on outside temperature, wood quality, and desired heat level. The powerful 20kW output and 60kg stone capacity ensure consistent, long-lasting heat.

FAQ 5: Can I use this sauna year-round in winter?

Yes. The 40mm spruce log walls, extra roof insulation, and quality construction make Sauna Čiekurs suitable for year-round use in Nordic and Baltic climates. The wood stove provides powerful heat even in freezing temperatures. The separate vestibule also helps maintain temperature.

FAQ 6: Is assembly difficult?

Sauna Čiekurs comes as a pre-cut kit with detailed instructions. Due to its larger size, we recommend professional installation (3-5 days) or experienced DIY builders (5-8 days with 2-3 people). The lime concrete flooring and larger structure require more expertise than compact models.

FAQ 7: Do I need a building permit?

Regulations vary by country and municipality. In Latvia, structures over certain sizes may require permits. Check with your local building authority. We can provide technical drawings and specifications if needed for permit applications.

FAQ 8: How much firewood does it use?

Approximately 15-20kg of seasoned firewood per 2-3 hour session, depending on outside temperature and desired heat level. Larger volume requires more wood than compact models, but the efficient Harvia stove minimizes consumption.

FAQ 9: What is lime concrete flooring?

Lime concrete is a traditional natural material used in authentic Baltic saunas for centuries. It’s a mixture of lime, sand, and water that creates a durable, moisture-resistant floor surface. It’s breathable, naturally antimicrobial, and provides the authentic feel of historic sauna construction.

FAQ 10: What’s included – vestibule or just sauna room?

Sauna Čiekurs includes BOTH the sauna room (with lime concrete floor, two-level benches, stove, panoramic window) AND a separate vestibule/changing room (with oiled wooden floor, panoramic window). This is a complete two-room sauna structure.

FAQ 11: Can I customize the size or design?

Yes. We offer custom modifications including size changes, internal layout, window configuration, and can build from your own design sketches. Čiekurs is already our larger model, but we can adjust dimensions or create entirely custom projects. Contact us to discuss customization.

FAQ 12: Do you deliver to my country?

We deliver throughout the EU, with regular deliveries to Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Poland, and other European countries. Due to Čiekurs’ larger size, shipping costs vary more by distance. Contact us for a delivery quote to your location.

FAQ 13: What’s the difference between Sauna Oga and Sauna Čiekurs?

Sauna Oga is our compact model (2-4 people, 8m³) perfect for small gardens. Sauna Čiekurs is our spacious family model (4-6 people, 13.77m³) with included vestibule, larger capacity, lime concrete flooring, and professional ventilation window.
