It comes in three-, five- and six-person cabins, all with the floor included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeathered Grey Spruce is the architectural option in the range. The cladding runs as vertical board rather than horizontal lap, in a grey-weathered spruce finish, which reads as a considered piece of garden architecture rather than a timber cabin — closer to a modern outbuilding than to a log structure. Interiors are Scandinavian spruce in both finishes; the difference is entirely on the outside, and it is a difference of form as much as color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat separates an outdoor sauna from an indoor one is everything wrapped around the hot room, and that is where the C2 spends its engineering. The roof is triple-insulated — two layers of mineral wool with an air gap between them, finished with a waterproof EPDM membrane, the material used on commercial flat roofs. Walls carry 2-1\/8\" (54 mm) of mineral wool. Windows are double-pane insulated units rather than single glass. Roof eaves overhang the walls by roughly 7\" on every side, shading the cladding and keeping rain off it. Those are the details that decide whether the sauna holds temperature in February and whether the exterior still looks right in year ten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside, the cabin is lined in Scandinavian spruce with a 22-7\/8\" (580 mm) deep solid obeche bench and matching backrest, headrest and stool. Obeche is the traditional choice for contact surfaces because it conducts heat poorly and stays comfortable at full temperature. The FERO heater stands free on the floor behind an obeche railing. A wall-mounted thermometer and a beech wood 20-minute hourglass sand timer sit inside — analog instruments that need no power and don't fail in the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eClimate is held by a dual thermostat arrangement and Aerotherm ventilation, which maintains air exchange inside the cabin during a session. The digital control panel mounts externally on the front; its cover locks, keeping weather out and preventing the sauna being switched on by anyone who shouldn't. The front door locks as well when the sauna isn't in use — worth having on a structure that sits unattended in a garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe entry door is 5\/16\" (8 mm) tempered glass on matte aluminum hinges with a rubber seal, with a 10-5\/8\" (270 mm) beech handle inside that stays cool to the touch and a stainless steel handle outside. Interior lighting is indirect 2700K warm white behind the backrest; a separate run of exterior lighting wraps the cabin. Walls, floor and roof are joined tongue-and-groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCertified to UL 875 and CSA C22.2 No. 164.
