The company story of Tähtisaunat Oy

entrepreneurä Sami Kulju says:

In Hollola, Finland's highest quality saunas and stoves are made.

The sauna and board manufacturing company was founded in 2001, when two young men started operations in Joensuu and Lahti. In the beginning, we made customized sauna sets and boards at the customers' homes, until we started making boards in the garage. We did a lot of sauna and bathroom renovations for renovation and new projects. We also did tiling, waterproofing and Kotikylkylä furniture. The boom forced us to bigger premises and we bought the Vellamo-lauteet business of the then board manufacturer Lamellwood in 2005. Tähtisaunat Oy was founded in 2005. In the acquisition, we got bigger premises and a ready market for custom-made boards. From then until 2007, the growth was skyrocketing and we had to buy bigger premises for the production of boards in Hollola. Now we are primarily focused on manufacturing high-quality and individual saunas and platforms based on the customer's wishes, as well as creating a sensuous sauna atmosphere with sauna lighting. In 2010, we started manufacturing electric heaters in Hollola. Magnum stoves were chosen as the product name. The market received the stoves surprisingly well, because they had a clear market niche. In the stoves, we have invested in design and moist baths. In 2017, we started designing a new stove called Finlandia, which is the flagship of stoves. Currently, thousands of people bathe in high-quality Tähti saunas and enjoy the wonderful steaming of Magnum and Finlandia heaters all over the world in their saunas. Tähtisauna's products have also received the right to use the Kvainlippu logo, because they are manufactured and designed in Finland. Our selection also includes fiber lamps, LED light sets, special panels, Iki stove, Mondex stove, Tulikivi stove and many other sauna and washroom related products. Our head office is located in Hollola, and we have several dealers all over Finland. Our main industry is saunas and sauna accessories, our company had 5 employees.

Things to consider when planning a sauna When planning a sauna, you should start with the location of the stove, the sauna door and any windows. Likewise, it is good to think about how many saunas should fit on the rafts at once. There are many board models for different types of saunas. Tähtisaunat always designs the sauna as a whole according to the customer's wishes. 

Nowadays, lighting is a great creator of details in a sauna. We sell Cariit fiber lights, lighting rods, LED lights and other things that the customer's sauna complex requires. Sauna lighting always depends on the customer's preferences and visions, the size of the space and the shape/model of the board model. One lighting solution can be excellent for one entity, but may be bad for another, be it the ceiling or the shelves.

The heater is the heart of the sauna. When choosing a stove, you should spend some time and think carefully about what you want from a stove. Design heaters are already commonplace in saunas. Modern stoves have a lot of stones. A large amount of stones enables soft and moist baths, which brings a little wooden sauna atmosphere to the electric sauna. Today, a 6,6kW stove can hold up to 100 kg of stones! A large amount of stones slightly increases the heating time of the sauna, but "pays for itself" as a better soak. For a stove with a large amount of stones, you need to reserve more scalding water, because the heat is taken through the scalding.

All Tähtisaunas sauna boards are the work of professional carpentry. The platforms are made to measure for our customers in Hollola. For example, we have taken into account the cleaning requirements in the design of the boards. Lower shelves that cover the entire sauna are quite popular, but challenging from a cleaning point of view. We have solved the puzzle in such a way that we do not attach the surface boards to the board frames at all, but they only rest on the frames.

A wonderful and safety-enhancing detail is the sauna's glass wall, which connects the sauna and the washroom into a unified and spacious whole. The stylish sauna glass wall has a durable structure. The shiny chrome hinges of the glass wall of the sauna and the handle of the glass door are finished with high quality. High-quality processed aluminum strips make it easier to install the glass wall and guarantee a wonderfully finished result.
