Klafs launches all-new Taras outdoor sauna

The Taras outdoor sauna offers a completely customisable wellness retreat

Klafs has introduced the Taras outdoor sauna to offer a blend of functionality and style.

With 23 different floor plan variants, from glass fronts and panoramic and side windows to glazed wood panelling or metallic surfaces, owners can customise their Taras sauna to match the aesthetic of their outdoor space.

Klafs told Spa Business that Taras saunas will be sold to spas and wellness facilities as well as private customers. In both instances, the company will work closely with the client to develop a bespoke solution to best suit their requirements.

Gilles Darmon, director of Klafs UK, comments: “The Taras outdoor sauna offers a completely customisable wellness retreat for our customers.

“It not only promotes health but offers an unmatched and elegant design that can be harmoniously integrated within our customers’ outdoor space.”

Engineered for optimal comfort, the seemingly free-floating lounger is set among a backdrop of wooden wall panelling – available in various woods such as spruce softline, ash nature and thermo while complementary atmospheric lighting elements provide a sensory experience.

The highly insulated wooden construction elements, paired with optional triple glazing prevent the possibility of draft – meaning customers can enjoy enduring warmth, whatever the weather.

To ensure maximum suitability for clients, the Taras Sauna is delivered to customers as a complete unit, assembled on-site within a day. Installation is coordinated by the Klafs team, meaning owners need to arrange power supply and foundation placement.
