With the passage of time, saunas are gaining an increased appreciation worldwide that triggered the individuals and firms to produce this amenity even more, expanding their supplies for providing this service. An increase in the producers of saunas has forced the existing producers to face a tough competition and come up with more advanced ideas for building saunas. An innovation due to this increased competition came in the form of Barrel Sauna, a round, circular shaped sauna instead of the old squared shape saunas.

A barrel sauna or the circular shaped sauna if compared with the squared shape sauna provides the exact kinds of services and facilities, however the round shaped sauna is capable of being much more effective than the squared shape sauna in many aspects.

A major benefit derived from Barrel Sauna is its equal transportation of heat. These kinds of sauna offer an exact range of heat and warmth. The sauna is designed in a way that it takes all the warm air upwards and similarly the colder air is passed downwards. The heated air that gathers upwards stays until it cools down and then it is exchanged with the heated air that helps in keeping the top portion of the sauna hotter than the bottom portion and all this is possible because of the curved and a round shape of the sauna. This procedure enables the Barrel sauna to provide heat at a faster rate and a minimal amount of heat energy is wasted, and your body can experience an exact amount of heat and warmth.

The round  and a circular structure of the Barrel sauna enables you to occupy most of the space inside and there are no chances for a greater proportion of the space to be wasted. On the other hand a squared shape sauna lacks this feature and there are incidents of a lot of space going in vain and any steps that are taken to avoid this issue further leads to another problem of air congestion. A squared sauna is comparatively bigger in size and has a drawback as it requires more effort to heat up the sauna due to its huge size and capacity. The time taken to maintain a good level of heat inside a squared sauna takes a considerable time and most of the users do not appreciate waiting for more than a reasonable time for the sauna to heat up properly.

Barrel saunas are designed to be located outdoors in the open air and its perfect round shape helps it in getting rid of any rain water to gather on its surface area. However the squared shape sauna faces a big problem when it comes to dealing with the rain water, because it gathers on the surface and unlike a round shaped sauna this water does not get depleted and instead stays on the surface resulting in the erosion of the wooden interior of the sauna. In comparison a round shaped Barrel sauna due to its shape can easily handle these effects and allows you to reduce your costs for maintenance and proves to be much more durable than other saunas.
