The Celsium Sauna Experience Buying Guide

How It Works

The Celsium range represents the pinnacle of Nordic-inspired outdoor wellness. Because each sauna is a bespoke timber structure tailored to your specifications, we follow a meticulous process to ensure your installation is seamless and transparent. Below is the step-by-step journey from your initial order to your first session.

1. Consultation, Place Your Order & Site Assessment Your journey begins with selecting the right Celsium model — here, the compact Else Classic, with or without the front porch. We invite you to schedule a personalised consultation with our specialist team to discuss your project in detail.

• Proactive Logistics: Before your sauna enters production, we consult our "last-mile" delivery team to verify property access and site details, clearing logistical hurdles in advance.
• Bespoke Confirmation: Once we're confident the site is accessible and the specification is correct, your order is officially logged.

2. Handcrafted Production Celsium saunas are handcrafted to order, not mass-produced.

• The Timeline: Due to the bespoke nature and high level of customisation, the production lead time is approximately 6 weeks.
• Total Lead Time: With an additional ~2 weeks for secure transit and delivery coordination, the total journey from order to doorstep is approximately 8 weeks.

3. Delivery & Professional Installation Services

• Complimentary Delivery: Delivery to your kerbside is free of charge across UK Mainland.
• Professional Assembly: For a build to factory standards, request our expert installation service at the point of purchase. The Else Classic is also supplied as a flat-pack kit for capable self-assembly.

4. Preparation Checklist (Pre-Delivery)

• The Foundation: Provide a solid, level base engineered to support the structure plus the "live load" of users. The Else Classic weighs approximately 750 kg; your base (reinforced concrete, slab or structurally rated alternative) should be rated comfortably above this and be perfectly level.
• Electrical Requirements: Electrical installation is the customer's responsibility. The heater is hard-wired — consult a qualified electrician before ordering. We provide the specific wiring and heater manuals in advance so they can prepare the correct cabling and RCD protection for your chosen heater.

5. Delivery & Inspection

• Palletised Arrival: Your sauna arrives securely palletised and weather-wrapped to protect the timber.
• Integrated Assistance: Kerbside delivery is standard; where access permits, our crew gets the pallet as close to position as possible and assists in carrying the individual components to your installation site.
• The 24-Hour Rule: Once unpacked, check all components carefully. To maintain warranty eligibility, any missing or damaged items must be reported within 24 hours.

6. Installation Pathways

• Option A — Internal Installation Team: We deploy qualified carpenters to assemble on-site, with most compact builds like the Else Classic completed in one working day. The fee covers the build; travel is free within Mainland UK (England). Channel Islands, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Wight are quoted separately.
• Option B — Independent Carpenter / Self-Assembly: Supplied as a flat-pack kit; if you don't use our team, we strongly recommend a qualified carpenter handles assembly to factory specification.

7. Warranty Validation & Handover

• Essential Wood Treatment: Immediately apply a breathable wood oil to the interior and exterior to protect the timber from moisture and UV damage while letting it "breathe" through heat cycles.
• Mechanical & System Check: Verify all doors, windows and ventilation slats function smoothly.
• Test Cycle: Once the electrician has certified the connection, run a full heater and LED test cycle before your first session.

8. Enjoy Your Sauna & Aftercare

• Aftercare: Periodically inspect the timber finish and electrical components, and re-apply breathable oil as needed for your local climate.
• Ongoing Support: As your dedicated reseller, we're here for the long haul — contact us anytime for replacement parts, seasonal maintenance advice or technical assistance.

Your heater is selected when you place your order

The Else Classic is supplied without a fixed heater so you can match the heat source to how you like to sauna — an electric heater for convenience and precise control, a wood-burning stove for a traditional fire ritual, or infrared for a lower-temperature hybrid session. The options below are the heaters Celsium offers for the Else Classic; each is sized by its manufacturer to a recommended room volume. Because the Else Classic is a compact 4-person cabin, the 9–10.8 kW electric heaters and the wood stoves listed all suit its footprint comfortably. Celsium does not publish the cabin's interior volume in m³, so treat these manufacturer room-volume ratings — together with your installer's advice — as the sizing guide, and confirm the final choice with us at order.

Heater documentation

Official manufacturer datasheets and installation manuals carry the exact electrical, fuse, cable and clearance figures for each model — always work from the document for the heater you configure:

• Harvia Spirit SP90E (9 kW)
• Harvia Cilindro PC110E (10.8 kW)
• Harvia Legend family (electric + wood)
• HUUM Drop
• HUUM Hive / Hive Mini
• HUUM Core
• Saunum Experience
• Harvia Legend 150 (wood, 16 kW)
• HUUM Wood
• HUUM Flow / Flow Mini

Read this before you order — your electrical supply depends on the heater you choose

The Else Classic has no single fixed electrical requirement: it is determined by the heater specified at order. Every electric heater Celsium offers for the Else Classic is a higher-output model (9 kW and above), so each should be planned as a dedicated, hard-wired three-phase 400 V connection. Wood-burning stoves need no electrical supply to the heater at all, and the hybrid infrared option runs on a standard 230 V supply.

The general rule

• Every electric heater offered for the Else Classic — Harvia Spirit XW 9 kW, Cilindro 10.8 kW and Legend 10.8 kW; HUUM Drop, Hive Mini and Core; Tulikivi Halla E 9 kW; Saunum Experience 9 kW — is a three-phase 400 V (3N~) heater and should be wired as a dedicated three-phase, hard-wired circuit.
• Wood-burning stoves need no electrical supply to produce heat (a flue/chimney and building-control sign-off apply instead).
• The hybrid infrared option runs on a standard 230 V supply.
• Celsium does not publish a supply specification for the cabin itself; the authoritative figures are always in the chosen heater's own manual.

Heater electrical reference (Else Classic options)

Figures are the manufacturers' official datasheet/manual values for the dedicated heater circuit.

The Harvia Legend electric heater shares the Harvia pillar-heater platform used by the Cilindro PC110E, so its 10.8 kW figures follow the Cilindro pattern (3 × 16 A, 5 × 2.5 mm²) — always confirm against the Harvia Legend manual for your exact model. The Saunum Experience manual mandates a minimum 5 × 2.5 mm² connection cable and gives the exact fuse rating and recommended room volume in its Table 1.

Installation requirements (UK)

• All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and comply with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations).
• Provide a dedicated, hard-wired radial circuit for the heater — do not share it with other loads.
• Protect the circuit with an appropriate RCD/RCBO and fit a local isolator / means of disconnection within reach of the heater.
• Electrical installation is the customer's responsibility and should be arranged before delivery so the connection can be certified at commissioning.
• Always follow the exact fuse, cable and RCD figures in the chosen heater's manual — these can differ between models of the same kW.

Quick sizing note (Watts ÷ Volts = Amps)

Current draw = power ÷ voltage. A 9 kW heater on a 230 V single-phase supply would pull roughly 9,000 ÷ 230 ≈ 39 A, which is why single-phase installations of larger heaters need a high-current radial and thicker cable. Spread across a 400 V three-phase supply, the same 9 kW draws far less per phase (≈ 13 A per phase), which is why three-phase is preferred — and required — for the higher-output heaters offered on the Else Classic.
