The Harvia Sauna Experience Buying Guide
How It Works
The Harvia Block range pairs a designer glass-front cabin kit with your choice of Harvia 9 kW heater package. Below is the step-by-step journey from order to your first session.
1. Choose Your Cabin, Heater Side & Package Select the Block Medium, your heater position (left or right), and either cabin-only or a 9 kW heater package (Virta, or Virta Combi steam — each with stones and a Fenix Wi-Fi control). Not sure which? Tell us your room and supply details and we'll recommend the right match. Complete your purchase and you'll receive an order confirmation.
2. Order Processing & Dispatch Your order is prepared and the cabin is supplied as a flat-packed element kit with assembly materials, product sheet and installation guide. Lead times are confirmed at order (some Harvia items ship from Finland).
3. Delivery to Your Address Free kerbside delivery across the UK mainland. The kit is large and heavy (~515 kg gross across multiple packages), so please ensure someone is available to receive it; you'll typically be contacted to arrange a convenient day.
4. Receipt & Inspection Inspect all packaging on arrival and check every element and component against the manual. Report anything missing or damaged straight away, and keep all packaging until the sauna is fully assembled and working.
5. Assembly The Block Medium is designed for straightforward assembly — the element/keyhole panels slot together with hidden fittings, and the adjustable legs make levelling simple. Two people and basic tools are recommended. Prefer not to build it yourself? We can arrange professional installation at additional cost.
6. Electrical Connection (Heater) A qualified electrician must connect your 9 kW heater and control to a suitable hard-wired electrical supply (typically three-phase for a 9 kW heater), in full compliance with UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). This is essential for safety and to maintain warranty cover.
7. Commissioning & First Use Add the sauna stones, pair the Fenix control and MyHarvia2 app (if fitted), run a first heat cycle, then set your temperature and lighting for your first authentic Finnish sauna.
8. Aftercare Keep the cabin ventilated, clean the timber and glass as advised, and periodically check the heater, control and lighting. Contact us anytime for stones, accessories or support.
