The Kaari 240 Panorama is an \u003cstrong\u003eoval\u003c\/strong\u003e — a continuous curved shell with a \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 m circular window\u003c\/strong\u003e cut into one end, so the whole far wall becomes a porthole onto the garden. It is the piece in the range people stop and look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the shape it is a serious sauna: \u003cstrong\u003e42 mm thermowood side walls\u003c\/strong\u003e, thermo-aspen benches, and a partitioned layout that puts a proper changing room and a hot room under one roof at \u003cstrong\u003e4.05 m long\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe layout is the point\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kaari 240 Panorama is divided into two rooms with the heater sitting on the dividing wall. That matters more than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single-volume shell of this size would be roughly \u003cstrong\u003e15 m³\u003c\/strong\u003e of air to heat — which is why saunas this long are usually quoted with 12–18 kW heaters and a matching electrical bill. Splitting it means the heated room is around \u003cstrong\u003e7 m³\u003c\/strong\u003e: it comes up to temperature quickly, holds it, and runs on a sensibly sized heater. The other half stays cool as a changing and cooling space, so the hot room stays hot when someone opens the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical result: \u003cstrong\u003e4–6 people\u003c\/strong\u003e in genuine comfort, not a number chosen to sound impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy thermowood matters here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is thermowood throughout — timber kiln-treated at 180–220°C in a low-oxygen chamber. That is not a surface coating. It changes the wood itself, closing the cells so it absorbs far less moisture, which is what stops outdoor timber cupping, twisting and splitting through a British winter. No chemical preservatives are involved, and it weathers to a stable silver-brown rather than going grey and rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a curved building this matters more than on a square one. Every board in an oval shell is doing structural work as part of the curve, and timber that moves is timber that opens gaps. Thermowood is the reason the shape stays true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–6 people\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4050 mm L × 2400 mm W × 2200 mm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLayout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo rooms — hot room and changing room, heater on the divider\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeated volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 7 m³ (total shell approx. 15 m³)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide walls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 mm thermowood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear wall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 mm thermowood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ 1500 mm — the full end of the oval\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × tempered glass, 1690 × 590 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermo-aspen — stays cool to the touch at temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitumen shingles — black, red, green or brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pallets — 400 × 120 × 120 cm, plus glass 200 × 80 × 200 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything structural.
