An arched shell has \u003cstrong\u003eno square corners for heat to sit in\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the air circulates evenly and the room comes up to temperature without cold pockets round the edges. It also sheds rain and snow straight to the ground with no roof junctions to fail, which is exactly what you want on a building that spends its life outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe extra 780 mm over the Kelo 220 goes entirely into bench length. That is the difference between four people sitting and \u003cstrong\u003esix people sitting comfortably\u003c\/strong\u003e — or two people actually lying down, which is how a lot of sauna sessions end up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a single room throughout. At \u003cstrong\u003e7.9 m³\u003c\/strong\u003e that is still a modest volume to heat, so it comes up quickly and runs economically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpruce or thermowood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are available, and it is a real decision rather than an upsell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNordic spruce\u003c\/strong\u003e is the value option and perfectly good if you treat it every couple of years. \u003cstrong\u003eThermowood\u003c\/strong\u003e is kiln-treated at 180–220°C in a low-oxygen chamber — no chemical preservatives, just heat and steam. It absorbs 40–50% less moisture and moves far less, which on a curved shell matters more than on a square one: every board is doing structural work as part of the arch, and timber that moves is timber that opens gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a pod this long there is noticeably more timber than on the 220, and proportionally more to gain from wood that stays put.
