What makes the Cilindro so good for steam?

It's all about the stones. The Cilindro's grate-like outer shell holds a massive stone capacity—up to 264 lbs. This huge thermal mass stores an incredible amount of heat, allowing you to create a gentle, humid, and prolonged steam. The unique design also allows you to control the steam's character: pour water on the side for a soft, gentle steam, or on top for a sharper, more intense burst.

How can the Cilindro be installed?

The Cilindro offers incredible design flexibility. It can be a traditional floor-standing unit, or for a sleek, modern look, it can be seamlessly integrated directly into your sauna's bench using a special embedding flange. This versatility makes it a favorite for custom sauna builds and a stunning focal point in front of a glass wall.

What size Cilindro heater do I need?

The Cilindro series is a powerhouse, with options from 6kW for home saunas all the way up to 10.5kW. The right size depends entirely on your sauna's volume. To get a precise recommendation for your specific room, our Sauna Heater Size Calculator is the best tool for the job.

What controls do I need for the Cilindro?

You have options for any style. Some models come with simple, reliable built-in controls at the base. For a sleeker look and more advanced features, other models are designed to be paired with the separate, wall-mounted Harvia Xenio digital controller, which can also be upgraded for WiFi smart control via the MyHarvia app.
