A Harvia® 3.5kW wall heater warms the air and the sauna rocks to 220°F (104°C) at bench level; pour water over the rocks for a brief burst of steam (löyly) when you want it. The 1-person design keeps the footprint tight while the FlowCore active convection system pulls fresh air in at floor level and exhausts spent air at the ceiling — so the heat stays intense but the oxygen stays fresh. Built from 100% Canadian Hemlock with a black-tinted glass door and integrated ambient lighting, the Forge is a piece of backyard architecture engineered to endure rain, sun, and cold evenings year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"spec-banner\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e220\u003cspan class=\"spec-card__unit\"\u003e°F max\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eTrue Finnish dry heat · 104°C at bench level\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e3.5\u003cspan class=\"spec-card__unit\"\u003e kW\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eHarvia® Vega Compact wall heater\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e100%\u003cspan class=\"spec-card__unit\"\u003e hemlock\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eCanadian Hemlock interior · weather-resistant build\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e40\u003cspan class=\"spec-card__unit\"\u003e min\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eCold-start to 220°F · 170°F in ~25 min\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ============ TECH CARDS ============ --\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n      \u003ch2 class=\"section-title\"\u003eWhat makes the Forge a real Finnish sauna, not an outdoor shed with a heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"tech-grid\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"tech-card\"\u003e\n          \u003ch3 class=\"tech-card__title\"\u003eHarvia® Vega Compact 3.5kW heater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n          \u003cp class=\"tech-card__body\"\u003eThe heater is Harvia — the Finnish industry standard, not a generic non-branded resistance box. 3.5kW drives the cabin from cold to 170°F in ~25 minutes and to 220°F in ~40 minutes.
