Thermo Barrel Sauna 280 GF

The Thermo Barrel Sauna 280 GF is a spacious outdoor sauna designed to accommodate up to 6 adults and is built with treated thermowood for exceptional stability in high heat and humidity. The heat-modified interior is specifically engineered to resist warping, cupping, and resin release, ensuring it dries quickly between sessions while maintaining a smooth, comfortable finish. Protective roof shingles provide long-term weather resistance, which helps the sauna withstand rain, wind, and the fluctuating conditions of Northern Ireland. For heating, you can choose from electric options like the Harvia 6kW heater and the Huum Drop 6kW heater, or wood-burning alternatives such as the Harvia M3 heater and the Huum Hive wood-burning stove. This model is available across Northern Ireland from Aquasun.

Treated Thermowood Interior

Our interior features heat-modified Thermowood, which offers outstanding stability in high temperatures and humidity. This treatment ensures the timber will not warp, cup, or leak resin over time. Because the wood is low-moisture and has fewer knots, it dries rapidly after use and remains smooth, improving both hygiene and comfort. The deep caramel tones provide a warm, luxury feel that requires very little maintenance throughout its long lifespan.

Protective Roof Shingles

The protective roof shingles are engineered to boost the durability and look of your sauna. Specifically chosen to match the natural finish of the Thermowood, these shingles act as a tough barrier against the wind, rain, and temperature shifts common in the Northern Ireland climate. This weatherproof layer prevents water from entering the cabin and protects the structure from wear, ensuring your sauna stays warm and attractive for many years.

Choose your Sauna Heater

One of the first steps in planning your sauna is selecting the most suitable heat source. An electric heater provides modern ease with simple temperature adjustments at the touch of a button, making it perfect for an effortless wellness routine. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, a wood-burning heater delivers a genuine, deep heat along with the relaxing, aromatic atmosphere of a real fire.

Deciding between an electric or wood-burning model depends on your personal taste, the space you have available, and the practicalities of installation. If you are unsure which option is right for your home, contact the Aquasun Wellness team today for professional guidance and all the answers you need.

Benefits of Saunas

Detoxification

Saunas help your body naturally flush out toxins through sweating. As your core temperature rises, blood vessels expand, circulation improves, and your body releases built-up impurities through the skin.

Regular sessions can leave you feeling lighter, refreshed, and cleansed — a simple yet powerful way to support your body’s natural detox process.

Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief

Heat therapy relaxes muscles, eases tension, and improves blood flow to tired or sore areas. This can reduce stiffness and speed up recovery after exercise or physical work.

It’s also known to help with chronic pain conditions such as arthritis or back pain, offering soothing, drug-free relief.

Stress Reduction & Mental Clarity

The gentle heat of a sauna helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress hormones like cortisol. The quiet, warm environment encourages deep relaxation and mindfulness.

Many people report clearer thinking and an improved mood after each session — like a mental reset for the body and mind.

Improved Circulation & Heart Health

Sauna use mimics the effects of light cardiovascular exercise. As your heart rate rises and blood vessels expand, circulation improves and oxygen delivery to muscles and organs increases.

Research suggests that regular sauna bathing may support heart health, helping lower blood pressure and improve vascular function over time.

Skin Health & Glow

The heat from a sauna opens pores and boosts blood flow to the skin, promoting natural cleansing and cell renewal.

After each session, you’ll notice a healthy glow as impurities are flushed out and new, oxygen-rich blood nourishes the skin’s surface.

Better Sleep & Recovery

A sauna session before bed can help your body wind down for a deeper night’s rest. As your core temperature cools afterwards, it signals your body to enter sleep mode naturally.

Combined with its relaxation benefits, sauna use can improve sleep quality, leaving you feeling restored and energised the next morning.
