Very little stones and the “fence” is pretty low down.
The radiator isn’t all that uncommon in Finland either. Most apartment saunas have them to keep the room heated when the sauna is off.
Is that carpet?
Plastic floor
Classic swedish sauna, the have no idea how it actually functions. And the no permission to even throw water on the rocks. Ahahahahah.
A sauna in sweden is usually a big fail. They are always cold and built wrong 😒
Finally classic Finland posting: Shitting on Sweden.
Clearly this is a “sauna”. You’d put the kiuas in the corner of the sauna for best löyly. The radiator is a bit weird addon there. There seems to be no ventilation behind the paneling. Image is a bit blurry, but the floor looks like plastic carpet. And for the final touch, the thin plywood would warp in sauna use.
All in all I’d say that the temperature in this “sauna” never exceeds 40 °C, and löyly is carefully applied with a teaspoon.
But the radiator is nice thing so… Sauna does not get cold.
This may be ‘a’ sauna in Sweden but their sauna, contrary to the memes, are not unlike others and no they don’t do 50c sauna either

The only dumb thing is how some people in our country think sane needs to be 90+ where a good long sauna sweat fest where you really cleanse and soften up is around 70-80
What is that floor? Potato camera makes it look like a carpet.
The boards around the stove are too low and you’re more likely to trip on it, as opposed to any protection it might offer. Probably a bitch to clean under the stove as a cherry on top.
There is no door so all the löyly escapes
Looks like it’s in an apartment, or at least next to heated living space.
If the sauna was quite detached it could be understandable to keep a bit of base heat going to avoid mold, and frozen pipes in the shower.
Not S I S U enough
Writing this at communal allways-ready sauna and everything looks off in this picture. Anyways.. drinks beer and forgets any of this.

When I did my university exchange in sweden, I realized that there is a distinct difference between Finnish and Swedish aauna tand their intended uses. In sweden, Saunas are kot designed or at least the stove is not intended to be trown water at, but to instead relax in a mildly hot room sitting reading a newspaper and stuff. No steam and not too hot. Instead, in the Finnish sauna, the temperature change from outside is the main goal. Hot steam for less time. This became clear to me having visited several saunas in sweden, and it all depends on where the stove was built.
Is it in the south or the north of Sweden? In the south people can’t build a proper sauna if their life depended on it, but in the north they are usually at least decent. (I sadly live in the south so I can only get to a proper sauna by visiting friends in the north or going to Finland).
Convection stove. Just today there was a article why that particular design is bad (behind a paywall [https://www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2000011035740.html](https://www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2000011035740.html) ).
well first of all that is not a sauna.
It is a Swedish bastu.
main difference between sauna and bastu is.
Sauna can go over 100 degrees Celsius and is kindled with wood.
Bastu goes to 60c max so people can read newspapers and is heated with electricity.
the person who owns this bastu got tired of the constant medium temperature and added a heating unit to the wall.
Looking at the floor, that looks like a section of a normal room is decorated to look like a sauna. You can’t throw water on the stones with regular floor, and the moisture from the steam would likely also fuck up rest of the house. So at best it will be just a warm cabin. People who don’t know of anything better might call it a sauna.
It looks like a closet to me where kiuas is on a timeout inside a baby play pen. The plastic floor mat would smell like cancer and glue inside a real sauna and what is with the radiator is the kiuas broken or so crap that the radiator helps the room to get to 35c?
I bet there are more problems with this “sauna” but i can’t look at the picture any longer without getting diarrhea.
Yo is there a secret Väinämöinen / baby Väinämöinen commenter club we should be aware about lol
So imma finn living in sweden, why is there a radiator?, not enough stones and the fence is too low, someone is getting their finger prints burnt off
what’s the lämpöpatteri doing here
I’ve seen vinyl floors in wood-heated saunas in Finland. And a radiator is not a rarity. Usually, it’s behind the benches.
But the common trope in Swedish saunas is that their rock volume is much lower than in Finland. That means you can heat it up quickly, but after you’ve thrown one bucket of water on it, it’s all over. Back in the day, Finns wondered why Germans bought Swedish saunas instead of our “real ones”. The smaller rock volume was the answer: Germans preferred very short bathing times. We Finns, as is known, can bath hours after hours in our saunas.
The problem is see is someone carrying electronics like smartphone to sauna.
Needs more stones… Hmm… Wait… What the hell is the radiator doing there?

Lack of stones?
It’s so cold you need a radiator?
Everything is wrong. The disrespect.
