Know before you buy
Vulcanite is a volcanic rock known for its exceptional hardness and density. This allows the stones to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without cracking, while providing superior heat retention for a more consistent sauna experience.
The size selection depends on your heater model. Smaller 5-10 cm stones are typically used for smaller electric heaters, while the larger 10-15 cm stones are better suited for wood-burning stoves or larger electric heaters that require better airflow between the stones.
Yes, you should always rinse the stones with water to remove any dust or debris from the packaging before installation. This prevents dust from circulating in your sauna air during the first heating cycle.
Even durable volcanic stones will eventually degrade due to thermal stress. For regular home use, it is recommended to inspect your stones once a year and replace any that have begun to crumble or break apart to ensure optimal heater performance.
No, the stones are naturally a dark grey color when dry. They will only take on their signature deep black appearance when they are wet, which adds a nice visual contrast during your sauna session.
