Liittämien

Liittämien is a term used in Finnish to describe a type of traditional Finnish sauna, specifically one that is built into a larger structure, such as a house or a larger building. The term "liittämien" comes from the Finnish word "liittää," which means "to join" or "to connect," reflecting the idea that the sauna is an integral part of the larger building.

Liittämien saunas are typically smaller in size compared to standalone saunas, and they are often used for relaxation and socializing. They are usually heated by a wood stove or a sauna heater, and they may have a separate room for changing clothes and storing sauna accessories.

The construction of a liittämien sauna involves integrating it into the existing structure of the building, which can include modifying walls, floors, and ceilings to accommodate the sauna. This can involve significant construction work, and it is often done by professionals with experience in sauna construction.

Liittämien saunas are popular in Finland and other Nordic countries, where saunas are an important part of the cultural heritage. They are often used for social gatherings, such as family reunions, birthday parties, and other celebrations. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in liittämien saunas, as people seek to incorporate traditional Finnish sauna culture into their modern homes.
