Our Leil Black Cube Sauna has exceeded our expectations in every way. We wanted a sauna which blended with our garden setting, to provide spa like quality without crowding our outdoor space. It's elegant compact design is spacious enough on the inside to fully recline, whilst occupying a relatively small footprint. It's sleek, black exterior has allowed it to blend in with both our vegetation and existing structures.
The smoked glass windows allow us privacy whilst being able to enjoy all the benefits of our garden scenery. The interior is so comfortable we are already doubling up its use as a winter garden room, where we can enjoy observing visiting wildlife which remains oblivious to our presence.
We have opted for the HUUM heater which achieves temperature in under 30 minutes, even when its close to freezing outdoors. The heat is so even it matches anything we have experienced in specialised spa resorts, and the compact design means that half a ladle of water from the elegant bucket supplied, brings an instant zing to the whole cabin. The adjustable LEDs enhance the ambiance of the idyllic Sauna experience.
The installation process was no less pleasing. Keith and Abdullah were so easy and pleasant to deal with. They have constantly checked on my satisfaction, and helped me through all the installation process with several hints and tips. The mechanical installation team were a delight, and negotiated our narrow and inticrate entrance without fuss. A team of three worked tirelessly from dawn until dusk to complete the process in one long day. They were so pleasant, and the handover was simplified by a thorough supplied checklist.
One part of the installation which is seperate, and should not be underestimated (in price or time) is the electrics. It took 2 engineers several hours, just to wire the sauna, and it also needs a seperate supply from the mains unit, which is also a substantial activity. Fortunately Heracles supply a list of experienced electricians which allow for a more efficient and quality process.
It is also easy to overlook the foundations, and I nearly did! Our garden is on a slope and normal foundations would have been costly and time consuming. So at the last minute, I chose to employ ground screws. I was lucky to discover a company called 'No more digging'. They too were a delight to work with, and they interacted with Heracles to produce an unobtrusive substructure, that they prebuilt. This meant the entire foundation was installed inside 90 minutes at a very reasonable cost!!
This option which impressed the Heracles team, has the bonus of maintaining excellent air circulation underneath the sauna, but does raise its height such that a step access needs to be factored in.
Don't just take our word for it, but our son and daughters are visiting more regularly to enjoy the delights of this health enhancing garden Sauna. We all agree on the high quality of the Sauna aesthetics and practicality.
For anyone considering a similar venture I can thoroughly recommend Heracles Wellness and the Leil Black Cube Sauna.
Thank you Keith and the teams, this has been an unexpectedly pleasurable experience.
