What’s Hot: The Latest Saunas & Swimming Pools for 2023
Director of Klafs UK and Guncast, Gilles Darmon, showcases the latest products to hit the UK market
With biohacking the buzzword when it comes to health in 2023, taking care of, and enhancing your wellness has never been a bigger priority.
One brand that knows a thing or two about self-care is Klafs UK, the British arm of the renowned German company, widely regarded as a world-leader in wellbeing facilities. Established in 1928, Klafs are known for their innovative take on traditional saunas and spas, bringing design-led products to homes and hotels across the country.
Guncast Pools & Wellness, now part of Klafs, has perfected the art of luxury swimming pools, found at the forefront of the revolution of the at-home wet leisure suite. Travelling the world installing the very finest pools, Guncast continues to prove integral in the development of new industry trends, whilst also responding to the ever-changing, opulent requests of clients.
Now with an exclusive new showroom in Cheshire, Director of Klafs UK and Guncast, Gilles Darmon, showcases the latest products to hit the UK market – each meticulously designed and crafted to add beauty and elegance to the home, and bring a wealth of health benefits to its users, too.
The S1 Sauna
The world’s first retractable sauna is ideal for those wanting to incorporate the detoxifying and healing benefits of regular sauna use into their daily routine, but are short on space. Only 60cm deep when retracted, it is the same size as an average wardrobe, yet at the touch of a button, it extends to a depth of 1.6m with sophisticated eMove technology. New for 2023, the Klafs S1 Sauna now also comes in a chic black finish – perfect for more contemporary homes blending seamlessly into the interior design of your home.
The health benefits of saunas are well documented, known for their toxin-blasting, circulation-improving qualities. Not only increasing blood flow, improving cardiovascular and respiratory functions, saunas can help the body battle common colds and viruses by encouraging the production of white blood cells – while simultaneously offering significant mental health and relaxation benefits. This space-saving product can seamlessly be installed into small spaces in any house - from bathrooms to bedrooms.
The ESPURO Foam Bath
A brand-new product in our catalogue this year which we’re already seeing a lot of buzz around is the ESPURO Foam Steam Bath. Taking steam bathing to the next level, the ESPURO releases dense aromatic foam into the steam room – cleansing and moisturising the skin fully, before special nozzles release a gentle stream of warm water and washes the remaining foam away.
Perfect for hotels, private health clubs, spas or cruise ships, the new product provides an unparalleled wellness and relaxation experience for your guests. A low-maintenance option for your cleaning teams, all water-carrying lines are flushed and disinfected at the touch of a button, meaning your guests can feel safe and comfortable during their foam bathing experience.
Moving Floor Swimming Pools
Swimming is an excellent way to work your entire body and cardiovascular system. An hour of swimming burns almost as many calories as running, without the impact on your bones and joints.
Guncast’s moving floor swimming pool is a fabulous solution for expanding homes without enlarging the footprint or losing rooms. With one touch of a button, the swimming pool is seamlessly raised or lowered, transforming right before your eyes. This innovative option is the ideal solution for families with young children or pets, giving parents peace of mind and increased security. The system allows you to create a safe space for all family members, from children to novice swimmers, by adjusting the height of the pool floor on demand. It is also hugely beneficial for households seeking a space-saving pool solution.
Vitality Pools
Last but certainly not least is Guncast’s Vitality, Spa and Hydrotherapy Pools. The vitality pool is an excellent option for those who wish to have a pool but worry they don’t have enough space. Equipped with air and water jets and often features such as bubble pads, massage benches and powerful massage jets, these small “swimming pools” are the perfect addition to your daily wellness routine. Whether you plan to use it for spa hydrotherapy, countercurrent swimming against powerful jets, water aerobics, massage, or just simple relaxation, the spa pool is a must-have for any home.
