SCP UK Add Almost Heaven Saunas To Their Wellness Line-up

In addition to expanding their Sentiotec range of saunas, SCP UK have added further outdoor options for those looking for some heat therapy with the addition of barrel options from the Almost Heaven Saunas brand.

Almost Heaven have been at the forefront of setting the standard for quality barrel saunas for over 40 years. The company uses only the finest materials to create the best, most authentic sauna experience for true sauna lovers. Skilled, experienced artisans craft each sauna using only high-grade, thick sections of lumber. Once fitted together in a traditional cooperage fashion, the cedar expands to form a tight seal and constantly circulates the air for a sauna environment that heats quickly and consistently.

The company’s Barrel Saunas are designed to be used outdoors. When an authentic sauna experience is needed – a beautiful, high quality sauna that performs beyond expectations – a barrel sauna from Almost Heaven Saunas is what’s required.

SCP have made three models available: the 4 person Pinnacle and Audra models plus the 6 person Weston. All three models come complete with a sauna kit which consists of a heater with integrated control unit, stones and sauna accessories.

Manufactured in the USA from rustic Western Red Cedar, each barrel sauna is easy to assemble and features: • Pre-assembled walls and benches • Interior LED light • Stainless steel banding and hinges • Tempered glass door • 35mm thick solid staves.

An optional floor kit and rain jackets are also available.

Enjoy Happy Hour With Darlly!

When Darlly Europe were asked to consider launching, marketing and distributing their own range of spa essences into the hot tub sector, it was a complete blast-from-the-past for Phil Moseley, one of the two founders of Europe’s leading cartridge filter manufacturers.

“This was Déjà-Vue,” said Phil: “As the reason I entered the hot tub market 28 years ago was because of my involvement in studying how Aromatherapy can have a synergistic effect with Hydrotherapy which was then the setup of Giardino Aromatherapy for Whirlpool Baths and is still going strong.

“The benefits of essential oils are now well versed and proven, however, it is the way in which those therapeutic benefits can be transported into your body that is so endearing when using a hot tub.”

We all now know the fabulous effects Hydrotherapy has on the body in a hot tub, however, adding essential oil blends with salt carriers adds yet another dimension in giving the bather aromatic delights and further therapeutic benefits.

Whilst the history of hot springs and thermal medicine, including ‘fragrance water’, goes back to Hippocrates, Darlly have taken a more modern approach with their products, introducing the Spa Cocktail range.

As with all such creations the idea of cocktails was formulated at an innocent family gathering, the essences were being tested in the hot tub and his daughter said: “That looks just like the Daiquiri I have just made!“

So based upon the colours and not the taste or smell, it should be added that the range includes Daiquiri, Margarita, Moscow Mule, Blue Lagoon, Gin and Tonic, Purple Rain and Pink Gin Fizz.

And the aromas are simply the best yet. Enjoy – cheers!
