🧖 Tylö Sense Commercial 8 Sauna Heater – 8kW Commercial-Grade Power for 6-12 m³ Rooms

Swedish-engineered precision heating with Split Output technology for efficient commercial sauna operations

♨️ Product Overview

The Tylö Sense Commercial 8 represents the pinnacle of Swedish sauna engineering, delivering 8kW of powerful, efficient heating specifically designed for commercial and public sauna environments. This professional-grade heater combines sleek Scandinavian design with Tylö’s renowned reliability, making it an ideal choice for gyms, spas, hotels, and wellness centres.

Featuring the innovative ThermoSafe™ protective coating, the Sense Commercial 8 maintains a contact-safe exterior at just 40°C, dramatically reducing the risk of accidental burns—a critical safety feature in busy commercial settings. The twin side chamber design ensures rapid, even heat distribution, whilst the patented Split Output technology automatically reduces power consumption once optimal temperature is reached, delivering significant energy savings during extended operation.

This commercial heater requires a separate control system (Tylö Pure or Elite panel with Commercial Lite relay box) to comply with commercial regulations requiring electronics to be separated from the heating unit.

📐 Room Sizing Guide

Standard Formula: 1 kW = 1 – 1.5 m³ sauna room volume

Adjustment Factors

Condition	Adjustment
Glass door or window	+1.5 m³ per m² of glass
Uninsulated or log walls	+25-50% to calculated volume
Outdoor or barrel sauna	+25-30% to calculated volume
High ceiling (above 2.3m)	Add additional volume
Brick or concrete without insulation	+1.2-2 m³ per m² surface area

Worked Example

📍 Example Commercial Sauna Room: 2.5m × 2m × 2.2m

• Base volume: 11 m³
• Glass door (0.8m × 2m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
• Total calculated: 13.4 m³

💡 Recommendation: This 8kW heater is suitable for rooms between 6-12 m³. For the above example room, consider the Tylö Sense Commercial 10 for optimal performance.

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)

Annual Operating Cost Estimates

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏢 Light Commercial	10	750	£1,581
🧖 Standard Commercial	15	1,125	£2,372
🏋️ Heavy Commercial	20	1,500	£3,162

Cost Calculation Formula

Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635

Example (8kW heater, Standard Commercial Use):
8 kW × 1,125 hours × £0.2635 = £2,372 per year

Per session cost (1.5 hour session): Approximately £3.17

💡 Energy Saving: The Split Output technology can reduce power consumption by up to 30% once optimal temperature is reached, potentially lowering these estimates significantly during extended operation.

⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, insulation quality, and current energy rates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size room will this heater work for? A: The Tylö Sense Commercial 8 is designed for sauna rooms between 6 and 12 m³. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or outdoor installations, add 25-50% to your calculated volume to determine suitability.

Q: Why does this heater require a separate control panel? A: Commercial regulations require that electronics are separated from the heating unit in public and commercial settings. This design ensures safety and allows for flexible control panel placement outside the sauna room.

Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Typically 30-45 minutes to reach optimal bathing temperature (80-90°C), depending on room size, insulation quality, and starting temperature.

Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: For commercial installations, 400V three-phase supply is most efficient (12A). Single-phase 230V installation is possible but requires higher amperage (35-40A) and heavier cabling.

Q: Are sauna stones included? A: No, sauna stones are sold separately. This heater requires 20kg of quality sauna stones with 5-10cm diameter. We recommend vulcanite or olivine diabase for best performance.

Q: Can I use this heater at home? A: Whilst technically possible, this is a commercial-grade unit designed for public and commercial environments. The Tylö Sense Elite range with built-in controls is better suited for domestic installations.

Q: What is the warranty? A: Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions specific to your installation.

Q: Is WiFi control available? A: Yes, when paired with the Elite Cloud control panel, you can control your sauna via smartphone, tablet, or computer from anywhere.
