Elevating Family Wellness
The synergy of sauna bathing and swimming at home with KLAFS & Guncast Swimming Pools in 2024
As the pace of modern life accelerates, finding new ways to prioritise family health and wellbeing is increasingly essential. In the pursuit of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, many families in Cheshire are looking to bring innovative wellness solutions into their own homes – particularly personal sauna cabins and private swimming pools.
Sauna bathing, renowned for its rejuvenating effects on both the body and mind, has a rich history dating back centuries. The benefits of sauna sessions are far-reaching, offering a wide range of health advantages. Saunas promote cardiovascular health by improving circulation and reducing blood pressure, contributing to a stronger heart. Sweating in the sauna also aids in detoxification, flushing out impurities and leaving the skin radiant. Saunas can even help the body battle common colds and seasonal sniffles by encouraging the production of white blood cells.
In tandem with the sauna experience, swimming serves as an unparalleled full-body workout that is gentle on joints. The convenience of having a private swimming space at home eliminates barriers to regular exercise, encouraging families to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle. Beneficial for all ages, swimming enhances cardiovascular fitness, builds muscle strength, and improves flexibility.
Leading the UK market in home wellness are KLAFS & Guncast Swimming Pools, a marriage that sees the very best German design engineering company with luxury swimming pool specialist to deliver wellness suites to British clients – and it’s becoming more and more popular by the day.
Now with an exclusive new showroom in Cheshire, Director of Guncast Swimming Pools and KLAFS in the UK, Gilles Darmon showcases the latest products to hit the UK market in 2024 – each meticulously designed and crafted to add beauty and elegance to the home, and bring a wealth of health benefits to families in the North.
Gilles Darmon comments: “One of the organisation’s most exciting new products is their S11 sauna – a collaboration between KLAFS and Studio F.A. Porsche, a premium design agency and originators of the Porsche design. The most harmonious, timeless and comfortable sauna that has ever been designed, the S11 is a limited run of just 999 units. The S11 provides a multisensory experience combining heat, colour, sound and comfort. Carefully dimensioned, precisely angled horizontal wooden slats create seemingly free-floating loungers, set against a backdrop of traditional Japanese Washi paper, and fit with cutting-edge light and sound technology tantalising the senses.
“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. At one touch of a button, the swimming pool is seamlessly raised or lowered, transforming right before your eyes. This innovative option is the ideal option for families with young children or pets, a great way to enjoy the peace of mind of 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.”
“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, counter-current swimming against powerful jets, water aerobics, massage or just simple relaxation, the spa pool is a must-have for any home.”
