AN INGENIOUS IDEA
In 1952, Erich Klafs personally delivered the first fully prefabricated sauna - an ingenious idea that was well ahead of its time. What was previously built on site by a carpenter over a number of days and often varying in quality, was now a product of guaranteed precision thanks to a sophisticated production line with a swift and efficient assembly time.
TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS
Superior craftsmanship starts with superior materials, and sourcing those materials requires trusted relationships. Throughout its history, KLAFS has worked diligently to forge strong connections in the timber industry. Thanks to experienced merchants who have spent decades in the field, KLAFS is able to source the quality of timber needed to build exceptional saunas.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
From the beginning of the sauna production process, KLAFS ensures the stage is set for exceptional execution. After each and every step, the KLAFS staff conducts quality checks until the most stringent standards are met. KLAFS is also the first company to receive Blue Angel certification for sauna construction - a distinction reserved for environmental awareness in the selection and processing materials.
EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP
Working with wood requires end-to-end process expertise and an intimate feel for the material. KLAFS understands that each type of wood has its own special characteristics and requires different techniques for handling, processing, and storage. Using this knowledge and a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and technology, KLAFS expertly manipulates wood to create beautiful sauna designs that last.
CULTURE OF INNOVATION
Optimization and innovation are engraved into the KLAFS character. Traditional courses of sauna bathing are reimagined with new technologies to create saunas with modern functionality and higher levels of sophistication. KLAFS blends state-of-the-art technology with a user-friendly focus to enhance the sauna experience - whether that's the SANARIUM® climate system or BONATERM under-bench heating technology.
