Harvia The Wall SW80 8kW Electric Sauna Heater | Built-In Controls | Complete Package Options

Built-In Illuminated Controls

The SW80 includes built-in temperature and timer controls directly on the heater, creating simple everyday operation without a separate wall control. Harvia describes The Wall with illuminated, easy-to-use control switches for adjusting the heater’s temperature and timer.

Sleek Scandinavian Design

The black steel body and compact vertical profile create a clean, modern look that complements both traditional and contemporary sauna interiors.

Authentic Finnish Löyly

Pour water over properly heated sauna stones to create steam, humidity, and the atmosphere that define traditional Finnish-style sauna bathing.

Compact Wall-Mounted Footprint

The wall-mounted design helps preserve floor space while keeping the heater accessible and visually refined.

Flexible Left- or Right-Handed Installation

The control switches can be configured for left- or right-handed installation, giving you more flexibility when planning heater placement.

Optional Bench Integration

Harvia notes that The Wall can be integrated into a sauna bench when installed according to Harvia requirements, making it a strong option for more custom sauna interiors.

Smart Airflow Design

The Wall is designed with airflow in mind to support steady warmth and a comfortable sauna experience throughout the room.

What Makes Harvia The Wall Different?

Minimalist Design with Everyday Simplicity

Harvia The Wall is designed for sauna owners who want a clean, architectural heater without giving up the simplicity of built-in controls.

Instead of a bulky traditional heater body, The Wall has a slim vertical profile and polished black steel finish that feels more refined inside modern sauna spaces. The built-in illuminated controls keep the experience straightforward, while the compact wall-mounted format helps preserve usable room inside the sauna.

It is a practical, design-forward heater for customers who want authentic traditional sauna performance without the complexity of external controls or app-based operation.

• Sauna room adjusted cubic footage
  
• Stone package requirements
  
• Electrical requirements
  
• Heater placement and clearances
  
• Wall mounting surface
  
• Ventilation and bench layout
