Golden Designs Loviisa 3 Person Hybrid (PureTech™ Full Spectrum IR or Traditional Stove) Outdoor Sauna (GDI-8523-03) - Canadian Red Cedar Interior, 2 Tone Finish

The Golden Designs Loviisa (GDI-8523-03) completes the trio of the Loviisa series. The distinguishing feature of the -03 model is the 2-Tone Exterior Finish.

While the internal mechanics and the high-grade Canadian Red Cedar interior remain identical to the other Loviisa models, the 2-tone aesthetic offers a modern, high-contrast look designed to make the sauna a focal point of your outdoor living space.

## 🎨 The "-03" Aesthetic: 2-Tone Finish

The 2-Tone Finish typically features a sophisticated contrast between the natural wood panels and darker trim or structural accents. This "Barn Series" look bridges the gap between traditional rustic charm and contemporary architectural design. It is particularly popular for modern backyards or poolside installations where you want the sauna to look like a custom-built structure rather than a standard wooden box.

## ⚙️ Hybrid Heating Breakdown

The Loviisa 3-Person Hybrid is engineered to offer two distinct therapeutic environments in one footprint:

1. Full Spectrum Infrared (The "Internal" Heat)

• Emitter Count: 11 Total (5 Carbon PureTech™ + 6 Near-Infrared).
• The Tech: Near Zero EMF ratings ensure a safe environment while the "Full Spectrum" waves (Near, Mid, and Far) penetrate deeper into your muscle tissue.
• Experience: Ideal for those who find high-heat steam too "stuffy." It operates at $118^{\circ}F - 132^{\circ}F$.

2. Traditional Finnish Stove (The "Ambient" Heat)

• The Stove: A heavy-duty 8.0 kW heater.
• The Experience: This is the classic "hot rock" experience. By adding water from the included bucket to the stones, you increase humidity and core intensity.
• Experience: Reaches up to $190^{\circ}F$.

## ⚡ Detailed Electrical Requirements

Because this unit powers both a massive 8.0 kW stove and a complex array of IR panels and electronics, the electrical preparation is significant. You will need two separate power feeds:

1. High Voltage (Heater): $240V / 40AMP$ dedicated circuit. This requires a hardwired connection by a professional.

2. Standard Voltage (Control/Media): $120V / 15AMP$ circuit. This powers the "Galaxy Star" ceiling, the Bluetooth sound system, and the LED control panel.

## 🛠️ Preparation for Delivery

• Freight: This will arrive curbside on a large pallet. You will need a clear path and likely a couple of sets of hands to move the individual panels to the installation site.
• The Foundation: Ensure you have a level, non-porous surface. A concrete pad is best for outdoor units of this weight to prevent settling over time, which can cause the glass door to misalign.
• Privacy: The Bronze Privacy Tempered Glass is a standard feature on this model, ensuring that even with the 2-tone exterior drawing eyes to the unit, your session remains private.
