HIVE takes its round form from a beehive, and the shape is not decoration. It lets HUUM place the heater at the centre of a room rather than against a wall, so a group can sit around it rather than in front of it.
Stainless steel arcs, cut and bent one at a time, hold 250kg of stone, the largest capacity in the HUUM range. Because so little metal stands between the flame and the room, most of the heat comes from the stone itself rather than the casing, which is what gives HIVE its long, gentle steam.
HIVE comes in three outputs, 12kW, 15kW and 18kW, and can sit on adjustable legs or be built into a sauna bench, with at least 350mm left protruding for airflow.
HIVE comes complete. 250kg of sauna stones, a safety rail and a UKU Glass control panel are included, the largest stone load in the range and nothing extra to source. A registered electrician fits the heater and panel together.
