When purchasing a heater like the Tylo sauna heater, it’s easy to focus solely on the heater unit itself—but the accessories you pair with it can significantly impact usability, safety, aesthetics and longevity. This buyer’s guide will walk you through the essential and optional accessories that help you get the most out of your investment.

Essential accessories and why they matter

Control panels

While the Sport 2/4 comes with a built‑in control, consider whether you’ll want wall remote placement, WiFi control or external controls for convenience. Control options may include timers (1‑24 h), temperature display, language and unit settings. Quality control means greater user convenience and ease of use.

Tylo Sauna Heater guards / safety rails

Especially in smaller rooms, installing a heater guard helps prevent accidental contact with the hot surface—especially helpful for families with children. A correctly designed guard must allow proper airflow, not interfere with heat distribution or ventilation, and be made from sauna‑safe materials (e.g., stainless steel, heat‑resistant wood).

Sauna stones

As discussed earlier, the right stones and stone setup are critical. When you buy the Tylo Sauna Heater, budget for the correct quantity of stones, plus replacement set over time. Using approved stones ensures optimal steam production and heater performance.

Thermal insulation & ventilation kit

While technically room accessories rather than heater accessories, good insulation and a proper ventilation kit ensure the Tylo Sauna Heater runs efficiently and safely. Many installers recommend an air inlet low near the heater and outlet near the ceiling to ensure proper air flow.

Aromatherapy kits / water reservoirs

Some heaters including models from Tylo incorporate water reservoirs for essential oils or fragrances. Ensuring you have the correct accessories (e.g., wooden ladle, bucket) enhances your sauna experience.

Optional accessories for elevated comfort & aesthetics

• Remote or App control modules: Some high‑end setups allow pre‑heating from your phone so the sauna is ready when you walk in.
  
  
• Lighting/mood‑effects: LED lighting, chromotherapy or ambient lighting enhance the feel—ideal for home spa environments.
  
  
• Sound system integration: Built‑in speakers or harnessing Bluetooth for relaxing audio can elevate your session.
  
  
• Sauna bench upgrades: Premium wood finishes, ergonomic bench shapes, integrated headrests or backrests enhance comfort.
  
  
• Stone baskets / trays: High quality baskets improve airflow around stones and simplify maintenance or stone‑replacement.
  
  

How to decide what you need

• Usage frequency: If you use the sauna daily or multiple times per week, investing in remote/app control makes sense.
  
  
• User profile: Families or multi‑user households should prioritise safety (guards) and ease of use (remote controls).
  
  
• Aesthetic goals: If your sauna is part of a dedicated wellness space, consider lighting/sound upgrades.
  
  
• Maintenance & longevity: Good quality stones, proper insulation, and ventilation kits pay off long‑term with fewer repairs and better efficiency.
  
  

Budgeting and installation considerations

When budgeting for the heater, allocate ~10‑15 % extra for essential accessories such as stones and heater guard. Ensure you allow for the cost of proper installation by a registered electrician, especially in the Philippines (or your local region) where wiring and safety matters are regulated. Make sure accessories are compatible with your Tylo Sauna Heater model. For example, the guard must not obstruct stone compartment or airflow of the Sport 2/4. Confirm warranty conditions: some accessories (e.g., non‑approved stones or DIY guards that block airflow) may void parts of the warranty.
