			<description><![CDATA[<p>The company took charge of a major project in Mexico relating to the production and installation of the spa area in the exclusive Mexican Vidalta Parque Residencial complex.</p>
<p>It constitutes an innovative concept with many high class quality features, which will set a milestone in the residential sphere in Mexico. The 8000 sq. m. venue includes a business centre, cinema, library, cafeteria, restaurant and other privileged facilities, and is set to be one of the most striking venues of today. The Freixanet Wellness Professional Projects division has designed and installed the luxurious wellness area, housed in the Altamirada Club.</p>
<p>The spa facilities, which are primarily intended for health and wellbeing, include modern treatments and services that will transform any moment into a unique, first class experience in terms of wellbeing. Indeed, there are highly attractive areas such as the sanarium, the mud bath, hemlock saunas, an ice fountain, a steam bath, Sonnenwiese (a new light bath system), equipment and booths for exclusive treatments, shower temples and snow booths.</p>
<p>The swimming pool is an area where clients can moisten, tone, revitalise, relax and stimulate the body using water, giving them an uplifting experience. The modern technology includes massage benches for specific areas, a bench that gives the feeling of weightlessness thanks to producing thousands of bubbles, and waterfalls that produce a therapeutic effect owing to the forceful pressure of the water on the back and shoulders. The two contrast pools, at 15&ordm;C and 42&ordm;C, are reminiscent of the experiences of the thermal baths of ancestral cultures. Lastly, the swimming pool also has a relaxing bath in one area with water heated to 35&ordm;C, which is shrouded in aromatherapy in the form of flowers and citrus fruits, just to complete the equation. When you leave the pool, the sensation route on river pebbles gives the soles of your feet an invigorating massage.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/noticia/20080325112352/min_20080915_parque_residencial_vidalta_01.jpg" alt="Parque Residencial Vidalta" title="Parque Residencial Vidalta" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/noticias/parque-residencial-vidalta.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Taking saunas is a wellness pleasure for all generations. To make sure that this philosophy of sauna enjoyment can actually be experienced at all stages of life, Klafs now supplies ranges of saunas with a special design without barriers. The Klafs sauna without barriers is optimally laid out for possible age-related physical constraints. Even for wheelchair users the new sauna cabin without barriers presents no insuperable hindrances.</p>
<p>This sauna trains the circulation and the heart. The dry heat in the sauna cabin expands the blood vessels and leads to increased blood flow and a faster heartbeat. The coronary vessels are activated and thereby contribute to an improved supply of oxygen and nutrition to the heart. This aids the effectiveness of the veins and helps the circulation and metabolism. What could be nicer than to be able to make use of this refreshing stimulus right in your own home?</p>
<p>Especially if with age you don't like to have to go long distances or you don't fancy subjecting yourself to the stresses of a public sauna. For the first time Klafs&nbsp;is presenting the special opportunities for customised installation of a sauna without barriers. The sauna entrance doors provide 90 cm-wide access so that a wheelchair can be wheeled in without problems if required. And rigid attachment hooks can be installed on and by the door to help you up. Even more comfort can be provided by wider, and in particular lower, bench fittings so that the bather can take his place in comfort in this high-quality sauna.</p>
<p>The sauna without barriers takes into account the most varied bodily requirements. Whether it&rsquo;s special footrests or handles on the ceiling or other important anchor points &ndash; everything that makes it easier for people with restricted mobility to enjoy a sauna is individually adapted by Klafs&nbsp;in the best possible way. So anyone who wants to strengthen their immune system and prevent high blood pressure and circulatory diseases with regular sauna sessions can now do so in their own private sauna even when they are advanced in years. So there are no barriers to healthy, complete mental relaxation!</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>It is one of the major challenges of our times &ndash; only careful use of our resources will ensure our future. For the wellness sector &ndash; society&rsquo;s megatrend &ndash; experts have now discovered intelligent solutions for a better world that make energy savings of over 40% possible.</p>
<p>As a global leader in sauna manufacture, we present with the Green Sauna package an efficient form of energy management in sauna construction. With the Green Sauna package sauna lovers can quite easily meet ecological requirements too.</p>
<p>The Green Sauna package, which can be used with almost all traditional Klafs sauna models, not only gives wellness fans optimum relaxation of the body but also reduces the pressure on nature and on their wallets with every sauna session.</p>
<p>You only have to touch the glass touchpad and the Green Sauna functions are activated:</p>
<p>The same heat for significantly less energy input is made possible with an electrical flap which, together with the double-walled Eco Plus thermal ceiling, keeps the heat in the cabin for a particularly long period. And all the energy-consuming devices such as the sauna light and also the fittings such as sound equipment, coloured light or lighting features operate only when the cabin is occupied. his reduces energy requirements with the Green Sauna package by over 40%.</p>
<p>We take our responsibilities seriously and for years we had set great store by sustainable energy use. So for example for the first time with our real wood veneer panels, sauna timber we have received the eco inspection seal from the Dresden Institut for Wood Technology.</p>
<p>With the Green Sauna package, the demand for a more intensive health-orientated lifestyle can now be better reconciled with the positive values of our times.</p>
<p>For mankind and the environment.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/novedad/50/min_green-sauna-web.jpg" alt="Klafs Green Sauna" title="Klafs Green Sauna" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/new releases/green-sauna.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>

			<title>Taosensa, reflexology path</title>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>KLAFS presents a completely innovative interpretation of a century old tradition: Taosensa refreshes the 5,000 year old practice of foot reflexology and transfers this technique to a host of senses; it is designed for use in the spa, wellness hotel or treatment area. With its differently shaped underground, such as different moulded ceramic parts or arches &ndash; Taosensa stimulates the reflective zones on the soles of the foot when you walk on it.</p>
<p>Just as movement is one of our basic needs, our feet are constantly looking for sensory effects. Any stimuli our soles receive are not only required from a practical point of view for our balance and movement. At the same time, the stimulation of the sensitive reflective zones on the feet triggers a number of adjustment responses in the corresponding organs of our body, thus promoting the harmonious interaction. These intensive impulses may let us feel motivated and comfortably activated at first, followed by deep relaxation and overall feeling of warmth.</p>
<p>When walking across Taosensa with bare feet, the guest can naturally control the intensity and duration of the reflexology, just the way he feels comfortable: the surrounding handrail of Taosensa provides the required support: if the user decides that the stimulus exerted on his feet is too strong, a slight increase of the pressure on the handrail decreases the massage impulse on the feet. If the guest wishes to increase the stimulation, he can simply use the entire body weight. This not only allows you to feel and touch the various surfaces - from cubically shaped to longitudinal or pointy moulded parts and wave-shaped surfaces: the different intensity of the stimulus from segment to segment effectively stimulates the entire organism.</p>
<p>Based on recent medical results, the stimulating effect of Taosensa by KLAFS is based on century old proven medical practices.&nbsp; Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and easy cleaning and care, Taosensa guarantees a sustained attractiveness increase of any modern spa.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/novedad/54/min_taosensa_-camino-de-sensaciones-web-ok.jpg" alt="Taosensa, reflexology path" title="Taosensa, reflexology path" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/new releases/taosensa.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just in time for Interbad, the Klafs&nbsp;wellness specialists are presenting the comprehensive, well-planned SALINA SPA, a self-contained, gorgeous white application zone in which select spa products combined with active ingredients from the sea promote and strengthen your wellbeing. The thalassic programmes featured in the SALINA SPA renew used up energies and stimulate the metabolism within a very short period of time, thus increasing the body&rsquo;s defence and stimulating the perfusion. The classical thalassic therapy has been known for centuries; it prevents joint disorders, stress, chronic fatigue and cardiovascular diseases and helps manage skin disorders as well as illnesses of the respiratory tract. Comparable to spending a day at the sea side, you will notice improved overall physical performance and your skin will look clear and firm after your wellness stay at the Salina spa.</p>
<p>The Klafs booth uses a variety of stations to realise a bathing sequence in which matching products consisting of sea water, seaweed and sea mud as well as maritime air perfectly complement one another. The sequence starts with the natural stimulation of the metabolism. Maritime peeling gently cleanses the skin and removes dead skin cells. The&nbsp;Klafs mud bath for purification and detoxification is the next step: applied steam opens the pores and the mud has a soothing and sustained vitalising effect. The contained extracts return the tenderness to the skin and prepare it for the following body treatments.</p>
<p>The refreshing sweet water shower with appealing mangrove motif is followed by the application of the Klafs spa pearls in the Salina spa: the centre of the application zone features a Sanospa massage tub and the Spavital massage table. The combination of freshly prepared sea water with the hydromassage in the Klafs Sanospa makes the bathing experience in the Salina spa zone a maritime power package. The contact with sea water opens up the pores, allowing important minerals and trace elements contained in the sea water such as iron, cobalt and calcium to enter the body directly. Vitamins and amino acids contained in micro pulverised algae stimulate the metabolism, purifying and detoxifying your body. This provides maximum moisturisation and relaxation to the skin and firms the entire body. In addition, more than 200 air nozzles provide a cyclical massage of the skin, extending from the feet to the neck. This powerful pressure intensively stimulates the muscles and subcutis and improves the blood transport within the tissue. The pure and natural shape of the classical thalassic bath combined with the Klafs application tub SanoSpa &ndash; after a hard day at work, Neptune would certainly enjoy this! A reflexology massage on the adjacent Spavital bench with adjustable height and presented for the first time as stone model with white Thassos stone glass is precisely what you need next. An invigorating or relaxing massage combined with a Vichy shower attached above the bench can be used for stimulation as well.</p>
<p>Finally, are you ready to take a walk along the seaside to take a deep breath of maritime air? The new&nbsp;Klafs Aerosol suite allows you to use the healing effect of the health-promoting breeze right here, in the oasis of the Salina spa zone. The effective cabin with comfortable ergonomic benches made of wooden lamellae and a wall made of salt from the Himalayas offers the comfortable salt inhalation at a temperature of 45-50&deg;. The climate in the Aerosol suite corresponds to the one in the caldarium because the high humidity of 45% promotes the ideal uptake of the trace elements, vitamins, proteins, minerals and amino acids contained in the salt. The sauna oven is also enclosed with the effective salt from the Himalayas: relaxing in the cosy glow of the back-lit wall of salt allows you to get closer to a healthy and strengthened immune system, radiant skin and beautiful appearance with every breath.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The company presents two models of steam shower which save space on account of their fully integral technique. They provide a wealth of possibilities and come in a range of sizes, suitable for users who want to freshen up after a sauna and for those who want to revitalise their circulation.</p>
<p>Both models have unrestricted design possibilities, since a variety of materials are used to build them, for instance, there are the mosaic, the natural stone and the ceramic stoneware models, incorporating all manner of modern, elegant details such as lit trays, touch screens and reclining seats.</p>
<p>The technical characteristics include lightweight, moisture resistant, two-sided panel-type integral components finished in cement and reinforced using fibreglass. Moreover, the interior surface is tiled using top quality materials and the bench seat is coated in granite (the mosaic model), or wood (in the case of the Valley model). Similarly, the roof is protected using damp proof treatment and a final coat of moisture resistant white paint.</p>
<p>These steam showers also incorporate a heating system including a heat distributor for the seat surface, a steam channel formed in niche, protection over the steam outlet with a stainless steel grating and a special hose for cleaning the benches against the wall.</p>
<p>All these aspects come together to afford a unique, sensation-filled experience and a new way of rediscovering relaxation. Even if you have very little room for manoeuvre at home, it doesn&rsquo;t mean you should relinquish your dream of possessing your own steam bath.</p>
<p>With this new range, the company is providing clients with customised, perfect solutions according to the individual needs of all users, for both large wellness areas and private individuals. Consequently, the Wellness Professional division applies the experience of its extensive team of professionals to each wellness area project, while this experience also has a bearing on the Wellness Home division, which is addressed to private individuals, resulting in highly reliable products and excellence in private wellness areas.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/novedad/3/min_20080915_ducha_vapor_valley_y_mosaico_01.jpg" alt="Steams shower Valley and Mosaik" title="Steams shower Valley and Mosaik" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/new releases/steams-shower-valley-and-mosaik.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>LIFTLIGHT CHROMOTHERAPY&nbsp; is here. It is a new, revolutionary product from Klafs that uses chromotherapy, and specifically red rays, as an anti-aging element for the whole body.</p>
<p>Using a new heat method channelled through light, Liftlight is the first in-sauna application that uses thermal effects to help rejuvenate cells healthily and revitalise the body. Thus, thanks to the collagen activation effects, scars are reduced and the effects of aging are eliminated. There is no need for operations and this method provides sauna users with a sensational feeling.</p>
<p>With age, collagen fibres stretch more and the skin becomes flaccid forming unpleasant wrinkles. Liftlight is used to carefully heat the deep layers of the skin, whereby collagen fibres are stimulated. Doing so gives an increased effect of elasticity. Moreover, it helps to produce new collagen fibres encouraging healthy rejuvenation of cells.</p>
<p>It is important to bear in mind that in classical medicine red light is used for bodily recovery and to relax and improve blood flow. Red light also energises the white cells in the blood to help produce fibroplasts, a basic component of new tissue. Even so, the process is improved by applying heat, as demonstrated by several scientific studies (the Medical College of Wisconsin, Hammersmith College, Imperial College of Science and Medicine).<br />&nbsp;<br />The red light provided by Liftlight as part of this new Freixanet-Klafs technology and therapy stimulates collagen in the spectral region of about 630 nm. It has the additional advantage that it can be used with classic fluorescent light tubes such as red, green and yellow. When combined, the positive effects are known as chromotherapy. Accordingly, with the red light, energy increases, the yellow light softens the atmosphere, the green light gives sauna users a leisurely feel and the blue light induces dreams, allowing users to enjoy healthy renewal of cells all over the body.</p>
<p>In short, with Liftlight the skin becomes smoother and more tense, making the body and face appear younger. The anti-aging effect for body and spirit is already on the market thanks to Freixanet-Klafs.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/novedad/5/min_20080915_cromoterapia_lifhtlight_01.jpg" alt="Liftlight Cromotherapy" title="Liftlight Cromotherapy" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/new releases/liftlight-cromotherapy.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The LOUNGE sauna stands out on account of its elegant design, its clear shapes and perfect finishes. Interior walls are exclusively coated in knot-free hemlock wood and are available in two finishes: large panel or classic softline profile, both prepared using Canadian spruce giving it an appearance that is second to none.</p>
<p>The interior of this sauna is fitted in a Zen style, assuring a moving sense of relaxation. It also offers many innovations, including: benches that have the appearance of hanging, low back rests with a 45&ordm; angle in the corners, avant-garde head rests, among many others. The novelties include the elegant handle and the wood and glass lights. All these elements convey a feeling of balance supplemented by the comfort afforded by cutting edge technology.</p>
<p>As far as exterior features are concerned, the Lounge sauna offers a range of options. There are various doors and windows to choose from (according to the desired visibility) and the outer coating can be customised depending on the height of the room, by opting for continuous hemlock panels or classic wood decking, natural or white varnished spruce, dark or white wengue, with plain front partitions in the corners.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The main innovative aspect of this sauna lies in the horizontal designer panels, the outward protruding door with a glass corner and the possibility of adding several functions to enhance users&rsquo; experiences.</p>
<p>The standard sizes for this new Freixanet-Klafs model are 230 x 230 cm (breadth and width) by 216 cm (height). Accordingly, it is ideal for setting up in private homes, allowing users to make the most of all the advantages of wellness at any time.</p>
<p>The exterior is coated in American walnut which, along with the glass door, enhances the design. Furthermore, the hemlock panels on the interior walls and the roof lend the sauna a feel of spaciousness, lucidity and elegance.</p>
<p>Lastly, the Ventano sauna incorporates a natural stone Majus heater inside that gives off pleasant warmth, there are spacious ergonomic benches, an internal display for the SaunaPur function with a touch control panel, and a sanarium and Liftlight accessory, which stimulates the regeneration of collagen and tenses the skin. It also features Bellaveda panels, exclusive to Freixanet Saunasport, making it possible to benefit from image, light and sound. Lastly, also worth noting is the indirect Sunset light that is incorporated into the back rests in the sauna. All these aspects strive to provide users with the utmost comfort and provisions.</p><img src="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/content/imgsxml/galerias/novedad/7/min_20080915_sauna_ventano_01.jpg" alt="Ventano sauna" title="Ventano sauna" /><p><a href="http://www.freixanet-saunasport.com/en/new releases/ventano-sauna.php">More information</a></p>]]></description>
