Their modular structures can be adapted to suit various preferences, tastes, and lifestyles. The company emphasizes the ability to move these structures, even internationally, providing added flexibility for clients who may relocate.

They offer a range of sauna models, including the "Pirts Ūsiņš" designed for ritualistic bathing, the "Sauna Ahti" suited for family or group gatherings, and a portable sauna built on a raft. Beyond saunas, they provide living modules like "Lote" and "Kate," office modules, and utility modules, demonstrating the versatility of their container-based construction. The company can be found on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, where they share updates and engage with their audience.
