More sauna rooms are perhaps built and set up by their owners rather than being installed by expert professionals.
Design Options:-
There
is a wide variety of modular sauna kits, which can be either
traditional designs of pre-built panels that can be assembled together
to convert into a fully functional sauna room or custom size sauna
packages that are designed to meet the owner’s details. With a DIY sauna
kit, you will be able to fast and easily build a sauna room fitting any
surroundings and space. However, you will have to select the right size
sauna kit as the supplier will deliver the complete package matching
your space requirements.
Type Options:-
Traditionally,
sauna rooms are separate cabins built outside the home so thinking to
build your sauna in the backyard is perfectly ok. An outdoor sauna may
cost you a little more due to weather protection and possibly laying
electricity and water supplies to the site.
If
you don’t have enough space outside or simply want to enjoy more
privacy by building a sauna room inside your house then you still have
options in pre-built sauna panels. They are freestanding varieties which
can be disassembled and carried around to set up at anywhere inside the
house.
Doors and Windows Options:-
Sauna
doors should always open outside for safety concerns. The door of a
standard size sauna room measures around 24″x72″. You are free to order a
sauna kit coming with a pre-hung door which is less likely to distort
even in the great differences in heat and humidity. The factory
supplied sauna doors come in different finishes and some even come with
pre-built windows. These windows are mostly made of single glazed,
tempered glass to survive heat better and have enough room in the frame
to facilitate expansion.
Walls and Benches Options:-
The
walls of a sauna room should be properly lined in a vertical or
horizontal design using all possible sauna liner materials. After the
walls are lined, you will have to think of installing the wooden sauna
benches which will be wide enough for anyone to stretch out on and made
with 1/2” gaps in between the boards so that air circulation will be
easier. Benches are organized in a 2-tier, upper and lower bench layout
so that you can enjoy the temperature that soothes the body best; the
lower bench turns out to be a little cooler than the top bench.
Vents and lighting Options:-
Most sauna rooms will just need 2 air vents for uniform heat distribution and keep the air fresh.
One
inlet vent should be placed below the sauna heater (generally an air
gap is left under the sauna door/door vent); the outlet vent should be
placed on the opposite side, nearby the ceiling to exercise some kind of
control on it while helping regulate the heat too.
Apart
from suitable ventilation openings (4” to 6” diameter), it is essential
to maintain the right lighting in the sauna room for perfect pleasure
and relaxation. It’s fine to just have one sauna light or you can even
go for more. You should not exaggerate the sauna room though.
Sauna Heating Options:-
If
you want a traditional sauna soak experience with a wood-fired stove
then you can carefully follow the manufacturer’s manual to build it on
your own. If you are interested in building a sauna room
heated by an infrared or electric stove then you should contact a
professional electrician to handle wiring for you. And the DIY sauna
room packages come included with the best heater matching your cubic
space.
