The most common and suitable types of wood used in sauna construction are black spruce, larch, cedar, and aspen. These wood species are preferred due to their durability against temperature changes and high resistance to humidity.
The duration of sauna construction varies depending on the type of sauna, its size, the materials used, and the available space conditions. On average, building a sauna can take around 2 to 4 weeks.
The costs of sauna construction vary depending on the type of sauna, its size, the materials used, equipment, labor, and additional features. We provide you with suitable options for your project, taking into consideration your budget.
A dry sauna provides low humidity and high temperature using a heat source such as wood or electricity. A steam sauna, on the other hand, provides higher humidity and lower temperature using heated water vapor. The choice between them depends on personal comfort and health needs.
For a dry sauna, the ideal temperature should be between 70-100°C, and the humidity level should be around 10-20%. In a steam sauna, the ideal temperature is between 40-60°C, and the humidity level should be close to 100%.
During sauna construction, you should pay attention to factors such as material and equipment quality, heat and moisture insulation, ventilation, lighting, and safety.
The necessary electrical installations for a sauna depend on the sauna type and heater capacity. Typically, a 220V or 380V electrical connection is required. Separate circuits should be installed for the heaters and lighting. The energy requirements vary based on the size of the sauna and frequency of use. To ensure energy efficiency, proper insulation and ventilation systems should be used.
The ventilation of a sauna is important to maintain indoor air quality and ensure energy efficiency. There should be separate vents for fresh air intake and the exhaust of used air in the sauna room. Additionally, regularly opening and closing the door also aids in ventilation.
Sauna maintenance and cleaning can vary depending on the type of sauna and frequency of use. Surfaces should be regularly wiped down with a damp cloth, and appropriate wood cleaners should be used for wooden surfaces. Proper ventilation of the sauna room and cleaning of the heater are also important.
The glass used in sauna construction is a special tempered glass that is resistant to temperature changes and high humidity levels. This type of glass is designed to provide low heat transmission and safety. These characteristics of the glass are important in enhancing the energy efficiency and safety of the sauna. Additionally, glass walls and doors also enhance the sauna's aesthetic appearance and spaciousness.
