Floor of the sauna room
The heater stones in use crumble due to temperature changes.
The pieces and pebbles breaking away from the heater stones are
washed on the sauna's floor with the steam-making water. Hot stone
parts may damage plastic flooring under and near the heater.
Heater stone particles and sprays from the steam-making water (e.g.,
with iron content) may absorb into the light joints of a tile floor. In
order to avoid aesthetic damage (caused by the reasons mentioned
above), ceramic tiles and dark joint filler should be used under and
around the heater.
Ventilation of the sauna
•
In order to guarantee a sufficient supply of oxygen and fresh
air, the sauna's ventilation must be as efficient as possible. It is
advisable to direct the fresh air into the sauna room from above
the heater stones.
•
As an alternative, the fresh air may be directed in from under the
heater.
•
The air inlet must be equipped with an adjustable valve.
•
The exhaust valve must be installed in the opposite wall from the
inlet valve at least 20 cm above the height of the inlet valve.
•
It is advised to install a ventilation valve at the upper part of the
sauna room for the final ventilation.
