Sauna Room

See WARNINGS AND NOTES!
See TECHNICAL DATA!

Sauna room structure

A. Insulation wool, thickness 50–100 mm. The sauna room must be insulated carefully so that the heater output can
be kept moderately low.
B. Moisture protection, e.g. aluminium paper. Place the glossy side of the paper towards the sauna. Tape the seams
with aluminium tape.
C. Vent gap of about 10 mm between the moisture protection and panel (recommendation).
D. Low mass 12–16 mm thick panel board. Before starting the panelling, check the electric wiring and the
reinforcements in the walls required by the heater and benches.
E. Vent gap of about 3 mm between the wall and ceiling panel.
F. The height of the sauna is usually 2100–2300 mm. The minimum height depends on the heater (>Technical data).
The space between the upper bench and ceiling should not exceed 1200 mm.
G. Use floor coverings made of ceramic materials and dark joint grouts. Particles disintegrating from the sauna stones
and impurities in the sauna water may stain and/or damage sensitive floor coverings.
NOTE! Check from the fire authorities which parts of the firewall can be insulated.
Flues which are in use must not be insulated.
NOTE! Light protective covers which are installed directly to the wall or ceiling may be a fire risk.
NOTE! Make sure that the water dripping onto the sauna floor enters the floor drain.

Heater Output

When the walls and ceiling are covered with panels and insulation behind the panels is adequate, the heater output is
defined according to the volume of the sauna. Non-insulated walls (brick, glass block, glass, concrete, tile, etc.) increase
the need for heater output. Add 1,2 m³ to the volume of the sauna for each non-insulated wall square meter. For
example, a 10 m³ sauna room with a glass door equals the output requirement of about a 12 m³ sauna room. If the
sauna room has log walls, multiply the sauna's volume by 1,5. Choose the correct heater output > Technical data
