If the sauna is located close to buildings or integrated into the terrace, you must ensure that the

chimney is sufficiently removed from all flammable structures. You should remember to check the

distance both in the vertical and horizontal direction to ensure there is no danger of ignition. Fol-

low the instructions provided with the sauna heater. In addition, we recommend that you check

the fire safety regulations of your residential area from the local fire or building authority. In Fin-

land, the distance from the neighbour's border must be at least 4 m, unless the neighbour has

given their written consent to build the structure closer. The distance between the sauna and the

nearby buildings should be 8 m.

There must not be any flammable material in front of the sauna heater. There must be an area

with non-combustible material (fireproof sheet), such as a metal sheet, in front of a wood-burn-

ing sauna heater.

When the sauna heater is heated for the first time after winter, the heating should be done

carefully by only lighting a small fire to ensure that the firebox or flue of the sauna heater are

not damaged. We recommend keeping fire extinguishing equipment close to the sauna. Ashes

should be removed from the sauna heater regularly, preferably after each use. The fire grates

last longer and draught remains good when the sauna heater is well cared for. Do not forget to

empty the ashes into a non-combustible container and let them cool for approximately one day.
