SAUNA ROOM
WALL MATERIALS AND INSULATING OF
THE SAUNA ROOM
In a sauna, all heat accumulating wall surfaces (glass and concrete walls, brick, plaster,
etc.) should be insulated in order to use the woodburning stove with optimal output.
This prevents heat loss in the sauna room and overheating of the stove.
The following sauna construction guidelines can help ensure a
well-insulated sauna room:
1.
An insulation layer of 2 - 4" (50-100mm) thickness is installed (foam
insulation boards covered with a vapour barrier foil suit well).
2. Aluminium foil or other reflective material on top of the insulation material
without a vapour barrier. The joints are covered with foil tape.
3.
/₃₂" (10mm) ventilation gap (recommended) is left between the moisture
13
barrier and the lining board with spacers.
4.
/₃₂ -
15
Before installing the lining boards, check for power cables and
reinforcements in the walls that are necessary for equipment installations,
e.g. a sauna bench.
5. To prevent moisture from the floor, the distance between the board and
the floor should be at least 4"(100 mm).
6. There is a minimum ventilation gap of ³/₁₆" (5 mm) between the wall and
ceiling board.
7.
Wooden sauna surfaces can be coated with sauna wax or oil to prevent
dirt being absorbed into the wood.
Ceiling of the sauna room
To optimize the sauna stove's output, the recommended height of the sauna room is
79" - 91" (2000 - 2300 mm). In case of a higher sauna room, it is advisable to lower the
ceiling, thus reducing the volume of the sauna room.
1.
The minimum permissible height of the sauna room for HUUM Flow sauna
stove is 75" (1900 mm).
2.
The distance between the top step of the sauna bench and the ceiling
should be between 44" and 51" (1100 and 1300 mm).
3.
The ceiling of the sauna room should be insulated in the same specification
as the walls.

/₈" (12-16 mm) wooden lining board is suitable for interior finishing.
