Are you ready to build your own sauna? At Badstugutta.no, we want to share the insight that ensures that your sauna will be a success. By following these best practices, you can build a sauna that provides unparalleled comfort and enjoyment.
1. Bench construction
A good sauna should have at least one bench that is long enough for you to lie down. This ensures that you can have your whole body in the same temperature zone, which provides a pleasant experience.
2. Placement of the Feet
The optimal position of the feet is above the sauna stove. This is because hot and steaming air rises, and the feet should be above the height of the stones in the oven. If this is not possible, try to get the body as high as possible above the stove.
3. Distance to the sauna oven
Avoid sitting directly next to the sauna heater. The heating elements in electric ovens emit radiant heat which can be uncomfortable. Make sure you have some distance, so that the heat is distributed more evenly and provides a more comfortable experience.
4. Roof form and Door buffer
A flat roof without a slope prevents the formation of vapor pockets that can trap the best warm air. In addition, there should be a gap between the top of the door and the ceiling. This ensures that not all hot air disappears when the door is opened and closed.
5. Ventilation
Good ventilation is essential for a healthy sauna. With electric heaters, an intake air valve and two exhaust valves are recommended. This ensures that fresh air circulates, evens out the temperature and keeps the sauna healthier over time.
6. Sauna stove with High Stone Capacity
Choose a sauna stove with a high stone capacity. Steiner's high thermal capacity ensures even heat, and when water is poured on, softer steam is created. This provides a more comfortable and long-lasting heating experience.
