4 Useful Tips to Plan Your Sauna Rooms
                     4 Useful Tips to Plan Your Sauna Rooms
Are you planning on investing in a genuine Finnish sauna? If yes, then it’s 
certainly affordable and can be designed to match any surrounding or space 
perfectly. Please keep in mind that the size of sauna rooms depends on the 
number of people going to use simultaneously. 
Besides, you should have a look at a few considerations to make the best 
decisions on your sauna room. Here are some of them discussed below:
Consider the ventilation. 
Obviously, sauna rooms are 
specifically installed to 
deliver ultimate pleasure 
and satisfaction. You should 
consider ventilation to 
enhance heating of the 
sauna rooms again. 
Whether a sauna room 
won’t have sufficient 
ventilation or have a poorly 
managed ventilation, it can 
give sauna bathers an 
uncomfortable feeling. As a 
result, sauna bathers can 
find it difficult to breathe or 
even get skin burning 
sensations. 
Though there’s expanded hot air in the sauna rooms, it’s obvious that they must have 
less oxygen than a denser surrounding atmosphere. Even, sauna bathers faint due to 
regular change of  air inside.
Every time a sauna room door is opened, a significant amount of fresh air enters; 
which results in insufficient heating inside. Therefore, considering ventilation for sauna 
rooms makes really sense. 
Generally, there are two ventilators installed into the sauna walls. When it comes to 
installing a sauna room at home, you should keep the inlet below the heating unit. 
Usually, a bottom gap should be maintained in the sauna door and door vent. 
Consider the size of sauna benches. 
Benches are must for sauna rooms. The topmost bench must be of 20” width and 36” 
from the floor. They should be placed on wall supports and legs if required. It’s 
suggested to consider 2” x 4” cedar with 1/2” space between the boards. However, the 
sauna room cubic footage is significant while determining the capacity of the heating 
system. 
Consider the size of a sauna heater. 
Typically, sauna kits are available pre-sized with superior quality heaters for certain 
cubic space; let’s say 7’ ceiling. Keep in mind that you can consider installing two 
sauna heaters, if you have a large size sauna room i.e. over 450 cubic feet.
