Sauna Installation can be a nightmare if you do not have an expert hired for the job. It is a critical process that requires skill, knowledge and expertise in the field to ensure you have a perfectly installed sauna for a superior experience. Unlike building a sauna from the scratch, sauna installation is a less time taking the job, however, this nowhere means that it is an easy job. An expert sauna installation has various critical steps which when done right results in a perfect sauna for your home/business.
Sauna Installation Guide
Step 1: Preparing the room
Any room that is going to be converted into a sauna must be prepared for the sauna installation. Things to consider include:
- The wall of the rooms should be a basic structure, i.e. any drywall must be removed.
- The ceiling should be bare joist and the floor must be non-permeable.
- Plywood can be used too but have to make sure there are a few tiles under the sauna heater.
Step 2: installing the wiring
We will then make arrangement for wiring to supply power to light, light switch, sauna heater wire conduit, and any control outside of the sauna.
Step 3: Insulation arrangement to trap more heat
We will use different insulator for interior and exterior walls. Proper insulation is important during sauna insulation to ensure the heat generated in the sauna is trapped inside the sauna for a longer time period. This lowers the operation costs. It also works as a barrier to sound and thus you can have a more sound experience.
Step 4: Installing insulation foil
To boost the insulation factor, we will add foil during the sauna installation process. While it helps in reflecting the heat, the vapour barrier also prevents any steam from entering the walls. While the reflecting heat is good for your sauna experience, the trapped vapour might negatively affect the rest of the house. We as an expert sauna installer always keep in mind these things during the installation process.
Step 5: Cedar panelling
Cedar panels are installed perpendicular to the joist, on all four walls of the sauna. It is important to check the level frequently while panelling the cedar boards.
Step 6: Installing the heater
There are various heaters available: infrared, electric, wood-fired or gas sauna heaters. We will help you choose the best sauna heater for your use. The heater will be installed at the wall or on the floor after marking the right place. The sauna heater installation process may differ from one model to another.
Step 7: Installing the sauna bench
We will then install the sauna bench. Supports will be added for long bench to make it stronger. Sauna lights can be mounted under the bench for wonderful indirect light.
Step 8: Adding the door
Pre-built pre-hung cedar sauna doors are considered the best for saunas and have a number of benefits. With the right tools and techniques, the sauna installation experts will put the door to the hinges and install it to perfection.
Step 9: Installing the flooring panel
Lastly, duckboard will be installed on the entire floor.
