Having an indoor sauna can be your personal oasis for relaxation and wellness! However, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure it’s both safe and enjoyable. Whether you are thinking about purchasing a pre-built sauna kit or building your own cozy retreat, here’s a helpful guide based on our expert experience to assist you.
Installation & Environmental Tips
- Perfect Locations: Think about placing your sauna in a basement, a spacious bathroom, or your home gym—these spots work wonders! Just make sure your floor is waterproof and durable, like tile or concrete.
- Don’t Forget Ventilation: Good airflow is super important! It helps keep the air fresh and allows the wood to dry out between sessions, which prevents any moldy surprises. You’ll want an intake vent near the heater and an exhaust vent on the opposite wall or ceiling.
- Electrical Requirements: Most traditional saunas need a dedicated 240-volt circuit, while some infrared models can run on a simpler 120-volt circuit. Don’t forget to hire a licensed electrician to ensure everything is set up properly and safely!
- Dry vs. Steam: Traditional saunas heat up to between 150 and 190°F and use water on heated rocks to create that lovely steam (known as löyly). On the other hand, infrared saunas operate at cooler temperatures (120 to 140°F) and offer deep, direct heat.
Important Considerations
- Choosing the Right Wood: Cedar, hemlock, or spruce are great options for your sauna. They’re durable, heat-resistant, and won’t give off any sticky resin.
- Budgeting for Your Sauna: Aside from the initial investment (which can range from AED 30,000 to AED 630,000), keep in mind that ongoing costs will depend on the brand and features you select.
- Warranty Matters: Make sure your sauna comes with a solid warranty! Ideally, the heater should be covered for at least two years, and the cabin should have a lifetime warranty.
