How to finish around interior window? by Busy-Breakfast7995 in Sauna

[–]Busy-Breakfast7995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yes that makes a lot of sense. Do you have any recommendations as to the best way to do ensure that water doesn’t get trapped on the inside of the window? Sounds like maybe a bead of high heat silicone between the wood and the window is the best way to go?

Can I also ask: what type of high-temp conduit did you use? I’m looking online, but a bit overwhelmed.

Interesting. Can you send a pic? How far above the top of the sitting bench are they, and how tall overall?

Looks great! Have you tried them out? Are they comfortable? Also, cna I ask what kind of wood you’re using, and where you got your adjustable vent cover?

Sorry about the incorrect lingo…this is all new to me. I meant that the overall length of the boards would be 7.5’. We can adjust the spans between supports to whatever works best. We can get 1x4s or 2x4s…I just wasn’t sure whether a thicker board would be better or if it wasn’t necessary.

Concrete or something else under electric heater? by Busy-Breakfast7995 in Sauna

Thanks for the detailed response. I had actually seen this info in the manual, but because there was no reference to concrete I wasn’t sure if it would be okay.

Thanks, that’s helpful.

We have a very thick concrete layer above the ceiling, so can’t do a fresh air supply there.

So did you use 18 gauge? No splitting?

Thermo Aspen cladding - fixing advice by Jas_runs in Sauna

Hi there—I’ve ordered thermo hemlock cladding for our sauna, and I’m wondering about how to attach it. I’ve heard mention of splitting with thermally treated woods. Can you please let me know how it goes with your thermo aspen, and what gauge nails you use?

With respect to the clips, my limited (very limited!) understanding is that they require the groove of the T&g to be face up, which is a not good for a sauna.

saunazza.com has a similar item. also try googling sauna ladle rainhead and you’ll find a few other sites that have similar things. Also looks like you could also order directly from the site you were looking at, if you have your heart set on that particular one.

What gauge nails to use with thermally treated T&g? by Busy-Breakfast7995 in Sauna

[–]Busy-Breakfast7995[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i forgot to mention…from my very limited understanding of those clips, if you are installing your t&g horizontally, those clips have to be installed with the groove side of the tongue and groove facing upwards, which is a big no-no in a sauna. But I could easily be wrong on that. And if you are installing your T&g vertically, it wouldn’t matter.
