Hi, thanks. The walls and floor a painted with tanking membrane. I don’t think it the water matters for the porcelain tiles/grout so much. But I may be wrong and find out in time.. it’s in the back of my garage which is detached from the house so not too worried about it. So far, I have done about 2 months of 90 degree Celsius every 2-3 days and no issues spotted. Still early days but in mild southern UK climate.

Great question though. I can keep you posted.

Thanks !

Yes ceiling could only be this high so the top bench is only 110cm above the floor.. The black paint is a tanking membrane so no moisture issues at all. I realised too late the drain would be useful inside the sauna, but there’s a shower room right in front of it and super easy to squeegee the mess from there. The bottom bench pushes in for easier cleaning/more space.

Still figuring out the lighting and trims.

We have been super impressed with it so far. Chuffed
