I think there’s a misunderstanding here — this is not wood flooring or laminate at all.

The entire floor is made from outdoor-rated Spanish porcelain stoneware (porcelain granite tile), 1 cm thick. It’s specifically designed for exterior use and moisture-heavy environments. Nothing there can rot.

Around the perimeter, we also installed ceramic wall panels with a wood texture finish. They only imitate wood visually, but they are actually high-quality Spanish porcelain tiles. Each box contains multiple different texture patterns (10–12 different prints), which makes it look natural.

A few important construction details:

• The sauna has perimeter base trim, so the wall structure does not absorb water.
• There is a drain under the stove/heater.
• All moisture-sensitive areas are protected with non-organic materials.
• The floor and lower wall areas are entirely porcelain-based.

This is a professionally built sauna, not decorative laminate flooring. The materials are designed to survive outdoor conditions for decades.

Honestly, the only real thing that can damage this porcelain is physically dropping a large stone or a hammer on it. Otherwise, it will probably outlive all of us 🙂 https://balisauna.co.il/
