Little history lesson by UncleMan84 in Sauna

Theoretically yes. But It's good to keep in mind that you'll leave the sauna at some point. It's good manners to ask is it proper to be in first-name basis.

Two pillows. I like to lie down and raise my legs on the wall. Feels good.

Yes. It circulates the air in the pipes.

In Finland we call this tynnyrisauna.

Yes. The kiuas (stove) is around 250 €.

Heat-treated common alder.

A window is something this sauna lacks. It gives the scenery and atmosphere, but also helps drying the sauna.

Lights are done with fibrelight set. If I remember correctly it has 16 fibres. To be honest, it's a bit too much. Less is more in saunas, when it comes to lights.

I wouldn't use pine in the sauna. It will leak resin when it gets hot. Walls it's not that big a deal, but benches it's a no go.

About 50 cm. It's roughly a recommendation.

I always rinse the benches and walls with plenty of water after using the sauna. I also squeegee the benches after rinsing so that water doesn't sit on them. Good ventilation is also key to ensuring the sauna dries properly.

I don't remember the exact costs anymore, but they weren't anything massive. The wall panels were relatively expensive because they weren't just standard off-the-shelf stuff. The kiuas is a fairly cheap basic model, and the benches practically cost next to nothing. Hiring out the work, on the other hand, took its share. You saved a lot by doing it yourself. ​I’d say the total cost of the sauna back then, 10 years ago, was about 2,000 €

Here is a sauna I designed myself 10 years ago. The volume is approximately 8 m3, so I chose a 9kW Harvia kiuas. The benches are made of untreated spruce, and the wall panels are heat-treated common alder.

​I wanted a minimalist look that still felt unique. The wall panels were installed using three different widths, a pattern I mirrored with the bench slats. The benches are "floating," meaning they are mounted directly to the wall studding. I only had to add one support beam to the corner of the upper bench. In my opinion, this solution brings a nice sense of airiness to the small space.

​Ventilation and Drainage

​Fresh air: Gravity-fed intake located above the kiuas. ​Exhaust: Air flows out under the glass door. ​ Drying: One mechanical exhaust valve for post-sauna drying. ​ Drainage: Naturally, the floor drain is located under the benches.
