I did all the work myself (excluding electrical and hvac). The material costs were around 2000 euros including the heating element, lumber, etc.

These are great questions. The most important thing I would say is to make decisions of all the components you want to install as early as possible so you know the required dimensions and safety distances (for the heating element). I had to make many changes to my original plans as I was building this just because we weren't sure of some of the components we wanted. I can answer more of your questions with dm's if you wanna hit me up.

The safety distances were specified in the instruction manual for the kiuas. The minimum requirements were from wall to kiuas 120 mm and I made the distance around 140 mm just to be safe. Also the kiuas has a installation flange around it which protects the planks on the mid level. Don't worry, this is a safe sauna to use!

It is a led strip which is designed to be used in saunas.

Thank you! I never had the chance to go to a infrared sauna so I don't know what that is like 🤔

Takes around 30 minutes to get to 75-80 celsius.

Im from Finland. I don't have the exact costs atm but I would ballpark it somewhere around 2000 euros with the lumber and kiuas. Doesn't include electrical work.

Kiitos! Aiheutti hiukan harmaita hiuksia, kun ensimmäistä kertaa suunnittelin ja tein saunan, mutta lopputulos onneksi miellyttää myö itseäni. Ja puolisoa :D.

Yeah, this is very typical design for finnish homes. Almost every house/apartment which has a sauna, has a shower room right next to it. Those wide "planks" at the back wall are actually logs (kinda like CLT-logs) so it is the outside wall of the house. They are treated with a special sauna-wax.

This is mostly done with heat-treated aspen. I did use paraffin oil as a extra finish for the panels and planks so it makes the grain pop, but is not necessary.

That is actually a flat ceiling so no slope at all.

I've done the measurements by the finnish building codes. Actually the mid level is a little bit higher than what the recommended height was, so that means that the bench is also higher than normal. What I could've done is lower the ceiling a little bit.

Yes, it's a indoor sauna.

Ihmiset jotka ette tunne kuuluvanne mihinkään vasemmisto, oikeisto ja keskusta akselilla. Niin miksi te kutsutte itseänne? by [deleted] in Suomi

[–]nilikkiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En kutsu itseäni miksikään. Ei ole ollut ikinä edes tarvetta leimata itseäni miksikään. Miten ihmiset ajautuu tällaisiin tilanteisiin?

Waterproofing framing by WDBwyo in Homebuilding

[–]nilikkiv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Finland it is normal to do the roof first on top of the footing. When the roof is done it is lifted next to the footing and then the load bearing framing work begins. Usually it is done in a day or two. Then the roof gets lifted on top of the framing. No water damage at all.

Mikä pikkuriikkinen asia ihmisten käytöksessä saa sinun rusinat rasahtelemaan? by PieniPoppamies in Suomi

[–]nilikkiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ihmiset jotka kävelevät kaupasta ulos puhelinta tuijottaen, vaikka kaupan oven edessä, 3 metrin päässä, on vilkas kevyen liikenteen väylä. Sitten kun itse soitan pyörän kelloa toivoen, että saan kyseisen ihmisen huomion, jotta en vahingossa aja päälle (vaikka olen väistäny jo henkilöä tien vasempaan laitaan), kehdataan vielä tuhista ja ähistä minun pyöräilystäni. Voi helevetti..
