SAUNA ROOM LAYOUT SUGGESTIONS

1. Plan the room size

DECIDE THREE LAYOUT COMPONENTS

• DOOR: Choose a location for the 24” wide door and determine the swing. The door swings out of the sauna. As you stand outside the sauna looking at the door, determine which side the hinges should be on.
• HEATER: Choose a location for the 24” wide wall area for the wall heater. This includes the necessary air space required for heater guardrail. The best location for the heater is on the door wall.
• BENCHES: Choose the location for the benches. High and low benches can be standard 18” wide or wider or narrower in 2”-3” increments.  A low bench can be the optional double-wed and continue under the high bench for complete comfort. Bench facing or duckboard under benches are optional.

2. SHEETROCK

Check local code to determine if required.

3. VAPOR BARRIER

Thermo-foil or equivalent is suggested to control moisture and condensation.

4. VENTING

Venting is suggested and necessary for the operation of some heaters.
