Cedar: Finest Sauna Material

kit material
kit material

Saunacore's most popular sauna is the traditional clear western red cedar sauna room. Western red cedar is renowned for its high impermeability to liquids and its natural phenol preservatives. It is ideally suited for exterior and interior use where humidity is high. The cellular composition of cedar - millions of microscopic airfilled cells - provides a high degree of insulation. Cedar's natural oils are the reason it is decay-resistant and rich in colour. This makes Saunacore saunas the best of its kind and most durable.

 

Plans

A genuine Finnish sauna is relatively inexpensive, and it can be built to fit any space or surrounding. The size depends on the number of people likely to use it at the same time. In most cases installation includes: 1) the sauna room; 2) the shower room; and 3) the dressing room. These three rooms should be conveniently arranged. The sizes of the shower and dressing rooms should match the size of the sauna room. Sauna bathing time is divided into the three parts shown above. The longest time is usually spent in the dressing room so this area should be spacious and airy.

Benches

The top bench should be at least 20" wide and 36" from the floor. Benches are placed on wall supports and legs if needed. 2" x 4" cedar with 1/2" space between the boards is recommended. The cubic footage of the sauna room is very important in determining the capacity of the heating unit.


Wall and Ceiling Construction

  1. Existing construction
  2. 2" x 4" studs at 16" centres. Construction grade spruce is suitable
  3. 4" R-12 fibre glass insulation
  4. Aluminum foil facing in
  5. 1" x 3" strapping
  6. 3/4" air space
  7. 1 " x 4" T&G clear cedar. Boards may be placed horizontally or vertically. Nail through the tongue only to conceal nail holes.
  8. 9. The floor can be concrete or non-slippery ceramic tiles with retaining wall. The walking area can be squared with cedar slats.
 

Ventilation

Ventilation in a sauna room is extremely important to achieve the utmost in satisfaction and pleasure. It will also speed up the reheating of the sauna room. Lack of fresh air due to insufficient ventilation or poor management of ventilation can create an uncomfortable feeling. This often results in the symptoms of difficulty in breathing or burning of the skin. The expanded hot air in the sauna contains proportionately less oxygen than the denser atmosphere outside. Bathers sometimes experience faintness

 

unless the air is changed regularly. An amount of fresh air enters each time the door is opened; this is insufficient, however. Normally two ventilators are built into the walls. The diagram shows the proper location of the vent openings. The inlet should be

 

located below the heating unit (or close to it) and the outlet is located on the opposite side, on the ceiling or just below the ceiling.
Recommended ventilation openings are 4" to 6" diameter, depending on the size of the sauna room.
