Here are some basic principles and tips to consider in planning your sauna.

- The interior of your sauna has a timber finish. Our range of suitable timber for sauna use includes Nordic Spruce, Western Red Cedar or Heat Treated Aspen.

- The ceiling inside your sauna should be 2100mm above the floor.

- The minimum distance for a sauna ceiling is 1900mm.

- Every sauna requires ventilation. For more information see Sauna Ventilation

- A sauna has two tiered benches in a step format. The bottom bench is at approx. 450mm above floor level, with the top tier bench at 900mm. The average width of each bench ranges between 450-600mm.

- The sauna door must open outwards. Sauna doors also operate with either a roller catch or door closer. Locks or a standard handle and latch are not permitted on sauna doors.

- Sauna heaters work on cubic volume. The floor area for domestic and small commercial saunas should not exceed 6m2. This allows the installation of a wall mounted sauna heater.

- All sauna heaters regardless of size must be hard wired on their own dedicated circuit.

- The light inside your sauna should be installed below 1700mm above floor level. The switch for the light must be outside the sauna.

- A tap inside your sauna is useful to fill up the water bucket. A floor waste is also recommended for the floor in the sauna.

- The most suitable floor inside the sauna is tile. We also recommend a skirting tile approx 100mm high around the inside perimeter of the sauna.
