2.1. Sauna Room Structure
A. Insulation wool, thickness 50–100 mm. The
sauna room must be insulated carefully so that
the heater output can be kept moderately low.
B. Moisture protection, e.g. aluminium paper.
Place the glossy side of the paper towards the
sauna. Tape the seams with aluminium tape.
C. Vent gap of about 10 mm between the mois-
ture protection and panel (recommendation).
D. Low mass 12–16 mm thick panel board. Before
starting the panelling, check the electric wiring
and the reinforcements in the walls required by
the heater and benches.
E. Vent gap of about 3 mm between the wall and
ceiling panel.

flow through the heater, which may result in
overheating of surrounding materials.
Check that no heating elements can be seen
•
behind the stones. If heating elements can be
seen, rearrange the stones so that the heating
elements are covered completely ( 1.1.).
Also see section 2.1.1.
•
The heater emits smell.
See section 1.2.
•
The hot heater may emphasize odours mixed

in the air that are not, however, caused by the
sauna or the heater. Examples: paint, glue, oil,
seasoning.

F. The height of the sauna is usually 2100–2300 mm.
The minimum height depends on the heater (see
table 2). The space between the upper bench
and ceiling should not exceed 1200 mm.
G. Use floor coverings made of ceramic materials
and dark joint grouts. Particles disintegrating
from the sauna stones and impurities in the
sauna water may stain and/or damage sensitive
floor coverings.
NOTE! Check from the fire authorities which parts
of the firewall can be insulated. Flues which are in
use must not be insulated.
NOTE! Light protective covers which are installed
directly to the wall or ceiling may be a fire risk.
