Sauna room structure The sauna and its ceiling, in particular, should have good thermal insulation, as heat tends to escape through the ceiling. Due to the moisture, we recommend that you use aluminium paper. The size of the heater should be selected according to the size of the sauna (in cubic metres). In addition to calculating the power need for the regular sauna structure (glass wool–foil–wood), the following should be taken into consideration. If the sauna has any uninsulated wood, tile or concrete surfaces or the walls are made of logs, the heater power needs to be increased. For every uninsulated square metre, the heater power need increases by the same amount as if increasing the space volume by 1.2 m and on timber...
