Sauna Building Tips

There are many things to consider when choosing to build your own sauna. Firstly let’s look at your choices. You can build from a sauna kit or you can assemble a pre-cut sauna. This is the easiest, even If you only have a few tools and don’t think of yourself as a particularly gifted carpenter you should have no problem building your sauna using a pre-cut sauna kit.

There are pre-built saunas which are also known as modular saunas. The pre-cut saunas are easy to put together. Just make sure when purchasing this type of kit that the individual pieces can get through your doorway. In the event you choose to build a sauna from the ground up then you need more do it yourself skills.

The nest thing you need to consider is how you are going to heat your sauna. You have a choice of electric, wood-burning, gas, or oil heaters. Most people in cities opt for the electric heater. Having the right sauna heater is essential for your sauna experience. The infrared sauna heater does not heat the air, as the other heaters do; instead, it directly heats the body. This causes deeper muscle penetration, less energy use and, many regular sauna users say, greater comfort than the traditional sauna heaters.

The key to building any sauna is location, another thing to consider when building your sauna are the little touches. If you are building a sauna room from scratch, remember not to leave any screws exposed as they become extremely hot during a sauna session which can cause burns. The nice thing like anything else when doing it yourself is that your sauna room can be customized to reproduce your unique personality and preferences.
