Does a Sauna’s Size Matter? Everything You Need to Know

The size of the sauna depends on certain design elements and attached fixtures. It also depends upon your preferences, budget, and how you wish to design the sauna.

Here are a few factors that can affect the sauna’s size.

1. Ceiling Height

It is essential to level the heat in a sauna. When the ceiling is too high, the benches should be raised to cover the difference in the temperature. The standard ceiling height is from 7 inches to 8 inches and the room temperature on the upper bench level is 20 degrees cooler than the rest of the area. So, when you choose a SaunaCore Sauna your need to discuss the height with the consultants so they can customize it accordingly.

2. Vents

Vents in a sauna allow a fresh supply of air and exhaust the warm air inside the sauna. It is located on the ceiling or a high wall to allow proper ventilation. Outdoor saunas don't require vents as they experience heat-loss due to the external environment.

3. Flooring

The flooring of your SaunaCore sauna must be water-resistant and it is usually made above concrete, tile, or linoleum. This prevents bacteria buildup on the floor and improves sanitation during your sauna session.

4. Electrical Components

SaunaCore has licensed electrical work done inside the structure and provides a proper wire and breaker size chart to their workers that complies with the National Electric Code. This increases the safety of the electrical fixtures and wiring in the sauna.

5. Insulation

SaunaCore’s insulation can also affect the heating time and efficiency of the sauna. Ceilings are insulated, so the higher the ceiling the less heat will be lost. In addition to that, if the ceiling is lower you can customize the insulation with foil vapor which is available with the sauna kits.

6. Lighting

Lighting will also be increased for a larger sauna, which would increase your energy bills. You can choose wall-mounted lights or ceiling-mounted lights to suit your mood while experiencing the sauna session.

7. Benching

Benching requires capacity and depends on how many people want to use the sauna at the same time. SaunaCore has options of up to a 9-person sauna so you can enjoy it with all your family and friends.

8. Location of Your Sauna

It also depends on how much space you have inside the house or in your backyard. Saunas can be installed anywhere, and you can measure the space available at your house and then buy one that fits in it.
