Comparison
Operating ranges of the rooms we build. A Finnish sauna is the hottest and driest; a steam room and a hammam run cooler with far more moisture; cold rooms close the circuit.
| Room | Temperature | Humidity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finnish sauna | 80–100 °C | 10–20 % RH (dry air) | Homes, hotels, gyms |
| Bio sauna | 50–65 °C | — | Lower heat, longer sessions |
| Infrared cabin | 45–60 °C cabin air | — | Small rooms, lower power |
| Steam room | 40–50 °C | Close to 100 % RH | Hotel spas, villas |
| Turkish hammam | Room air 40–50 °C; heated platform 40–45 °C | — | Hotel spas, villas |
| Cold plunge pool | Water 2–15 °C | — | After the sauna |
| Snow room | About −10 °C | — | Hotel and club thermal suites |

A hotel spa and a residential suite can share the same equipment list; they do not share the same project. What separates them is not the name of the room but how many times a day it heats up and cools down. If the cabin stays hot from morning to night, the heater, the timber and the ventilation come from a different class; if it heats in the evening and cools by morning, the calculation changes from the start. Below are the six points we check one by one when we prepare a quote.
In a commercial spa the room stays hot all day; at home it heats up and cools down. The number of heating cycles is what sets the life of the timber and the joints.
A heater that runs all day has to be a commercial-rated unit, and the manufacturer's rating decides which one fits. A residential unit in a hotel is the wrong choice.
A commercial wet area needs a ventilation rate sized to the load and corrosion-resistant ducting. A home carries less load, but the drain and the floor falls get the same care.
A hotel spa cannot close when a steam generator fails. At home a fault is an inconvenience; in a hotel it is lost revenue, and the design decision follows from that.
A commercial facility is inspected by third parties: electrics, fire safety, hygiene and water quality are documented separately.
Steam generators need descaling at intervals set by the water hardness. In a hotel the schedule is written into the service contract; at home it runs on reminders.
Wherever water falls, the waterproofing is the job of the layer under the finish, not the surface you see: a membrane over a wedi board core in a steam room, a continuous layer under the screed and up the walls in a hammam, and a closed circuit with the overflow channel and the balance tank in a pool. A water-hold test is run and photographed before tiling. A sauna has no liquid waterproofing; there the same care goes into the floor drain and the taped joints of the vapour barrier. It is the same in a villa and in a hotel.
The sequence works whichever rooms you build: shower, heat, cold, rest. The heat can be a sauna or a hammam; the cold can be a shock shower, an ice fountain or a plunge pool held at 2–15 °C. What does not change is the distance: the cold belongs at the exit of the hot room, a few steps away, not across the spa. The rest area is part of the sequence, not whatever space is left over.
Every room has a machine side that the plan does not show. The steam generator sits in a dry, ventilated space close to the steam nozzle. The sauna control panel sits outside the cabin, on the dry side. A pool needs its own plant room for the pump, sand filter, heater, dosing and balance tank. A cold plunge chiller gives off heat and noise, so it goes into a plant space with its own ventilation. If the architectural plan has no room for this, finding it is part of the design.
Every unit that heats or cools needs its own circuit: the sauna heater, the steam generator and the chiller each on a separate line, the hammam heating with its own control. Lighting in wet areas is rated for wet areas; in a steam room the fittings sit above the ceiling slope, away from the drip line. Control panels sit on the dry side, not inside the room, so a service visit does not wait for the room to cool.

FAQ
We work in the Gulf, coordinated from our Dubai office at Latifa Tower, in Africa (around 16 countries), in the Turkic republics (Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan) and in the US, as well as countries such as Costa Rica. Since 1987 we have completed 5,000+ projects in 41+ countries, including 577+ hotel and resort projects.
Yes. Sauna cabins, benches, hammam elements and steam room enclosures are made in our own facility in İkitelli OSB, Istanbul, and installed by our own teams. Heaters, steam generators and controls are bought from their manufacturers.
Mainly EOS and Sentiotec sauna heaters and controls, Condair steam generators, wedi waterproofing systems, Andres glass doors, TechnoAlpin snow-making equipment and Wellis hot tubs. These are the manufacturers' products and carry the manufacturers' certificates; we select, size and install them.
The rooms built, tested and commissioned: temperature, humidity and airflow are measured, the staff are trained and a handover file with drawings and the warranty terms is delivered. The warranty is a 24-month warranty on workmanship and manufacturing, a 24-month manufacturer's warranty on electrical and mechanical equipment and a 5-year warranty on structure and waterproofing.
Yes, in Latifa Tower, World Trade Centre, Dubai. Projects in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha and the wider Gulf are coordinated from there; manufacturing stays in Istanbul.
A custom sauna is priced from its drawings rather than from a catalogue, so the scope has to be fixed before any figure means anything. The variables that move a budget most are the number of rooms and their internal volume, the heater load and the electrical supply it needs, how much tanking and waterproofing sits behind the finishes, the ventilation rate and where the ducts and plant can run, the plant room area available for the equipment, the timber and marble specification, and whether the mechanical and electrical interface is in our scope or the main contractor's. Once the room schedule, the built area and that interface are agreed, we issue a priced scope against them.
A complete custom sauna project, including manufacturing and installation, depends on scope: about 2 weeks for a single sauna and up to 6 months for large projects. Sauna Dekor's process covers engineering and design, custom manufacturing at our Istanbul facility, and on-site installation. Hotel spas and other large projects are programmed after the site survey.
Yes. Sauna Dekor designs, manufactures and installs custom saunas, hammams and steam rooms in 41+ countries. Manufacturing is at our own facility in Istanbul, and installation is carried out in our scope alongside the local main contractor. Our offices are in Istanbul (headquarters), Dubai, Bodrum, Monheim am Rhein (Germany) and Boston, with representative offices in Haarlem (Netherlands) and Doha (Qatar), and we work with residential clients, hotels, resorts and wellness facilities across the Middle East, Europe, North America and Asia.
A Finnish sauna operates at 80-100°C with low humidity (10-20%), using dry heat from heated stones. A steam room runs cooler at 40-50°C but with 100% humidity, generated by a steam generator. Sauna Dekor designs both, often as combined wellness suites for spa and residential projects.
Sauna Dekor builds its saunas mainly in ayous, thermo ayous, aspen, thermo aspen, low-resin pine and thermo pine. Benches and backrests are made in ayous or aspen; low-resin pine and thermo pine are used on walls and ceilings. Hemlock, red cedar, alder and spruce are available on request. Stones include Finnish olivine and peridotite. For hammams we use marble, travertine and Turkish glass mosaic, with all materials selected for durability in a wet, high-temperature environment.
Every Sauna Dekor installation carries a 24-month warranty on workmanship and manufacturing, a 24-month manufacturer's warranty on electrical and mechanical equipment and a 5-year warranty on structure and waterproofing. Our team offers ongoing maintenance, replacement parts, and technical support through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and Boston, ensuring long-term performance for residential and commercial projects.
Yes. Sauna Dekor designs and manufactures hammams for hotels, resorts and commercial spas.

In the Netherlands (Haarlem) and Qatar (Doha), Sauna Dekor is represented by representative offices; these are not our own offices or showrooms.
