UAE-Compliant Engineering

Every installation is engineered to DEWA, Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence requirements — including Trakhees compliance for free-zone developments.

In-House Manufacturing

From 3D design and technical documentation to custom marble and sauna timbers (ayous, aspen, low-resin pine) — one team from concept to handover, backed by a 24-month warranty on workmanship and manufacturing, 24-month manufacturer's warranty on electrical and mechanical equipment and 5 years on structure and waterproofing.

Who approves what

Electrical load and water connection go through DEWA — Dubai Electricity and Water Authority PJSC. Fire and life safety is the General Command of Dubai Civil Defence, working to the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice. Dubai Municipality publishes a guideline aimed squarely at our trade — Technical Guidelines (19) for Compliance of Spa and Massage Centers (DM-HSD-GU19) — plus GU34 for swimming pool plan approval and GU80/GU81 for private and public pool safety. On Palm Jumeirah and the other PCFC development zones the regulator is Trakhees instead, whose guideline LD-RC-G08 sets the health requirements for massage, relaxation and spa premises. Getting the right one of those two on the cover sheet saves weeks.

Dubai water is soft, not hard — and that changes the spec

The Gulf limescale story is mostly wrong for Dubai. DEWA's own published Jebel Ali Power Station potable water specification gives typical total hardness of 60.7 mg/L as CaCO₃ against a 40–120 spec band, with TDS of 254 mg/L. That sits below the softening threshold of every major steam-generator manufacturer bar one, so on municipal supply the scaling risk is small. The real risk runs the other way: WHO's guidance notes that soft water below roughly 100 mg/L hardness has a greater tendency to corrode pipework, and desalinated water is poorly buffered and aggressive to metals and cementitious materials. So we spend the specification effort on material selection in the wet plant rather than on descaling. One exception matters: a villa on a private borehole is a different water entirely — even DEWA's own emergency wells run around 1,500 mg/L TDS. We establish which supply the building is on before we specify anything.

Size the chiller to Dubai's number, not the catalogue's

ASHRAE's 0.4% summer design dry-bulb for Dubai International is 43.3 °C, with a 30.4 °C design wet-bulb. Dubai's own mandated basis is higher: the DHA Health Facility Guidelines set 46 °C DB / 29 °C WB for cooling-load calculation as per Dubai Municipality, and 47.6 °C DB for selecting air-cooled equipment. A 4 °C plunge held through an August afternoon on a Dubai rooftop is a completely different duty from the same pool in Munich — a chiller selected at 35 °C ambient will not hold setpoint, and the high-ambient option is not available on every unit size.

Name the sauna, not just "sauna"

A Dubai brief that says only "sauna" hides four different rooms, and they are not priced alike. A Finnish sauna is a stone-heater cabin at 80–100 °C on an EOS or Harvia heater, sized with a correction for the glazed area. A bio sauna runs cooler on a combi heater with an integrated evaporator and needs a water and drainage interface. An infrared sauna uses carbon or full-spectrum quartz emitters, draws far less power and does not carry the six-to-eight air-change requirement. A hybrid sauna runs both modes in one cabin on a single control strategy, and a panoramic glass sauna puts a full-glass façade on the room, which moves the heater sizing and the bench geometry rather than only the look. Cladding is named by species and grade — thermally modified aspen, alder, kiln-dried abachi (ayous) — because coastal humidity on the Palm and along the creek is what ages a bench. Sauna Dekor manufactures all five formats in its own Istanbul factory and installs them across Dubai; the local detail is in our sauna Dubai guide. What the room costs in Dubai, and what drives the number, is set out in our sauna cost in Dubai guide.
