How To Make A Sauna?

Taking its name from the land and culture in which it developed, sauna means wooden room in Finnish. It is a type of bathroom made of wood, based on the principle of high temperature and low humidity, where the temperature inside is typically between 80 and 95C. While the relative humidity in traditional Finnish saunas where dry heat is used, which Sauna Dekor has been producing for years and has been involved in projects, generally varies between -20, the humidity rate is higher in other sauna types.

Wooden materials are mostly preferred in the design of saunas, which are used for relaxing and resting rather than cleaning a room. Contrary to popular belief, sauna; It is not a type of hammam, but a health room that offers rest and relaxation without the purpose of cleaning, it is a cultural-physical event that regulates the heart, circulation and nervous system.

• Since intense water loss may occur during use, water should be taken from the body before using the sauna. The person can prevent the loss of water during use from harming the body by taking a shower and consuming plenty of water before using it.
• Before using the sauna, clothing and items such as lenses, glasses, jewelry and watches should be removed. You must enter the sauna naked with a towel or swimsuit wrapped around your body.
• It is not suitable to sit directly on wooden benches indoors with high temperature. Before entering the sauna, you should sit on these benches with a towel you can buy.

• In order to regulate the increased body temperature, the person should take a shower again or cool off by entering the pool.
• If you want to take a moisture bath again or relax by massaging the body, after resting for 15-20 minutes, you can re-enter the sauna and use the sauna again for the specified time.
• After using the sauna, it is recommended to rest for about 15-20 minutes in order for the body to adapt to normal weather conditions. After taking a shower and the body has completely cooled down, clothes should be put on.

Saunas, whose numerous benefits have been proven by the scientific world and which make a unique contribution to every part of the body with regular use, can raise the skin temperature up to about 40°C during use. As skin temperature rises the body sweats. Sweat is mostly water and salt, and the rinse afterwards is what leaves skin feeling clean. Rapid and intense temperature increases and decreases in the human body form the main principle of sauna.

As the vessels expand, blood flow accelerates, our organism tries to keep the body temperature constant by cooling the skin and reacts with intense sweating. The skin is purified from dead cells and revitalized. It has a soft and smooth surface. Heavy sweating means water and salt that need replacing afterwards. Regular sauna baths also help the respiratory tract to work more regularly. A sauna bath positively affects the cardiovascular system and blood pressure, and actually provides a stress-free training to the heart and the entire cardiovascular system. Sauna causes an increase in total blood proteins. This increase allows more oxygen to reach the tissues.

Contributing to the widespread use of Spa & Wellness with the international fairs it has attended and the projects it is a part of, Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions is among the leading sauna companies in the sector with its quality materials and correct production techniques.

One of the most curious questions of those who want to add the relaxing effect of the sauna to their living spaces is how much it will cost to have a sauna built. Sauna prices and sauna construction cost; It varies according to the size of the sauna to be built, the amount of materials to be used in the manufacture of the sauna, the quality and properties of the selected material. The range of materials to be used in sauna manufacturing is quite wide. These play a major role in determining sauna prices.

Many different parameters such as the size of the area where the sauna will be installed, the stages of preparation for the application, the logistics cost of the project, material preferences also change the sauna price. For the most accurate information about how much the sauna you want to include in your project will cost, you can contact the Sauna Dekor Spa & Solutions team and benefit from the experience of our expert team.

The first point you should pay attention to when starting the sauna production is the heater selection, which forms the heart of the sauna. The choice of heater to be chosen in accordance with the sauna room to be created and the heating control methods related to it will greatly affect the relaxing and relaxing experience you will receive. The heat ranges of the sauna and the quality of the heating stones are among the design decisions that you should pay attention to when creating your design.

One of the most important criteria is to determine the place where the sauna will be installed. The minimum ceiling height given for a sauna design in Turkey and abroad is 195 cm. If there is no special design request, saunas usually have a ceiling height of 210-240 cm.

One of the most important choices in sauna design is the choice of wood for the seating area and walls. Pine and ayous are the timbers most used in sauna designs in Turkey. According to the design you want in the interior and the cost of the sauna you plan, Sauna Dekor will guide you with its professional team and help you choose the right tree type.

Glass is generally preferred for the sauna door. Choosing a stylish, aesthetic and durable glass door that will adapt to your design provides many years of use as it is resistant to high temperature levels, wet and dry steam fluctuations.

In order to increase the efficiency of the sauna, you should use the rows of seats intensively and minimize the floor space that will be wasted. Maximizing the seating area will also increase the number of people who will use the sauna and allow crowded use.

Some features should be considered when choosing the recommended heating stones for electric heaters. The heating stones to be selected should be resistant to high temperatures and heat fluctuations that will occur in the sauna. It should not form dust and should not emit odors. It is desirable that the heating stones hold the water and do not drip the water and must have the ability to give the sauna sufficient heat.

In order to add the relaxing effect of the sauna to your living spaces, the most important and first step of your sauna manufacturing decision is to correctly determine the area where the sauna will be installed. If it will be located in a house or project, a place where plumbing, heating and electricity can be easily reached should be chosen. For a sauna to be designed outdoors, the location of the sauna should be determined so that the area sits on level ground, away from overhanging trees and running water.

If the area where the sauna will be installed is technically and physically suitable, such as its size and distance to the mechanical installations, the sauna design desired by the user should be started. In which style the sauna room should be made, which type of wood should be preferred, the cost of the materials to be chosen, etc. all this should be determined at this stage according to the imagined design. After the sauna design, the application process is carried out professionally by the Sauna Dekor Spa & Solutions installation team in your home or in the appropriate area of ​​your project.

It is recommended that sauna construction be done by professional and expert teams. Individual sauna construction is also very common in the country and abroad. You can use the following information about sauna construction to bring the tranquility of the sauna to your living spaces:

1. Choose the right place for your sauna. When determining the location of your sauna, do not forget its features (minimum dimensions, proximity to technical systems, flat floor, etc.).
2. Lay the woods that make up the inner frame of the sauna according to standard framing codes. Make sure the stud areas are at each corner. For correct and good ventilation indoors, leave 3 ventilation points according to your door position, heater type and seating arrangement. Determine the area for the seating areas and window areas that you want to create in the design.
3. Insulate your sauna’s frame and ceiling. Although the insulation material is not very important, it is recommended to insulate the inner frame with fiberglass. To keep moisture away from the fiberglass and use your sauna longer, you should add a vapor barrier.
4. Cover the interior with wooden woods that are compatible with your design and that you want to see in your space. Remember to leave space in the ventilation holes. In the meantime, you can make arrangements for lighting elements and technical cables suitable for your design in decoration.
5. Create your sitting areas in the sauna.
6. Install the sauna door. Doors, which are the most preferred glass recently, should be placed and unlocked to open to the outside in order to intervene in a situation that may affect the health of the person inside.
7. Install your preferred sauna heater by following the installation information supplied with the system. Place your lights. Finish the technical application part by placing the sauna stones in the heater.
