Preparation before purchasing a sauna ！

1.What kind of foundation does a wooden sauna need ?

Outdoor wooden sauna roomSmooth and Stable: The foundation must be flat, solid, and stable to ensure that the sauna can be safely placed on it. If the ground is uneven, filling, grading, or excavation may be necessary to achieve the required foundation conditions.
Good Drainage: The foundation should have good drainage to prevent moisture from accumulating around the sauna. Make sure the foundation is designed with a sufficient slope to allow rainwater to drain away and to avoid water soaking into the sauna floor or timber structure.
Anti-corrosion and moisture-proof: Considering the special environment of the sauna room, the foundation should take anti-corrosion and moisture-proof measures to prevent the wood from getting damp, rotting or other damage. The foundation can be protected using waterproofing materials, moisture-proof membranes or other protective measures.
Proper load bearing capacity: The foundation must be able to withstand the weight and load of the sauna. Make sure the design and material selection of the foundation accommodates the size, weight and structural requirements of the sauna. If necessary, seek the advice of a professional architect or engineer to ensure the foundation meets requirements.

Indoor wooden sauna roomSmooth and stable: The foundation must be flat, solid, and able to withstand the weight and load of the sauna. Make sure the floor is flat and has no uneven spots so that the sauna can be placed stably on it.
Moisture-resistant and waterproof: Due to the high humidity in the sauna, the foundation needs to be moisture-resistant and waterproof. A moisture-proof membrane or waterproof coating can be used to protect the foundation and prevent moisture from penetrating and damaging the floor.
Good drainage system: The foundation of the indoor sauna room needs to have a good drainage system to ensure that moisture around the sauna room can be effectively removed and prevent water from soaking into the foundation or sauna room structure.
Insulating Protection: Because of the high temperatures and humidity that a sauna generates, the foundation needs to have insulating protection to prevent heat and moisture from penetrating into the structure or floor below.

 

2. What electrical requirements do I need for your saunas ?

Depending on the size and type of sauna you plan on purchasing, different electrical requirements will be needed.
If you opt for a traditional model, you need to prepare 220v socket with 40AMPS in advance. All of our traditional sauna heaters /steamers are hardwired and must be connected directly to the electrical line.
If you opt for an infrared sauna, you need to prepare 220v hard wires breaker with 20AMPS in advance.If you opt for a dual-system model, you need to prepare 220v socket with 30AMPS in advance.
Since the specific power of each sauna is different, the above values are for reference only. If you want to know the accurate value, you need to divide the power of the sauna you purchased by the voltage to get the current value of the circuit breaker.
