Do you like to go to the sauna, but don’t have enough time?and the strength to go somewhere? Now you can avoid long trips and appointment procedures by simply installing a sauna right in your apartment or house. We will tell you in detail about all the important points It is easy to list all the advantages of a sauna: a powerful immunomodulator, a means for losing weight and removing toxins, preventing colds, and, of course, incomparable complete relaxation. But all this is only available in a country house, you will say. This is not entirely true. Today, with all the diversity in the construction and materials market, installing a sauna in an apartment has become available. Thus, every second Finnish family, living in multi-story buildings, has a steam room in their apartments. How to do this - we will now try to figure it out.
Types of saunas
There are two types of saunas that can be installed.in a regular apartment: a wooden one with an electric stove and a ready-made infrared cabin from the manufacturer. Of course, it will be difficult for them to compare with a spacious country bathhouse, but at home they will become a "lifeline" for those who like to warm up well.
What to choose?
Regulate humidity, use dampor dry steam, control the temperature by choosing different modes, and pour water on the stones will be possible only in a wooden sauna. But given the plans of typical apartments, to accommodate such a miracle, you will have to make a redevelopment, because it cannot be installed in living rooms. The design of such a steam room is very simple - it is a wooden frame filled with insulation, covered with heat-insulating material on the outside with a hermetically sealed door. A stove with an electric coil is made of special stones that do not crack when exposed to high temperatures and do not burn oxygen. Such saunas come in various types and shapes, the main thing is to correctly calculate your needs and the energy consumption of the stove. You can proceed from the fact that for two square meters of area you will need 2 kW, and the permissible norm for saunas is 4.5 kW.
With all their advantages and chic, woodenSaunas are expensive, energy-consuming, and the interior paneling must be made of deciduous trees according to fire safety requirements. Spruce or pine emit resin, which, according to experts, can lead to spontaneous combustion. Therefore, ready-made infrared cabins can be an excellent modern alternative. Having the same properties, they consume no more energy than a regular washing machine, and different sizes and shapes will allow you to choose an option even for small apartments without any redevelopment. They have a relatively affordable price of $ 2,000, and more and more often buyers choose these saunas.
How to equip a sauna in an apartment
Infrared saunas are also very comfortable due tothat can fit in almost any apartment. A standard single cabin usually measures one meter by one meter, so its installation requires approximately 1.1 m x 1.2 m of free space. All that is required of you is a regular 220-volt electrical outlet, because an infrared sauna is a household appliance. No permits are required for its installation in an apartment, plus it is fireproof. If space allows, you can treat yourself to a three- or even four-seater cabin. If an infrared cabin does not suit you and you want to install or make a regular sauna with your own hands, then keep in mind that the law does not welcome such an “improvement” of an apartment. Be prepared to put in a lot of effort and spend a lot of time to obtain all the permits. By the way, according to the law, a home sauna is available only to residents of monolithic and brick houses. And let us remind you once again: materials such as spruce and pine do not satisfy the fire inspection.
