Love to steam in the sauna, but don't have enough timeand the strength to go somewhere? Now you can avoid long trips and appointments 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 available only in a country house, you say. This is not entirely true. Today, with all the variety in the construction and materials market, the installation of a sauna in an apartment has become available. So, every second Finnish family, living in multi-storey 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 kinds of saunas that can be installed inUsual apartment: wooden with an electric stove-heater and a ready infrared cabin from the manufacturer. Of course, it will be difficult for them to compare with a spacious country sauna, but at home they will become a "lifebuoy" for lovers to warm up properly. 
What to choose?
Regulate humidity, use wet ordry steam, control the temperature by choosing different modes, and pouring water on the stones will only be possible in a wooden sauna. But given the plans for typical apartments, to accommodate such a miracle, you will have to make 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, upholstered on the outside with heat-insulating material with a hermetically closing door. The electric spiral stove 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. We can proceed from the fact that two square meters of area will need 2 kW, and the permissible rate for saunas is 4.5 kW. 
With all its virtues and chic, woodensaunas are expensive, energy-consuming, and the internal cladding, according to fire safety requirements, must be made of deciduous trees. Spruce or pine gives off resin, which, according to experts, can lead to spontaneous combustion. Therefore, ready-made infrared cabins can be an excellent modern alternative. Possessing the same properties, they consume no more energy than an ordinary 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 buyers are making a choice in favor of just such saunas. 
How to equip a sauna in an apartment
Infrared saunas are still very comfortable due tothat can fit in almost any apartment. A standard single-seat cab is usually meter by meter, so it will require approximately 1.1mx 1.2m of free space to install. All that is required of you is an ordinary 220-volt electrical outlet, because an infrared sauna is a household electrical appliance. No permissions are required for its installation in the apartment, plus it is fireproof. When space permits, you can pamper yourself with a three-seater or even a four-seater cabin. If the infrared cabin does not suit you, and you want to install or make an ordinary sauna with your own hands, then keep in mind that the legislation does not welcome such an "improvement" of the apartment. Get ready to put in a huge effort and also spend a lot of time to get all the permits. By the way, according to the law, a home sauna is available only to residents of monolithic and brick houses. And once again, we remind you: materials such as spruce and pine do not suit the fire inspection.
