Build a Sauna
In general, saunas can be divided into two groups, dry and steam saunas. Depending on whether you want to build a dry sauna or a steam sauna, the job process has different stages. It should be noted that dry sauna is the most famous type of sauna in the world and whenever the word sauna is used alone, it means dry sauna.
Making a dry sauna
A dry sauna is a wooden room in which the human body is exposed to high temperatures and low humidity. The high humidity under the dry sauna makes it tolerable for humans to tolerate its high temperature.
Steps to build a dry sauna
The first step in building a dry sauna is to prepare the sauna room.
To build a dry sauna, you must first prepare a cement chamber for the sauna (it should be noted that a dry sauna can be built without a concrete chamber and only with wood, in which case the cost of wood is higher and the possibility of insulation is reduced).
Dimensions of the chamber Cement should have the least amount of load on the stand, as this will prevent heat loss for the purpose of heating a larger environment.
Moreover, the roof of the room should be subtracted up to 2.5 meters.
Construction and implementation of dry sauna
The next step in the implementation of a dry sauna is its woodwork. The woodwork of the sauna is divided into several stages: chassis, insulation and woodworking.
Prior to woodworking a dry sauna, strong chassis and framing for the sauna must be completed, especially in the fate of benches. Dry sauna chassis can also be sprayed with wood. After chassis, it is time for woodworking, woodworking should be done with soft, smooth and dry wood. Russian wood (pine) is a good choice for this purpose.
The selected woods must be free of any distortion and have a suitable thickness. The thickness of the wood in the walls and ceiling should be such that the wood does not twist in the sign of heat above the sauna, the thickness of the wood used in the fate of the floor and benches should be greater than the wood used in the wall and ceiling, so that patience Users should come and sit around the dry sauna, which is done with a limb and in the form of a crotch and tongue. The door of the dry sauna is also made of wood, this door should not have any locks and should be opened easily by suffocation.
The next step in building a sauna is painting the sauna. The most common type of sauna coloring is the use of sealer killer. However, if a particular color is desired for the sauna, it can be painted with the desired color, in which case the necessary infrastructure for painting must be done, which requires additional costs.
The next step is to install the sauna, install and install the sauna heater. Heater can be interpreted as the heart of a dry sauna, whose good performance will satisfy sauna users and its bad performance will lead to their dissatisfaction. Indeed, in the face of the heater’s poor performance, the dry sauna will turn into a wooden hut. Therefore, great care should be taken in choosing a heater.
The capacity of the sauna heater depends on the heat loss of the sauna chamber. Two important places to reduce heat from a dry sauna are: Reduce the heat from the walls of a dry sauna. Heat loss in the sign of opening the dry sauna door. If the sauna heater is selected correctly, the heater should be able to bring the sauna to the desired temperature within 30 to 45 minutes.
There are two types of heaters that can be used for dry saunas: conventional heaters and infrared heaters. In the meantime, the use of ordinary heaters, also known as stone heaters, is much more common.
Conventional heaters are divided into two categories: electric heaters and gas heaters.
According to national building regulations, the use of any gas-burning device inside the sauna is prohibited, so if gas heaters are used for dry saunas, the gas burner must be placed outside the sauna and before the sauna must be placed behind one of the local sauna walls to be placed. The torch should be considered. In addition, if gas heaters are used, a suitable chimney must be considered for the heater to release combustion gases. But in the face of using electric heaters, installation is very easy and the heater contracts inside the sauna.
A dry sauna needs a thermostat to control the temperature. If gas heaters are used, this thermostat is placed inside the sauna chamber, and when the temperature reaches a certain level, the torch is ordered to turn off the data, and when the temperature is below a certain limit, the torch is ordered to be explicitly ordered. Electric heaters are divided into two categories: their own secret thermostat (built-in switch) and without a thermostat.
In the face of using electric heaters without thermostat, temperature control is done like gas heaters, but built-in thermostat heaters control the temperature of the sauna room with thermostats installed on them and therefore do not need additional cabling to install thermostats. In summary, the following initial cost and easy installation, superiority of electric heaters and low current cost are the advantages of gas heaters.
It is better to put some stones on the heater, these stones should be selected from stones with high heat capacity. The stones on the sauna heater should be arranged in such a way that air flows freely through them.
The last step of the sauna is the installation of light and decorative outfits. Of course, the use of special lighting will help the beauty of most dry saunas a lot, but it is necessary to use special sauna lights (tunnel lights) and enough light to dry the environment of the dry sauna.
In order to make the dry sauna more efficient, sauna accessories can be used. The most important sauna accessories are:
- Buckets and ladles (to store pleasant juices (such as eucalyptus) and pour them on the heater)
- Hygrometer and thermometer (to determine the temperature and humidity of the sauna)
- Hourglass (to determine the duration of the sauna)
Akam Estakhr Company is proud to execute hundreds of samples of beautiful, high-quality dry saunas all over the country, using its own equipped and dedicated wood-cutting and carpentry workshop and having experienced professors for wood-burning saunas.
Cost of making dry sauna and steam sauna
The most important parameter that determines the cost of building a dry sauna under contract efficiency is the cost of sauna wood. In fact, the cost of building a dry sauna can be considered as the total cost of wood and sauna heater, which is often more than the cost of the heater.
But in the case of a steam sauna, the cost of building a sauna is the sum of the cost of joinery (including: cementing, sealing and ceramic work) and the cost of purchasing a boiler, both of which are reasonable and affect the cost of construction.
