Sauna in the apartment! What is needed for this?

Sauna in a city apartment - a dream or a reality? In fact, a mini-sauna in an apartment is a fairly common occurrence. Such a steam room not only takes up little space, but also does not require complex installation work.

Let's figure out what is needed in order to build a sauna in an apartment.

1. Choosing a place. Often a bathroom is used to build an apartment sauna. It is there that all the necessary communications are located for building a sauna. Often, pantries and even balconies are used under the steam room. Minimum area required space - 1,8-2 sq.m. This is enough to place one bench in the sauna. The construction of a sauna is legally permitted only in new buildings. However, even in new buildings for installation work, you will need to obtain a permitting document from the housing inspection. The only condition is not to build saunas in basements or living rooms.

2. Wireframe creation. The choice of frame material depends on your preferences and financial capabilities. The most popular material is lining. Additionally, take care of the insulation of the room. It is the insulation that maintains the optimal temperature regime in the steam room.

3. Interior decoration. For interior decoration of the sauna, we recommend using linden, aspen or abashi. It is very important not to use several types of wood for finishing at once.

4. Furnace installation. Do not install charcoal or wood stoves in a city apartment. This is not only pointless, but even dangerous. The recommended oven is electric. It does not require a chimney or fuel. In addition, the electric stove is able to heat the sauna as quickly as possible.

5. Internal fittings. Protect the oven cables with a special thermostatic hose. This will allow it to withstand even the highest temperatures. Place all switches and toggle switches on the outside of the sauna. Don't forget to take care of ventilation. All other equipment - sun beds, headrests, basins, etc. chosen according to preference.

6. Door assembly. For an infrared sauna use a glass door in a modern design. For a traditional steam room with a stove, use a wooden door pre-insulated with foil.

As you noticed, making a sauna in an apartment is not only realistic, but also easy. The main thing is to stock up on desire and finances, the rest is a matter of time.
