Finnish Sauna Kit
Build Your Own Sauna with a Finnish Sauna Kit
A Finnish sauna kit is one of the fastest and easiest
methods to build an authentic sauna room or cabin as used by the Finns. Kits
contain all the materials and instructions for building a complete,
functioning sauna bath in as little as a weekend. There are prefabricated or
modular material packages to choose from, or you can save even more by
building with a precut sauna kit.
Authentic Finnish sauna bathing requires a wood-burning heater and a
location near a good supply of water. The preferred location for saunas in
Finland is near a lake where sauna bathers can cool off in between sweating
sessions. Indoor and outdoor family
saunas in North America use showers as a means to cool off, so be sure
to build your home sauna in a location such as the bathroom or an adjacent
bedroom. Most kits can also be installed outdoors with the addition of a
roof.
Pre-built modular saunas (also
called prefabricated kits) are great for someone with low carpentry skill
levels but who still wants to build an
authentic Finnish style sauna bath himself.
These easy-to-assemble kits can be put together in just a few hours. Pre-fitted
and pre-assembled wall and ceiling panels simply lock together. Benches are
pre-assembled and the door is pre-hung for fast installation. You will
probably need an electrician to wire in the
electric sauna room heater that comes
with the kit.
If you are an avid do-it-yourselfer and you’re up to the challenge, have a
look at some of the precut sauna kits that allow you to convert an existing
room into a sauna bath. These kits are great for building
custom designed Finnish saunas. You can
present the manufacturer with the inside dimensions of the room and have all
the material cut to the correct size to eliminate waste.
Your Finland sauna cabin can be heated with a
traditional wood-fired stove
(ideal for an outdoor installation), or you can order an electric heater
(preferred for inside saunas) to be shipped with your kit. A good
manufacturer will help you plan and design your sauna or
steam bath and
provide advice before, during and after its construction.
