Where to Install Your Indoor Sauna?

As people’s living standards improve, more and more people choose indoor saunas. Saunas have unquestionable benefits for human health.

When choosing a suitable home sauna, you also need to consider the installation location of the indoor sauna. In this guide, we will explore the installation location of the indoor sauna and the precautions.

Important Factors to Consider Before Installing an Indoor Sauna

When installing an indoor sauna, we need to consider the following factors.

Size

Indoor space is limited, you need to understand the size of the sauna and set the size of the location where the sauna is placed to avoid the situation where the sauna does not match the placement space.

Dry and ventilated environment

The high temperature and humidity of the sauna will breed many bacteria, so the installation location of the sauna needs a dry and ventilated environment to allow air circulation to achieve the purpose of removing odors and reducing bacterial growth.

Electricity

The indoor sauna needs to consider the demand for electricity. At present, most indoor saunas are electric saunas, which use electric sauna stoves to heat. Indoor infrared saunas also use electricity more or less. Therefore, indoor saunas need to consider the problem of electricity consumption to facilitate the normal use of the sauna.

Suitable Locations for Installing Indoor Saunas

Saunas can be placed in indoor living spaces, but if the living environment is limited, here are a few suitable locations for indoor saunas. Considering the size, environment, and electrical accessibility of indoor saunas, you can place your sauna according to your actual situation.

Basement

The basement is one or more floors of a building below the ground. The basement has a huge space and there is plenty of space to place an indoor sauna, and placing a sauna in the basement does not take up living space.
It is worth noting that if the basement is too humid, it is best to choose a relatively dry space to place the sauna.

Attic

The attic is a good place to place a sauna. Not only will it not occupy the original living space, but it will also maximize the use of building space. And the attic is a sauna, which has strong privacy and can provide a quieter environment. When using a sauna in the attic, make sure that the attic is well ventilated. When installing, pay attention to the slope of the top of the attic to avoid collisions.

Gym

If you have a gym at home, the gym will be a great place to install a sauna. The gym has plenty of space and power to facilitate the use of the sauna. After exercising at home, you can enter the sauna to relieve muscle soreness and quickly recover your physical condition. It is very beneficial to the body to be indoors after exercise.

Garage

If you have extra space in your garage, installing a sauna in the garage can also save living space. And the garage has a significant advantage that the basement does not have, that is, the garage is relatively dry and has good ventilation, which can quickly dry the water stains in the sauna and provide fresher air.

Bathroom

You can also install the indoor sauna and shower together. Putting the two together, you can experience hot/cold immertion therapy. The bathroom has a convenient power supply and a ventilation system that has been installed. It is worth noting that the bathroom is humid, so you need to ensure that the ventilation system of the bathroom is in normal use.

Sunroom

The sunroom can meet people’s needs to get close to nature and experience the sun. If you have a sunroom at home, you can also choose to place the sauna in the sunroom. Not only can you achieve good ventilation, but also enhance your sauna experience.
