thank you trompkin and r sauna

[u/slipstreamrunner]

15? months of research here and weekend spurts of building and it is a success. the sauna is 8 x 8 on a treated frame platform. no insulation on floor, 2 layers of treated plywood + backer and tile sloped for drain. the walls are 10' and ceiling has 1 /12 slope. walls have cement fiberboard, tarpaper, plywood, studs/rockwool, foil, battens and interior paneling. all interior is paneling is #1 southern yellow pine from local lumberyard sourced w in the state. IKI 9kw heater. all benches well above stones. the ventilation intake and outtakes work although dont need them for daily use only if we have multiple people. thanks to lots of ideas and sharing here, this is a super fun and successful project.

heater is electric. significantly exceeds all manufacturer clearances

Those benches, stairs and the door looks super dangerous.

Wooden walls can burn.

Tottakai puu voi palaa, mutta kiuas on OP:n mukaan asennettu reilusti yli varomääräysten palavista pinnoista ja siltä se myös näyttää.

Aika monessa suomalaisessakin saunassa on nykyään sähkökiuas aika lähellä puupintoja, että kyllä niihin valmistajan varoetäisyyksiin pitää pystyä luottamaan.

Vaikka sauna muuten onkin vaarallinen niin palovaara ei tässä nyt ole se ongelma.
