Sauna Manufacturing and Maintenance, ...it is a comprehensive process—ranging from the proper selection and installation of heat-resistant specialty woods to regular cleaning and ventilation—that ensures the sauna can be used safely for many years. How should sauna construction and maintenance be carried out in İzmir, Çeşme, and Alaçatı? Here are some golden tips from the experienced craftsmen at İmerek Yapı…
Sauna Manufacturing When you do Which Woods are Kbeing used?
The type of wood we will use when manufacturing a sauna is important in terms of material durability and thermal insulation. Likewise, in the same way, wood can adversely affect human health due to heat in the following process. For this reason, wood selection should be made by considering this issue while manufacturing the sauna.
At İmerek Yapı, we understand the importance of our responsibility, which is why we always provide our customers with the highest-quality and most durable products. When selecting the wood to be used in saunas, we always ensure it is kiln-dried, resin-free, knot-free, and heat-resistant. The primary types of wood we prefer are as follows:
- Finnish Pine
- Finnish Ladin
- California Red Cedar
- Mediterranean Pine
- South African Abachi
Because these types of trees grow in harsh weather conditions, their structure makes them more resilient than other tree species.
When building a sauna, even the specific location of each type of wood is important. For example, as can be seen in İmerek Yapı’s sauna construction projects in İzmir, Çeşme, and Alaçatı, the decking for the seats, backrests, and wooden cushions is selected from Abachi wood grown in South Africa. This type of wood does not retain heat, and unlike other woods, it does not splinter. For more information about our sauna construction services, Sauna Manufacturing You can check out our page.
What Is the Ideal Way to Use a Sauna?
The ideal internal temperature in a sauna ranges from 80 to 90 degrees on average. The time it takes to reach this temperature varies depending on the heater’s power, the cabin’s volume, and the quality of the insulation; this is why the heater’s capacity is selected based on the cabin’s volume during the manufacturing process. Placing electronic devices inside the cabin is not recommended—this range of temperature and humidity is not suitable for devices not specifically designed for saunas.
However, if you are not happy with the smell of the sauna, there is a solution. You can add sauna essence or various scents to a bucket of water. Then drip this scented water onto the volcanic stones that you will put on the sauna heater. In this way, you can make the room smell more pleasant. This also helps to moisturize the inside of the sauna.
As İmerek Yapı, a company offering professional sauna construction services in İzmir, Çeşme, and Alaçatı, our recommendations for sauna maintenance are as follows:;
- It will help with cleaning if the floor timbers are removable, i.e. portable.
- Floor seats, backrests and wooden cushions should be cleaned with special disinfectants, as wood can harbor germs.
- You should definitely take a shower before using the sauna and you should never enter the sauna without slippers and a sauna towel.
