If a couple of decades ago, a sauna was considered a place for family or friends to gather and enjoy its warmth, bathe, and relax after a week’s work, currently, saunas are subject to quite high requirements not only in terms of their equipment but also in terms of design, lighting, material selection, pre-sauna interior, or the practicality of the terrace. Suprantama, svarbiausia pirties misija yra sveikatinti ir suteikti pasitenkinimo bei atsipalaidavimo jausmą. So, if you have your own countryside retreat or space near your home, installing a wooden sauna is a significant advantage.
While there are various types of saunas, such as brick-built ones, wooden saunas remain at the top of popularity. Their naturalness and the unique scent of wood create an exceptional environment and bring a lot of joy.
One of the most important aspects of the longevity and quality of a wooden sauna is the proper selection of wood. It determines the sauna’s durability, resistance to moisture, and adaptability to temperature changes.
Wooden saunas are typically constructed as standalone buildings or attached to an existing house. Additionally, a wooden sauna can also be mobile, allowing it to be transported to a desired location.
Wooden components are used for building a wooden sauna: a wooden frame, wooden walls, roof, floors, and interior details. Wooden saunas are popular in many countries, especially in those where traditional sauna culture holds significance. Currently, sustainability and ecology are promoted, aligning perfectly with the essence of wooden saunas.
Saunas can come in various sizes and styles, depending on personal needs and preferences. Wooden saunas can have both traditional and modern, minimalist designs, depending on the owner’s preferences.
It’s important to remember that wooden saunas should be built in compliance with safety and construction regulations to ensure safety and longevity. This includes proper insulation against moisture, adequate ventilation, and other considerations. The design and construction of a sauna are crucial factors in ensuring that it will serve for a long time and safely.
Wooden saunas have unique advantages and characteristics that contribute to their popularity:
• Naturalness and warmth: The texture of wood provides a warm and cozy atmosphere.
• Ecology: These saunas are ecological as they use sustainable materials and construction methods. This is important for environmental enthusiasts.
• Aesthetics: Wooden saunas can be tailored to satisfy various tastes and styles.
• Longevity: Wooden saunas can serve for a long time because wood is treated with special substances to resist fungi, pests, and moisture.
• Excellent insulation: Wooden walls and floors are naturally warm, and when additional insulation materials are used, the building becomes well-insulated against moisture and cold.
• Easy repairs: If a part of a wooden sauna needs replacement or updating, it can often be done with minimal costs.
• Pleasant aroma: Any type of wood provides a pleasant scent that enhances relaxation and positively influences the sauna experience.
However, it’s important to note that wooden saunas require regular maintenance as wood needs care to ensure its longevity.
Wooden saunas can be log-built or framed, with pine being a common choice for construction, while lime, alder, or aspen are suitable for interior furnishings.
