We favor even bather-level heat, breathable air, high useful benches, controllable löyly, durable assemblies, and fewer gimmicks. Start with the person on the bench. Then build the room outward.
We judge a sauna by what a person feels on the bench: even convective warmth, breathable air, controllable löyly, and no cold-feet penalty. A peak thermometer number cannot rescue bad geometry or stale air.
Understand the target experience →Start with the upper bench about 100–120 cm below the ceiling, then place the foot bench about 45 cm lower and, when the system allows, at or above the stone line. These are planning baselines—not permission to ignore the exact manual, code, or accessibility.
Plan the hot zone →Fresh air is part of the heat experience, not just a drying afterthought. Mechanical and gravity systems need different layouts; many mechanically ventilated electric rooms work best with supply near or above the heater, low exhaust away from it, and a separate high drying path.
