You can definitely install a home sauna kit in your bathroom; you just need to be strategic with the placement to ensure that it does not interfere with your shower or the overall flow of your bathroom.
Space & Location Requirements
- You’ll have to have enough floor space to support the footprint of your sauna kit. If your bathroom is already tight with a shower and bathtub, then you may have issues fitting in a home sauna kit.
- Your floor has to be level and solid in order to safely fit a sauna kit. If your bathroom is old and has damaged flooring, then putting in a sauna may not be a good decision.
- There needs to be adequate clearance for proper sauna ventilation, which is especially vital in a bathroom.
Things to Consider
- Power: Sauna heaters require a great deal of power to operate. This is why a certified electrician is needed before installing a sauna. You need to get confirmation from your electrician that the electrical output can be supported in your bathroom.
- Humidity: Bathrooms are naturally prone to humidity and steam because of the shower. As a result, you need to pick a sauna material that can withstand these conditions. Cedar wood is highly recommended for this application since it is moisture and mold-resistant.
- Water Protection: Given how close your sauna will be to in proximity to your shower, sink, tub, etc., you need to ensure that there is some level of protection against water infiltration. This will protect your heater and prevent any damage to the wood. We always recomend glass front for these kinds of sauna kits.
