Hi Tomás, looks class. What temperature can you get it up to and roughly what was the price of the materials. I’m thinking of doing a smaller version here in Tipp but on a budget
You inspired me to building my own. Currently digging foundation. Was thinking to use Rockwool slabs for walls, but thought insulation boards wouldn’t be a good choice because of high temp. Did you consider Rockwool, or do you think boards are a good enough - perhaps more economical- fit for every aspect of your build? Lastly, any floor vent by the heater, or adjacent wall for circulation? Great build though mate. 👊🏽
@@frankmartin99 Hey, thanks a million. Fair play on starting the build, def worth it :) Yeah for insulation you have many options, guess it’s up to budget and what’s available near you. I looked at Rockwool and a few others but went with kingspan boards 100mm in end. No floor vents specifically, but it’s larch over deck with a gap so breathable and water can pass
@@davidreid4861 Hey, thanks a million. No direct drainage in the floor, but it’s hardwood Larch boards, with insulation and deck below, so at very least will evaporate. Definitely have plans to build more, would really like to do woodburning stove, in a more natural setting. No major changes in terms of build, few little bits here and there but would stick with fairly similar method
Great build I'm in ireland starting mine , can I ask did you put a vabour barrier between deck boards and larch on floor? Also can I enquire where you picked up the non treated wood for inside ? Did u say you would have preferred a floor drain ? Cheers Paul 👍
Cheers Paul 👍🏽 Fair play on getting started . I didn’t put a vapor barrier on the floor , as I understand it’s not needed as sauna floors are cold. I got the timber of a company in Ireland selling all sauna equipment, quick google you’ll see them. So far been fine without drain, I mop it every now and then to clean
Looks good Tomas. Im in Ireland and just started my build. Did you use just treated decking boards in the sauna floor? What materials did you use for the roof? Cheers.
@@paultoner7446 hey thanks :) No the floor is Larch hardwood boards. You can’t put any treated wood inside the sauna, it can be harmful when heated up. But the Larch is laid on top of regular treated deck yes.
Brilliant build. What do you use to keep the water cool in the plunge? my sauna is smaller with 6kw heater and we go weekly. Was thinking about similar IBC tank cold plunge. Please, share some tips.
@@alexklim76 Cheers, current cooling system for the plunge pool is the Irish climate hahah Few options to make it colder tho, freeze plastic bottles from the recycling with water and chuck them in
Complimenti sei veramente bravissimo👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@andreavigo2347 Grazie mille 👌🏽
Brilliant!
Top class 👏

Smashing job, did you add any sort of drainage into the floor of the sauna. If you were to build it again, what would you change if anything.

good stuff
Awesome build. What size and brand of electric heater did you use? How’s the
Loyly?
@@martyryan9581 Heater is a Harvia 8kw wall mounted unit. The Löyly is mighty 🧖🏽♂️hahah Cheers
Brilliant!
Where did you source the larch aspen andalder?
@@paddysmyth4635 Thanks a million. Got them from a company in Ireland who make Saunas and sell the timber
Maith thú Tomás! An a mhaith ar fad do gach rud!
What did you use for the flooring? The same as the walls or did you leave it as just the sheets of OSB board?
@@JF-kb6bl Flooring is hardwood larch boards. Walls are Aspen, benches Black Alder. All native trees to Ireland 😊🍀
