A true symbol of well-being and relaxation, the sauna is now making its way into many homes. More and more people are opting toinstall a sauna in their bathroom or garden, in order to enjoy unique moments of relaxation at home. To make the most of space when installing a sauna inside a home, it’s essential to take a number of criteria into consideration. What is the ideal location for an indoor sauna?
Successful installation of an indoor sauna
When installed indoors, saunas provide excellent comfort all year round, since they can be used without the need to go outside or to a specialized institute. For maximum comfort, however, it is essential to dedicate an entire room to the sauna. For reasons of convenience and comfort, it’s best to choose a location that’s indoors or close to a water feature. Once the location of the sauna has been determined, the next step is to equip it appropriately.
To enjoy all the benefits a sauna has to offer, it’s essential to install excellent ventilation. In addition to the fact that the ambient air can be easily renewed, users won’t have to worry about Co2-induced dizziness. If the ventilation system is properly installed, there will be no need to install an electrical ventilation system. To achieve this, you need to provide :
- An air intake that can be located under the room door, for example;
- An air outlet that can be placed directly opposite the air inlet.

The different sauna models that can be installed indoors
Before moving on to the actual installation of the indoor sauna, it’s also essential to carefully choose the model that will best meet the needs of all future users, and we’ll advise you in this choice. To do this, you need to choose between the following sauna models:
- The wood-fired sauna;
- The gas sauna ;
- Electric sauna (the best choice) ;
- The infrared sauna.
Much more suitable for people in excellent health, the fire sauna is very comfortable. This type of sauna is not practical, however, as the stove needs to be fed regularly to maintain constant heat. Installation also requires considerable work.
As well as being suitable for people in good health, the gas sauna is very easy to use. It is, however, rather expensive in terms of consumption and installation. Electric saunas are also very practical and easy to install. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, have often been criticized for not complying with certain recommendations, so L’Atelier Nordic can advise you on the type of sauna you choose.
