Is any special ventilation required?
In short – no, it isn’t. For a domestic Sauna installation, the Sauna itself will usually ventilate itself from and back into the room in which it stands. That room should be treated as regards ventilation as if it were a bathroom – usually, an opening window is all that’s needed. Just as with a bathroom, any more sophisticated ventilation arrangements such as extractor fans, etc are ‘nice to have’. Remember, a standard Sauna Stove delivers totally dry heat – the only water involved is that which is applied by the bather. Thus a normal hot shower running in a bathroom may well produce more ‘steam’ than your Sauna…
