I admire your attitude and life style. From the outside looking in you are busy thoughtful and looking after yourself and your family. You demonstrate a level of perfection.i.e. if it's what I wanted and it's good . i.e. your sauna then it is good. At least you have a sauna. I learned much. Thanks Wes Sprinkle.

Kind words Wes, thank you. There is only one life (in this chapter of our lifebook). I've found out I need to enjoy it. Work as little as possible (with the regular job) and enjoy family and other things as much as possible. Do a job well and you do it once, take shortcuts and you end up having to do it all over again. Family life and all around is not perfect and neither is it possible to be. The sauna offers up good conversations with friends and a place to gather during long winters. It's all I wanted it to be and a bit more. Hope you are doing well and enjoying this chapter of your life. Love from Norway, Martin.

Thanks

love the big window :-)

Hi Martin, I've completed the frame and am now beginning work on the interior of the hot room. Could you please share your tips on how to make the concrete plates around the heater so shiny?

@MartinWoodStudios

17 күн бұрын

Cool! Look at the video on how I use a plastic sheat underneath the concrete and over. The bottom will later be the front. Also this is concrete called B20, which in my country is the lowest grade, meant for Basic stuff. Remember to spray the top with water for best result (i didnt). For the pillars I used B35 which will take more salt, wear and tear. More Qs?! (Make a new comment because I will not get a notice if u post and answer here). God speed 😊

This is a great sauna build video.. finally inspired me to start on my build.. I wondered if I could ask you about the glass, is it double glazing? I was thinking I would just get 8mm tempered glass and use this video to match the framing technique you used. But worried about heat loss, what kind of temperatures can your sauna get up to with that window? thanks and again, GREAT work and great to see the family involved.

@MartinWoodStudios

Ай бұрын

Hey! Im no window expert but I belive this is a double glass window and measures around 1,6cm or so... I think 8mm will be on the thin side even though it is tempered - thinking heatloss and wobbly(if big) - easy to break, but heatloss depends on how big your window is... small will be just fine I guess. My window measures around 160x160 or something in that direction. You can oversize your sauna oven to weigh up for a "leaky" build. In my case my oven gives my sauna over 100 celsius in -15celsius... but I prefer it at 80-85c. Very happy with my build and the water evaporates from the tiles :) Each oven comes with a m3 that they are built to heat.. in my case Harvia Pro 20 gave me 8-20m3 and I built my sauna at around 14,5m3 inluding the window. (the window you have to add it's square meter to the calculations) ex.. my build I guess was around 12m3(room) + window 1,6x1,6= 2,56m2.... so 12m3 + 2,56 = 14,56m3 and well within my ovens capabilities. hope this helps you and be well and build well :D

@@MartinWoodStudios Thanks so much for this awesome reply.. I went for the Narvi 16 and also going 12m3.. window would be about a similar size to yours.. wow 100c in -15 is mega! again, great work mate.. thanks so much.

Thank you, Martin! Amazing video and very exciting! I'm planning to build a Sauna and will use your video as a guide with some minor changes. What kind of glass are you using? Someone told me that window glass should be tempered to be used in a Sauna, another person told me that glas should be thermo the same are used in the patio doors. I just wondering if we could use "ordinary" glass from modern plastic windows.

@MartinWoodStudios

Hi Sergi! The glass is a normal 2-layered glass from an ordinary window used in houses. (it works very well). No need for tempered or thermo if you place it more than 50cm from oven(thats my safety distance, it might work fine with closer but I have not tested). This had a wooden frame and I had to remove it from the frame because of the paint. Never use treated wood or painted wood in a sauna. In my country they give these windows away for free when changing to 3-layered modern windows that probably is called thermo windows.

Martin, you are building a level floor, but from what I see on KZread, people are building a slope for the water to escape. Do you have problems with draining water?

@MartinWoodStudios

3 ай бұрын

If I had wooden floor I might need a sloped floor. My thought was that I didnt want the hassle of sloping it and I could mop it up instead. But I didnt need to, the tiles become quite warm and the water evaporate. I think because of the 1cm insulated plate under the tiles it leaves enough so the tiles become warm enough for this to happen. If you have more Qs dont answer here but write a new message because yt does not give me a notice if u answer this. Good luck!
