A sauna and wellness room, consideredMade for life
Made for life
in Harpenden.
Our completed 6 × 3 m Harpenden wellness project includes a 2–3 person sauna within a garden room. Use that example to think beyond the sauna cabin: where will you change, sit afterwards and keep towels dry? Positioning the entrance and glazing around the journey from your house helps make the whole routine feel private.
Start with what mattersGood design
Good design
begins here.
Three conversations to have before settling on the size and specification of your sauna and wellness room.
01
Your sauna specification
Agree the number of users, heater and cabin requirements before fixing the room layout or power supply.
02
Heat and moisture
Ventilation, suitable materials and electrical installation need to follow the chosen equipment specification.
03
The whole routine
Consider privacy, a dry changing area and the route back to the house. Ask separately about water, drainage and cold plunge options.
