Bespoke Indoor Sauna Installation: Welford-on-Avon, Warwickshire
Jan 03, 2025
This bespoke indoor sauna installation demonstrates luxury and functionality, creating an elegant space for relaxation. Designed with attention to detail and an emphasis on comfort and aesthetics, this project transformed the room into a stylish modern-day sauna. Every element has been carefully selected to ensure an authentic experience, combining contemporary design with traditional sauna principles.
Materials
At the heart of this installation is thermo aspen, a premium wood known for its rich, golden-brown hue and pleasant, toasted aroma. Enhanced through a natural thermal treatment involving heat and steam, thermo aspen is as durable as it is beautiful. The cladding has been installed horizontally, adding a sense of spaciousness to the room. The glass front and door connecting the sauna to the relaxation area amplify the sense of openness.
Bench Layout and Design
The opposing bench layout optimises the use of space. The upper benches comfortably seat four people, with additional space below on the raised floor. The upper benches, at a 1050 mm height from the floor level, are perfectly positioned to maximise exposure to the “löyly” – the gentle steam rising from the sauna heater when water is poured on top of the hot stones in the heater. Below, the lower benches offer a gentler heat, accommodating bathers seeking a milder experience.
The raised floor with opposing top benches on both sides of the electric sauna seat 4-5 people.
Under-bench skirting, crafted from a narrower thermo aspen bench wood profile, conceals the bench frames for a clean and polished aesthetic. Access to the benches is effortless, thanks to the inclusion of a step. The backrests ensure additional support while relaxing on the top benches.
The Sauna Heater
At the core of the sauna is the IKI Pillar 12kW electric heater, a pinnacle of efficiency and style. Featuring a stainless steel mesh housing a generous amount of sauna stones, the heater guarantees a soft, consistent, and long-lasting steam. The bespoke wooden safety rail surrounding the heater enhances safety while serving as an elegant design element.
The slim design of the IKI Pillar leaves room for wider bench solutions. In this installation, it is conveniently mounted into the raised floor.
Paired with HUUM's UKU Glass Blak Controller, the heating system combines modern technology with traditional sauna principles. The sleek glass-panelled black controller offers Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing bathers to preheat the sauna remotely for added convenience.
Lighting
Lighting plays a pivotal role in creating the sauna’s relaxing ambience. The installation features SAAS Highline Sauna dimmable LED lighting, including Viiva lighting strips mounted on the backrests and bench lips, creating a subtle glow. Ceiling-mounted small LED Highline Sauna + spotlights further enhance the atmosphere, while the SAAS Hot One positioned above the heater highlights the IKI Pillar heater and the stunning split-face tile feature wall, which adds a striking visual element to the space.
The combination of LED sauna lighting from SAAS creates a soft ambiance and an inviting feel to the interior.
Additional Features
The inclusion of sauna-safe speakers ensure a multisensory experience for users. Whether playing soothing music or nature sounds, these speakers contribute to the serene atmosphere of the sauna.
