A beautiful finished sauna in Randwick, Sydney built by Savo Constructions using Western Red Cedar supplied by Sauna Steam & Ice. We love seeing our timber transformed into finished spaces like this. The warmth and natural character of the Cedar really comes into its own once installed.
Fantastic workmanship by Jyri and the team Savo Constructions.

Wall battens create an air gap between the sauna lining boards and the wall framing. This gap allows air to circulate behind the lining boards, helping moisture dry evenly from both the front and back faces of the timber. Without this ventilation space, moisture can become trapped behind the lining with the potential for mould issues.
Battens also help accommodate the natural expansion and contraction that occurs during repeated sauna heat cycles. If framing timber has excessive moisture content, or movement allowances aren't considered, stress can transfer through the assembly and into the lining boards.
It's one of the details you never see in a finished sauna, but it plays an important role in the long-term performance of the timber lining.

Most residential saunas use wall-mounted heaters, but floor-standing heaters remain a popular choice for larger and premium sauna projects. Their larger stone capacity can provide a softer heat experience and allow for more generous steam production when water is applied to the stones.

The Tylo Crown Elite combines a compact footprint with a substantial stone capacity, making it well suited to contemporary residential saunas.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿-𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱

Saunas operate in cycles of intense heat followed by cooling. That thermal swing places stress on the wall assembly.

Key considerations:
• Appropriate insulation within wall and ceiling cavities
• Continuous vapour barrier to manage moisture migration
• Proper taping and sealing at joins
• Allowance for expansion at lining level

Inadequate vapour control can lead to hidden moisture accumulation over time- even if the interior looks correct. The lining boards are only one part of the system.
Performance depends on what sits behind them.

Sauna construction should be treated as a controlled thermal envelope-with insulation, vapour control and air sealing detailed deliberately.

Bench placement isn’t just ergonomic-it determines how heat is experienced.

If the upper bench is too low, users sit in a cooler air layer, regardless of heater size.
If benches are too high relative to ceiling height, airflow can become restricted and uncomfortable.

Heater output determines how much heat is available. Bench height determines whether that heat is experienced properly.

As a general design principle:
The upper bench should sit close to-but not crowd-the primary heat zone below the ceiling.

Sauna comfort is a geometry problem as much as a heating problem.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸

Saunas rely on heat layering. Hot air rises rapidly, and the usable heat zone forms in the upper portion of the room.

If ceiling height is excessive relative to bench height, occupants sit below the primary heat zone — even when the heater is adequately sized.

In most residential saunas, ceiling heights between 2100–2400mm are common. In this example, the 2.7m ceiling height requires a third bench so users can comfortably sit within the primary heat zone.

A common mistake is treating a sauna like a standard room. Proportions matter.

The goal is to position the top bench within the primary heat layer-not below it.

Ceiling height, bench height, and heater capacity should always be considered together.
