When designing a sauna or steam bath, many owners wonder how
many windows should be installed, where they should be located, and what
material is best for the window frames. Unlike residential buildings, saunas
and steam baths are exposed to high temperatures and humidity, which places
special demands on window structures.
Installation
of windows in the steam room and other areas of the bath and sauna
Properly installed windows provide natural light, improve ventilation, and help the room dry quickly after sauna procedures. That is why windows are an important element of a comfortable and safe sauna or steam bath.
Some people believe that a steam room does not need a
window. In reality, this is a misconception. A window helps effectively
ventilate the room and remove excess moisture.
Traditionally, a steam room window is installed opposite the
entrance door, above the upper bench. This location provides sufficient natural
lighting and promotes faster drying of wooden surfaces.
For additional lighting, another fixed window can be
installed on a neighboring wall. In some cases, a small window is mounted
beneath a bench to improve ventilation and drying in the lower part of the
steam room.
It is also important to install a window in the shower room.
It helps maintain a healthy indoor climate and meets safety requirements. The
window opening should be large enough to allow emergency evacuation if
necessary.
In wooden sauna buildings, windows are installed using a
special casing frame. This structure compensates for the natural shrinkage of
the building and prevents deformation of the window frame.
The window frame is attached to the casing using screws or
anchor fasteners. Installation joints are sealed with mounting foam and special
sealants resistant to temperature fluctuations and moisture.
Proper installation ensures durability, prevents drafts, and
provides excellent thermal insulation.
Advantages of windows from a thermotree for a bath and a sauna
One of the best solutions for saunas and steam baths is thermowood windows. Thermally modified wood undergoes a special heat treatment process that significantly increases its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and biological damage.
Unlike standard PVC windows, thermowood does not deform
under high temperatures and retains its properties for many years.
The main advantages of thermowood windows:
High-quality stainless steel hardware and energy-efficient
triple-glazed units are used in the manufacturing process, helping to retain
heat and improve comfort during sauna use.
In the Tesli catalog, you can choose wooden windows for
saunas and steam baths in various sizes and configurations. If your project
requires non-standard window openings, we also manufacture custom-sized
windows. This allows you to find the perfect solution for any sauna project
regardless of its layout.
