Sauna and Steam Room Services by GossTech Kenya Technologies

Our sauna and steam room construction service can include:

How GossTech Constructs a Sauna Step by Step

1. Site Survey and Consultation

The first step is to inspect the proposed sauna location.

Our technicians assess the room dimensions, floor, walls, ceiling height, electrical supply, ventilation, drainage and accessibility.

For a new structure, we also consider the foundation, structural frame, external weather conditions and location of electrical and plumbing services.

The assessment helps determine the appropriate sauna size, heater capacity, insulation requirements, door position, bench arrangement and ventilation strategy.

2. Sauna Design and Layout

The sauna is then planned according to the available space and intended capacity.

The design may include:

• Sauna room dimensions
• Bench configuration
• Heater position
• Door position
• Ventilation points
• Lighting position
• Electrical controls
• Temperature-control location
• Insulation arrangement
• Interior wall finish
• Ceiling finish
• Floor finish
• Drainage where applicable

For residential installations, the design can be adapted to fit an existing room. Hotels, gyms, spas and commercial facilities may require larger or multiple sauna rooms.

3. Structural Preparation

Depending on the project, GossTech may construct a new enclosure or convert an existing room.

The construction may involve:

• Timber framing or an appropriate structural system
• Wall preparation
• Ceiling preparation
• Floor preparation
• Door opening preparation
• Electrical conduit installation
• Plumbing preparation
• Ventilation openings

The structure must be strong enough to support the selected interior finishes, benches, heater and other equipment.

4. Thermal Insulation

Insulation is one of the most important parts of sauna construction.

A properly insulated sauna helps retain heat and can reduce unnecessary heat loss.

Depending on the design, materials may include:

• Thermal insulation
• Mineral wool or other suitable insulation
• Reflective vapour-control materials where appropriate
• Timber framing
• Heat-resistant interior lining
• Sealing materials

The insulation specification depends on the room design, construction method and selected heating system.

5. Vapour and Moisture Control

Saunas and especially steam rooms operate in environments where heat and moisture need to be controlled carefully.

For steam rooms, moisture protection is particularly important. The walls, ceiling, floor and joints need to be prepared to minimise moisture penetration into the underlying structure.

Depending on the construction method, GossTech may use:

• Waterproofing membranes
• Vapour-control layers
• Waterproof sealants
• Waterproof boards
• Suitable adhesives
• Grout
• Tanking systems
• Properly sealed joints

The exact system depends on the substrate and selected finish.

6. Interior Wall and Ceiling Finishing

Traditional sauna interiors commonly use suitable timber because the interior is exposed to elevated temperatures.

Potential materials include:

• Cedar
• Spruce
• Pine
• Other suitable sauna-grade timber
• Timber battens
• Sauna wall panels

The timber selected should be appropriate for the temperature conditions and intended application.

For steam rooms, tiled or other moisture-resistant surfaces are commonly more appropriate.

7. Sauna Bench Construction

GossTech can design and construct sauna seating according to the available space.

Bench construction involves considering:

• User capacity
• Bench height
• Bench width
• Number of seating levels
• Heater location
• Room dimensions
• Cleaning access
• User safety

A two-level bench arrangement can provide different seating positions, while a single-level bench may be suitable for smaller residential saunas.

8. Sauna Door Installation

The sauna door needs to be appropriate for the operating environment.

Depending on the design, the door may incorporate:

• Tempered glass
• Timber framing
• Suitable hinges
• Handle
• Sealing components
• Appropriate clearances

The door position is planned together with the room layout and ventilation system.

9. Sauna Heater Installation

The heater is selected according to the sauna’s volume, construction and intended operating conditions.

GossTech can install suitable sauna heating equipment and associated controls.

A sauna heater installation may involve:

• Heater unit
• Heater controls
• Temperature sensor
• Timer
• Electrical isolator
• Appropriate cabling
• Protective arrangements
• Heater stones where applicable

The electrical installation should be carried out according to applicable electrical safety requirements and by an appropriately qualified professional.

10. Ventilation Installation

A sauna requires appropriate air movement.

GossTech assesses air intake and exhaust arrangements according to the room design.

Good ventilation planning can help with:

• Air circulation
• User comfort
• Heat distribution
• Fresh-air supply
• Moisture management
• Post-use drying

The ventilation arrangement depends on whether the sauna is naturally or mechanically ventilated.

Steam Room Construction and Installation

A steam room differs from a traditional dry sauna because it is specifically designed to contain high levels of steam and humidity.

GossTech’s steam room construction process can include:

1. Site survey
2. Room measurements
3. Design and layout
4. Structural preparation
5. Waterproofing
6. Vapour control
7. Wall and ceiling preparation
8. Floor preparation
9. Tiling or other suitable finishing
10. Drainage installation
11. Steam generator installation
12. Steam outlet installation
13. Plumbing connections
14. Electrical connections
15. Lighting installation
16. Seating installation
17. Door installation
18. Control installation
19. Testing
20. Commissioning
