In the outdoors, creating an exclusive sauna allows you to enjoy the comfort and relaxation of the sauna while getting close to nature, which is the ideal choice for many people. However, the customization of an outdoor sauna is not a one - step process. It requires a series of rigorous and meticulous procedures. The following is a detailed introduction to the complete process of customizing an outdoor sauna.?
I. Requirement Communication and Consultation?
When you have the idea of customizing an outdoor sauna, the first step is to contact a professional sauna customization merchant. You can find reputable merchants through online searches, recommendations from friends, etc. During the consultation, you should inform the merchant of your needs in as much detail as possible. For example, the number of people you expect the sauna to accommodate, which will determine the size of the sauna; your special requirements for the functions of the sauna, such as whether you need to be equipped with an audio system, special lighting effects, etc.; the style of the sauna you have in mind, whether it is a simple modern style, a natural log style, or a style with exotic 风情. At the same time, the merchant will also introduce different types of saunas to you, such as traditional dry saunas, wet saunas, and their respective characteristics and applicable scenarios, helping you make a more appropriate choice.?
II. On - site Inspection?
After initially understanding your needs, the merchant will arrange professional personnel to conduct an on - site inspection of the outdoor site where you plan to install the sauna. This step is crucial. The inspectors will carefully measure the dimensions of the site, including length, width, and height, as well as the terrain conditions of the site, whether it is flat or has slopes, etc. They will also observe the surrounding environment of the site, such as whether it is close to water sources and power sources, whether there are obstacles around, and how the sunlight exposure is. This information plays a key role in designing a reasonable and practical sauna plan later. For example, if the site is close to a water source, the laying of water pipes will be more convenient when designing a wet sauna; if there are tall trees or buildings around blocking the view, targeted designs are needed when considering ventilation and lighting.?
III. Design Plan Formulation?
Based on the results of requirement communication and on - site inspection, the designer will start to formulate a detailed sauna design plan for you. The design plan will be presented in the form of drawings, including the overall appearance design of the sauna, the internal layout plan, and the division of various functional areas, such as the sauna room, changing room, rest area, etc. In the appearance design, it will be integrated and created in combination with the style you have selected and the surrounding environment of the site to ensure that the sauna is in harmony with the outdoor landscape. The internal layout will fully consider ergonomics and the convenience of use, and reasonably arrange the positions of seats, heaters, vents, and other facilities. At the same time, the designer will also provide multiple material and color selection plans, allowing you to customize the interior of the sauna according to your preferences. For example, for wooden materials, you can choose different woods such as Finnish pine and Canadian hemlock, which have their own characteristics in color, texture, and durability.?
IV. Material Selection?
Once the design plan is determined, the next step is the material selection process. The main materials of the sauna include wood, heaters, insulation materials, waterproof and moisture - proof materials, etc. Wood, as the main structure and interior decoration material of the sauna, its quality directly affects the quality and use experience of the sauna. High - quality sauna wood should have characteristics such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, not easy to deform, and no peculiar smell. For example, Finnish pine, which was mentioned earlier, has a natural fragrant smell and a hard texture, making it an excellent choice for making saunas. There are also various types of heaters, such as electric heaters, gas heaters, wood - burning stoves, etc. You can choose according to the convenience of use, energy cost, and personal preference. The quality of insulation materials determines the energy consumption and temperature - holding capacity of the sauna. Commonly used ones include rock wool, polyurethane foam, etc. Waterproof and moisture - proof materials are used to protect the sauna from the erosion of the outdoor humid environment and ensure the service life of the sauna. When selecting materials, the merchant will introduce the performance, advantages and disadvantages, and prices of various materials to you in detail, helping you make a choice that meets your budget and needs.?
V. Contract Signing and Payment?
After being satisfied with the design plan and materials, you will sign a customization contract with the merchant. The contract will clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties, including important information such as the specifications of the sauna, material details, price, delivery time, installation service content, and after - sales service terms. Before signing the contract, be sure to read the contract terms carefully. If you have any questions or need to add content, communicate and negotiate with the merchant in a timely manner. The payment method is usually arranged according to the project progress. Generally, a certain proportion of the deposit, such as 30% - 50%, is paid after signing the contract, and the remaining amount is paid after the sauna is made and passes the inspection. Such a payment method can not only protect the rights and interests of the merchant and ensure the smooth progress of the project, but also allow you to have a certain degree of control over the progress and quality of the project.?
VI. Sauna Production?
After receiving the deposit, the merchant will start to produce the sauna according to the design plan and the selected materials. The production process is carried out in a professional factory by an experienced craftsman team. They will strictly follow the process standards, carefully process each piece of wood to ensure accurate dimensions and tight splicing. When installing key components such as heaters and electrical equipment, they will also operate in accordance with safety regulations and conduct multiple debugging to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The entire production cycle depends on the complexity of the sauna and the production capacity of the merchant. Generally, a simple small sauna may take 1 - 2 weeks, while a large and functionally complex sauna may take 3 - 4 weeks or even longer. During the production process, the merchant will communicate with you regularly about the progress, allowing you to understand the progress of the project.?
VII. Transportation and Installation?
When the sauna is produced and passes the quality inspection, the merchant will arrange a professional transportation team to transport the sauna components to your installation site. During transportation, the sauna components will be properly packaged and fixed to prevent damage during transportation. After arriving at the site, the installation personnel will carry out on - site installation according to the design drawings. The installation process generally takes 2 - 3 days. The installation personnel will first build the main structure of the sauna to ensure the stability of the structure, and then install various internal facilities, such as seats, heaters, ventilation systems, etc. Finally, they will conduct overall debugging and cleaning work. During the installation process, you can supervise on - site. If you have any questions, communicate and solve them with the installation personnel in a timely manner. After the installation is completed, the installation personnel will introduce the usage method of the sauna to you in detail.
