Allow sauna's height be less than seven feet to avoid wastage of heat. Having a smaller room ensures extremely effective heating as well as allowing the use of a smaller heater and smaller enterprise breakers within your panel.

The layout of the room is also very important. For a better layout of the benches to be used, have the heater and the door on a long wall adjacent to one another. Allow six feet in at least one direction of your slimmer if you like lying down in it The counter layout is often 19" for the depth and height is 38" for the second counter and 19" for the lower counter. Shorter doors, with an opening of 26" X 78" capturing both frame and door, are also used for the purposes of lessening heat within the slimmer. The doors should also always to the outside the slimmer, never to the medial side.

The sauna's interior should be made from cedar, which does not tarnish as opposed to many other types of wood although a sealant is still recommended.

An adjustable exhaust vent out should also be installed on the wall opposite to the vent out holding newly arriving air so as to ensure proper air circulation and equal heat distribution. The exhaust vent out can be installed anywhere from 48" to 54" from the sauna's floor. The exhaust vent out should have moving doors to regulate the amount of air allowed into the room. It is advisable to place this vent out within arm's reach of your second counter so you can adjust air circulation from the counter as you relax.

Using aluminium foil vapour barrier, rather than conventional polyethylene in residential buildings is also advised.

These lights tend to be managed by dimmer buttons thus can be adjusted according to the users' moods.
