🎯 Why Dimensions Matter

Your sauna's volume (length × width × height) is the most critical factor in selecting the right heater. A heater that's too small won't reach proper temperature, while one that's too large wastes energy and can overheat your space.

💡 Pro Tip: Measure the interior space of your sauna where you'll actually sit. Don't include wall thickness or equipment areas.

🪟 What Are Cold Surfaces?

Glass doors, windows, tile walls, brick, concrete, and stone absorb significantly more heat than wood. These materials require extra heating power to maintain proper sauna temperature.

📐 How to Measure: Add up the width × height of all glass doors, windows, and non-wood surfaces. For example, a 3ft × 7ft glass door = 21 sq ft of cold surface.
Choose wisely: Poor insulation adds 15% to your heating needs. Well-insulated walls keep heat in and reduce energy costs.

💡 Note: The floor doesn't count as a cold surface since you're sitting above it. Focus on walls, doors, and windows.

🌡️ Why Location & Climate Matter

Outdoor saunas face wind, cold air, and temperature fluctuations that require significantly more heating power. Cold climates compound this effect, potentially requiring 30% more heating capacity than indoor saunas.

Location impact: Indoor saunas benefit from home heating, while outdoor saunas must combat external temperatures and weather.
