FAQs
What heater size works best with the EE8G?
Most 6–8 kW 240 V electric sauna heaters are appropriate for this volume. Always confirm the heater’s cubic-foot rating and follow its installation manual.
How long does assembly take?
With two people, typical assembly takes about one day. Pre-cut components, detailed instructions, and labeled hardware are included.
What base should I place it on?
A level, well-drained surface such as a concrete pad, pavers, or a reinforced deck. Avoid direct soil contact and ensure proper drainage.
Do I need to treat the wood?
Thermo-wood is naturally stable outdoors. Use the included paraffin oil on benches/backrests before first use. For exterior aesthetics, a breathable UV oil can be applied per local climate.
Is the lighting safe for sauna temperatures?
Yes. The system uses low-voltage (24 V DC) components with heat- and water-resistant connections rated for sauna environments.
Can I add accessories later?
Yes. Popular add-ons include bucket/ladle sets, backrests, floor mats, hygrometers/thermometers, and Wi-Fi heater controllers (heater-dependent).
Pro Tip: Treat benches and backrests with the included paraffin oil before first use—this enriches the tone, makes cleanup easier, and extends service life.
