Underneath you in this video there appears to be a radiant heater on the wall. Is it? Would you suggest heating the room with the addition of a radiant heater as well as the sauna heater? Before or during the sauna? Thanks
Yes there's a standard old fashion radiator under the sauna benches. This sauna is located in very cold climate, so this just keeps that room at normal room temperature during the winter when the sauna is not used and it can be -10f outside this sauna room. When it comes to sauna going, this radiator has nothing to do with it. So, if you live in cold climate, and you want to keep the sauna room warm in the winter (meaning normal room temperature like 66f) you can have a radiator. It's not mandatory nor specifically recommended practice, this is just a part of overall construction and house heating function. Doesn't have much to do with the room being a sauna in this case. Let me know if that helps :)
In outdoor saunas, you can simply have a hole in floor and maybe attach a pipe to it if you want to bring the water somewhere. Some people connect their saunas to real sewerage systems but probably not necessary. Just make sure your foundation is fine with small amounts of water pouring into it. With outdoor saunas, very simply no need to be complicated at all, our barrels for example truly just have one drain (whole) on the floor near the door and one under the heater. They look just like the one on your bathtub :)
Drain is included in this sauna, but I consider that obvious so I didn't mention it. It's not a common mistake or secret thing that people might not know based on my experience.

What type of drain do you recommend for an outdoor sauna?

what about a drain?

@@thesaunaheater it’s pretty common in North America to not have a drain (or not understand the need for a drain)
@@pigetstuck That's true, but in indoor saunas it's important!
@@thesaunaheater What do you recommend for drainage in outdoor saunas?
@@pigetstuck Yes I would!
