Rain, drainage and site access
Choose a location with a usable access route for construction and maintenance. Roof edges, water runoff and the timber-to-ground detail need attention in a tropical setting. A rooftop installation requires assessment of structural capacity; available floor area alone is not enough.
Which site details affect an outdoor sauna quotation?
Show the proposed base, route from the unloading point, nearby drainage and electrical connection. Roof overhangs and the junction between exterior cladding and base should prevent water being trapped. An exposed coastal site also calls for a project-specific corrosion-protection specification for the metal frame and fixings.
Local production, planned installation
Arctic Bear Wellness and Five Elements develop sauna projects with an Indonesian team and locally sourced materials where specified. Our aim is European-quality workmanship, supported by Russian sauna-building methods. Manufacture and installation across Indonesia are planned within two months; the agreed design, site readiness and any special-order materials determine the project schedule.
A structure beneath the timber
Our custom sauna construction uses a metal frame, rock wool insulation and an aluminium vapour-control layer behind the interior lining. The assembly is designed as a complete system: joints, penetrations, drying paths and corrosion protection matter as much as the visible wood. Layer thicknesses and heater clearances are specified for each project.
Fresh air in, used air out
We provide separate supply and exhaust air paths. Their positions depend on the heater, temperature sensor and whether airflow is mechanical or natural. Two openings alone do not establish adequate ventilation: the complete airflow route and drying after use are part of the design.
Timber options
Bangkirai is the exterior cladding option; Sungkai or pine wood can be specified for the interior. Premium red cedar is available to order. These are distinct timber choices, not interchangeable names. We agree the species, finish and suitability for each surface before production; special-order wood may have a different origin and lead time.
