Step by Step assembly instructions for Commercial Sauna Cabin
General.
Before you begin please take the time to read through these instructions.
This sauna cabin is for indoor use only.
Before you begin the assembly work recommended you read through these instructions slowly and
completely in order to familiarise yourself with the procedure.
Saunas can be erected onto the existing floor that can be vinyl, ceramic, concrete but not carpet or
wood.
You will require the following items:- A powered drill/screw driver with drill bits and posi screw
driver and countersink tool, spirit level, hammer and a saw.
Step 1.
Join panels together to form corners of the cabin. (Note panels forming the side walls are to be drilled
using 5mm dia drill). Fix together using 4 x 85mm x 4.8mm screws (p1). Ensure rebate is at same
end on both panels. The rebated section should be at the top when the panels sit on the base. There
are 4 pieces of 32x32mm wood to sit inside the rebate on each wall to keep straight and strengthen.
This end is the base. Note position of vent panel indicated on plan. (The lower of the two vent holes
faces into cabin).
Step 2 Check that the base is level.
(P1) (P2)

Step 3.
Place corner panels onto base and secure panel to base by screwing through rebate into base section.
(P3) (P3)
Step 4.
Complete wall assembly with intermediate panels, using 19 x 19 corner mould screwed to the top of
the panels (use 4mm dia drill and 40 x 4mm screws) Pin panel to base using 25mm pins (as in 3
above).
(P4)

Step 5.
Fitting the roof; first check diagonal measurement at base to ensure cabin is square i.e. Diagonals will
be equal.Locate roof panel flush to side and front edge. Screw up through 19 x 19 corner mould
(previously fixed at step 4) firstly drill a 4mm dia hole and fix using 4 x 40 screws – approx 300mm
intervals. Repeat for all roof panels.
(P6) (P6)
Step 6.
Fit bench supports; all timbers fixed to cabin walls with 6 x 4 x 40 screws pre drill timbers 3.5 mm,
ensure fixing screws pick up main framework in panels (if in doubt add additional support beneath
rail). The strength of these fixings is critical as the weight of the user is carried by such.
These dimensions will give finished bench heights of 800mm high bench, 500mm low bench.
(P7) 780mm 480mm
Step 7.

5
Fit heater mounting timbers; fix using 2 x 4 x 60 screws at the end of each rail – drill holes 3.5mm
dia in each end of the rail.
Ensure fixing screws enter main frame of panels by aligning screws to line of nails securing
cladding—see heater mounting instructions for all relevant clearances.
The strength of these fixings is critical to carry the weight of the heater and rocks..
(P8)
Step 8.
Internal trims; affix internal base trim (Item 10) around cabin, fix using 25mm pins located approx.
20mm from floor. Under door frame fix a small piece of scrap trim (9 x 32) with 25mm pins – to act
as a packer to support main base trim.
Where the door frame abuts a panel (see step 5a) screw a piece of corner mould (item 5 19 x 19) to
the door frame and also to the adjoining panel – (4 screws to each face 4mm x 40mm screws – pre
drill a 4mm dia). Cover this joint with 32 x 9 trim i.e.
Corner trims (item 9) – fix in place using 25mm pins.
Cover all internal panel joints using trim (Item 10) but screw into place using 32 x 3.5mm. Screw
either side of joint starting 50mm from one end and then every 300mm. This frequency will pull
panels flush and will prevent further movement. (Note outer trims need only be pinned).
Where the door frame abuts the side wall – cover 9mm slot with 32 x 9 trim – pinned in place with
25mm pins.
Vent trim, item 8, Fix as detailed in the pack.

Step 9.
Bench Assembly
Important Safety Information.
The benches may have to support the body weight of several bathers. It is important that they are correctly assembled; the
holes for all screws must be predrilled to prevent the timber splitting. To tighten the screws use a hand held screwdriver
or an electrically operated one with a torque setting that allows the screw to be fully tightened but not to spin as spinning
reduces the holding power of the screw.
Note the use of a good quality PVA adhesive (not supplied) will improve the durability of the benches.
Maximum loadings;
Up to 1200 mm no centre support 2 x 12.5 stone people
Up to 1800 mm with 1 extra support 3 x 12.5 stones people
Up to 2400 mm with 2 extra supports 4 x 12.5 stone people
Check benches periodically to look for signs of weakening (once a year in domestic use twice a year for commercial use)

Assembly Procedure for Sauna Benches.
Refer to the line drawings below and on the
inside face of the side rails mark the positions
for the end rails and cross rails.
Using the brackets mark the hole positions for the
fixing screws.
Using a 3 mm drill bit drill the holes to a depth of
approximately 12 mm.

9
Fix the brackets to the side rails using the 20 mm
screws.
Loosely assemble the end rails and cross rails and
use the brackets to mark the positions for the
screw holes.
Fix the side rails to the end rails and cross rails
through the brackets using the 20 mm screws.
Note for Commercial benches you are supplied with
two extra rails to strengthen the benches. These
should sit inside the frame to the left.

10
Position the bench slats face side down using
19 mm spacing between slats. Ensure the slats
are square.
Place the assembled frame onto the slats and
centralise so that the slats overhang the frame
by approximately 20 mm all the way around.
Mark out the position for screw holes that
will locate 2 screws at each intersection of
the cross rails and the slats.
Fasten together using the 32 mm screws.
Fix brackets between the end rails and the
slats using the same procedure as before –
mark the hole positions, drill the holes and
then screw the brackets into place.

11
Step 10.
Installation of benches; locate the overhanging section of bench onto the supports as per drill
2 x 3.5 mm holes into the underneath section of the end rails of the bench and fix using
2 x 3.5 x 40 mm screws into the support rails.
For benches over 1300 mm centre supports are provided, fit the support from underneath the bench
locating the top rail to the centre cross rail and screw into place using 2 x 4 x 40 mm screws through
3.5 mm holes.

Step 11.
Fitting the glass door we recommend this step is carried out after all the internal fittings have been
installed.
Open the hinges and slide onto the support bases, fasten and adjust using the screws of the fitting as
detailed opposite.
(P12)
Right hand screw = to release hinge and door from frame also allows door to move in and out from frame.
Left hand screw = Move door left to right
Middle adjuster = to move door up and down
To release hinge and door from frame also allows door to move in and out from frame.
Step 12. Affix outer trims.
Affix facia corner blocks (item 11). Fix in place allowing the block to overhang the side of the cabin
approx 8mm and flush with the top of the cabin fix using 25mm pins and glue.
Affix facia (Item 10 – 9 x 32). Use two pieces of item 10 to the front of the cabin and two to each
side (where accessible) fix using 25mm pins.
Affix skirting (Item 10 9 x 32). Use one piece all round cabin – beneath door frame use a 9mm
packer beneath door frame as detailed in step 10.
Affix vertical joint overlaps (Item 9 x 32). Fix using 25mm pins. Spacing as detailed in item 10. Note
corner detail shown opposite (i.e. 3 pieces to a front corner, one to rear side corner).

Contents.
Top and bottom slider rail (9 x 32 + rebate) 2 off at 200mm
Side slider rail (9 x 32 + rebate) 2 off at 57mm
Vent sliders 3.5mm ply 1 off at 105 x 70
Assemble onto vent panel using 25mm pins (P14).
(P14)
To reduce size of cabin. (All models).
IMPORTANT NOTES (SAFETY CRITICAL).
At all times the clearance distances around the heater must be complied with.
The cabin capacity (M³) must be within heater specification. The cabin door must always open
outwards.
To reduce length or width of cabin.
Mark out on the panel (s) the portion to be cut off and cut thro using a saw. (P15).
If metal fixing is hit, use a flexback hacksaw blade in a pad saw to cut fixing. If using a circular saw
use a TCT blade and proceed slowly.
Remove framework (2 x 32) from discarded panel, strip off claddings etc. place 32 x 32 frame
against remaining panel and mark off position of cross braces (P16). Cut framework to marked lines
and push back into panel to be flush and pin in place through outer claddings (P17).
Safety Note.
The panels are constructed using metal fastenings and contain fibreglass/rockwool insulation, safety
goggles and dust mask must be worn if using power tools.
Roof .
Cut roof panel as if for side panel, if reducing length of panel use same sequence, measure, mark, cut,
replace framework and pin in place. (P18).

14
Important note.
Make sure the recut frame work is a good fit between cross braces. As the panel carries the load of
the roof. If you are reducing both length and width of the cabin, ensure the modified ends of panels
are never adjacent to each other.
To reduce the height of cabin. First check heater clearances then proceed as for side and roof panels.
If you are in any doubt regarding clearances please ring our Technical Department.
(P15) (P16)
(P17) (P18)
Benches.
Reduce side slats by same amount as wall panels, remove any part of the fillet blocks that impede the
fixing of the notched cross rails and refix vertical blocks for end rail fixing – screw and glue ALL
joints.

15
Backrests.
Contents. Dependant on cabin type (the number and size will be shown on your parts list)
Two slat Backrests (Celebration) will use 69 x 18 x 125 fixing pads.
Three slat Backrests (Deluxe) will use 32 x 32 x 215 angled fixing pad.
Assembly – Position fixing pad approximately 70mm from end of slat fix using 32 x 3.5 screws (x2)
in from rear through pad into each slat, leave a 18mm gap between slats. Drill and countersink a
3.5mm hole through pad in the gap between slats, to fix to cabin wall.
Fix into cabin using 3.5 x 32 screws. Locate approx 300mm above benches.

16
Floor
You will be provided with pre-cut timber to create a floor in which to cover the area in front of the
benches and underneath the heater. Please make sure you measure the area first and make sure you
have built the cabin correctly for the matt to fit.
Please check the drawing below (P22), for larger models you will be provided with more cross
members to give more support. (P23)
Use glue and 2 x 30mm screws at each joint to fasten the boards together; screw from the underside
and remember to countersink all screw holes
For larger models such as 3030 or larger you may prefer to make the floor in two pieces which can be
easier to remove for cleaning etc.
