Sauna Door : What is it?
| Sauna doors can be bought separately as prebuilt items, custom made, or bought as part of a kit. Safety codes state that sauna doors must open outwards from the sauna room, and they should not be equipped with any latching mechanism that requires them to be turned or lifted to exit the sauna. They should be able to open merely by leaning against them or simply by pushing them.
Aside from being the entry and exit points, sauna doors can also be insulated to provide better heat circulation within the sauna room. |

Kinds of Sauna Doors include the following: |
Wood sauna doors
- Most wooden sauna doors are made of Western red cedar.
- Western red cedar has an insulating capability. It can also withstand moisture and heat without deteriorating. It has a wonderful color and aroma that adds to the aesthetic appeal of sauna rooms.
- They are available in different thickness.
- They come in standard 1” x 6” cedar jambs.
Glass sauna doors
- Glass sauna doors are full glass doors that may or may not have wooden borders.
- They provide clear visibility of those inside the sauna.
- They are commonly used in commercial spas and saunas, allowing the attendants to check up on the patrons.
- They are prone to water stains, making them hard to maintain when not treated.
- They also have lesser heat retaining and insulating capabilities compared to red cedar wood.

Door stop: Look for a sauna door with a door stop molding to protect it and the sauna walls from scratches, bumps, and heavy impacts caused by the closing and opening of the door.
Width: If you are looking for a sauna door for commercial use, check with your state or the country safety codes for the special requirements and considerations. Many states require wheelchair accessibility for sauna doors. |
