Blackening Of The Sauna Walls - Masily Ruka Montage- Und Gebrauchsanleitung

The heater makes noise.
•
The timer is a mechanical device and it makes a ticking sound when it is functioning normally. If the timer
ticks even when the heater is switched off, check the timer's wiring.
•
Occasional bangs are most likely caused by stones cracking due to heat.
•
The thermal expansion of heater parts can cause noises when the heater warms up.
Sauna Room
Sauna Room Structure
A Insulation wool, thickness 50–100 mm. The sauna room must be insulated carefully so that the heater output
can be kept moderately low.
B Moisture protection, e.g. aluminium paper. Place the glossy side of the paper towards the sauna. Tape the
seams with aluminium tape.
C Vent gap of about 10 mm between the moisture protection and panel (recommendation).
D Low mass 12–16 mm thick panel board. Before starting the panelling, check the electric wiring and the
reinforcements in the walls required by the heater and benches.
E Vent gap of about 3 mm between the wall and ceiling panel.
F The height of the sauna is usually 2100–2300 mm. The minimum height depends on the heater (see table 2).
The space between the upper bench and ceiling should not exceed 1200 mm.
G Use floor coverings made of ceramic materials and dark joint grouts. Particles disintegrating from the sauna
stones and impurities in the sauna water may stain and/or damage sensitive floor coverings.
NOTE!
Check from the fire authorities which parts of the firewall can be insulated. Flues which are in use
must not be insulated.
NOTE!
Light protective covers which are installed directly to the wall or ceiling may be a fire risk.

Blackening of the sauna walls

It is perfectly normal for the wooden surfaces of the sauna room to blacken in time. The blackening may be
accelerated by
•
sunlight
•
heat from the heater
•
protective agents on the walls (protective agents have a poor heat resistance level)
