Ventilation is one of the key aspects in the design and construction of any Sauna Banya. Properly organized ventilation provides not only comfortable conditions for rest, but also affects the durability of the entire structure. One of the most important elements of the ventilation system are ventilation valves.
Why are ventilation valves needed in a Sauna Banya?
- Providing fresh air : During bath procedures, the oxygen level in the room can quickly decrease, and the concentration of carbon dioxide can increase. Ventilation valves provide a constant flow of fresh air, which makes staying in the bath more comfortable and safe.
- Temperature and humidity control : Ventilation valves allow you to control the humidity and temperature levels in the sauna. This is especially important in the steam room, where high temperatures must be combined with a certain level of humidity to achieve the optimal effect.
- Odor Removal : During sauna use, various odors are released that can be absorbed into the wood. Ventilation valves help remove unpleasant odors and maintain a pleasant atmosphere in the sauna.
What types of ventilation valves are there?
- Приточные клапаны: Эти клапаны устанавливаются в нижней части стены, чаще всего ближе к печи. Они обеспечивают поступление свежего воздуха в парилку или моечное отделение.
- Exhaust valves : Installed at the top of the opposite wall to remove hot and humid air outside. Exhaust valves work in tandem with supply valves to create natural air circulation.
- Adjustable Valves : Adjustable models allow you to fine-tune the amount of air entering or leaving the unit to suit your needs.
Where and how to install ventilation valves?
- In the steam room : The supply valve should be located below the stove level, at a height of 20-30 cm from the floor. It is recommended to place the exhaust valve on the opposite wall at a height of about 15-20 cm from the ceiling.
- In the washing area : Both supply and exhaust valves can be installed to maintain optimal conditions.
