An oval room with terrace-like entrance proportions \u00b7 Made-to-order outdoor sauna<\/p>\n

TimberIN Nordic Oval\u2122 Terrace: three, four or five metres of adaptable sauna space<\/h2>\n

\n<\/header>\n

\n

The oval form balances curved character with useful interior height<\/h2>\n

Flattened sides and a rounded roof give this model a distinctive profile while creating more usable shoulder and bench space than a fully circular shell of comparable width. A 3000 mm build can focus on the hot room, while four- and five-metre versions create greater freedom for bench length or transitional space, subject to the selected plan. Spruce gives the exterior a traditional light tone; Thermowood offers a darker heat-treated finish. Both materials remain exposed garden surfaces whose longevity depends on drainage, ventilation and care compatible with the supplied treatment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The oval family is broader and heavier than a standard barrel<\/h2>\n

Nordic Oval Terrace uses a 2,340 mm-wide, 2,425 mm-high oval body with a built-in 450 mm entrance terrace. At 3 metres it is already a 4\u20136-person, roughly 1,500 kg structure; the 4-metre model rises to 6\u20138 people and 2,000 kg; the 5-metre to 8\u201310 and 2,500 kg. That width creates generous bench geometry but makes access and crane planning more demanding than a 2.2-metre barrel.<\/p>\n

Choose length after accounting for the 450 mm terrace and any dressing room<\/h2>\n

The 3-metre model is the disciplined family sauna, already seating four to six. The 4-metre model provides a genuine group room or space for a partition. The 5-metre version belongs with hospitality or large regular groups. A 1.5-metre dressing room is included within overall length and significantly reduces the heated room. M3\/M3 SL are suited to smaller room volumes; 20-series heaters serve larger rooms. Electric 9\/11 kW choices bring clean control and larger supply requirements. Spruce and Thermowood affect finish, not capacity.<\/p>\n

The dressing room and insulation are more consequential than roof colour<\/h2>\n

Complete insulation reduces winter losses and is the sensible route for frequent use, but adds layered construction and is best coordinated in the factory. A dressing room creates a dry transition and storage while taking 1.5 metres from the hot room. Glass versus timber inter-room doors trade borrowed light against heat and privacy. A water tank is useful with wood heat; LEDs and entrance lamps need heat-rated wiring. Factory-built delivery preserves the oval shell but requires heavy lifting and a measured route.<\/p>\n

What the current configurator identifies as included<\/h3>\n

Already included:<\/strong> (1) Small window; (2) Entrance door with a small window; (3) Ventilation; (4) Canopy – terrace with side benches<\/p>\n

Included equipment is valuable because it establishes a usable baseline. Displayed builds may contain additional systems, so the accepted quotation should repeat every included item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wood burning Harvia heaters<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Recommended for 2 – 4 meter sauna room: Harvia M3 + chimney (already included)<\/li>\n
  • Recommended for 2 – 4 meter sauna room: Harvia M3 SL + chimney (logs loaded from outside instead of inside)<\/li>\n
  • Recommended for 4 – 5 meter sauna room: Harvia 20 PRO + chimney<\/li>\n
  • Recommended for 4 – 5 meter sauna room: Harvia 20 SL + chimney (logs loaded from outside instead of inside)<\/li>\n
  • Need different wood burning stove? Contact us!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Advantages:<\/strong> Harvia wood-burning heaters provide the traditional fire-and-stone sauna experience. M3 suits the smaller listed rooms, while 20 PRO serves the larger range; SL versions move log loading outside, keeping bark and ash out of the hot room.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    \n

    Electric Harvia heaters<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Recommended for 2 – 3 meter sauna room: Cilindro 9 kW (PC90) with an integrated control unit (already included)<\/li>\n
    • Recommended for 4 meter sauna room: Cilindro 11 kW (PC110XE) including a separate control unit<\/li>\n
    • Need different electric stove? Contact us!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Advantages:<\/strong> A Cilindro electric heater offers repeatable thermostat control, no indoor fuel storage and a straightforward start-up routine. The listed 9 or 11 kW choices allow output to follow the actual heated sauna-room volume.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

      \n

      Thermal insulation<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • For sauna 2 \u2013 3 m. of length: complete insulation + decorative wood panelling (due to technical reasons, recommended for factory assembled saunas)<\/li>\n
      • For sauna 4 \u2013 5 m. of length: complete insulation + decorative wood panelling (due to technical reasons, recommended for factory assembled saunas)<\/li>\n
      • Without insulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Advantages:<\/strong> Insulating the sauna envelope reduces heat loss, improves winter recovery and makes temperature more stable between the heater and benches; decorative internal panelling also protects the insulated build-up.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

        \n

        Configuration<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Dressing room 1.5 m (included in total sauna`s length)<\/li>\n
        • Glass door between sauna and dressing rooms<\/li>\n
        • Wooden door between sauna and dressing rooms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Advantages:<\/strong> A dressing room creates a dry transition area, a canopy provides shelter outside, and side-entry or U-bench layouts can make the sauna work with a particular view and garden approach.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

          \n

          Accessories<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Stainless steel water tank for wood burning heaters (steam effect)<\/li>\n
          • Electric installation. Few LED lights under the benches (sauna area)<\/li>\n
          • 2 Harvia lamps above the entrance door (both sides)<\/li>\n
          • Wooden fence in front of heater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Advantages:<\/strong> Heat-rated LED or Harvia lighting improves safe use after dark, a correctly matched water tank can provide warm water with a wood heater, and a timber heater fence creates a clear physical boundary around hot surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

            \n

            Roof colour<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Black tiles<\/li>\n
            • Brown tiles<\/li>\n
            • Green tiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Advantages:<\/strong> Roof colour lets the sauna sit deliberately within the garden scheme without changing the room plan or bathing experience.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

              \n

              A 3-metre hot room and a 5-metre divided building are different calculations<\/h2>\n

              The sheet does not provide one warm-up time because room division, heater, insulation and outdoor temperature vary. Size the heater to the actual heated cubic metres after subtracting the porch and dressing room, then add the effect of glass. A 20-series stove should not be used merely to force a small room faster, and a 9 kW electric heater should not be assumed adequate for every long layout. Commission with design ventilation open and record a realistic winter routine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

              \n

              Choose length by allocating the rooms on paper<\/h2>\n

              Draw the hot room, desired bench positions, door movement and any changing or covered threshold before selecting 3000, 4000 or 5000 mm. Confirm that the heater is sized to the actual heated volume rather than the total external length where rooms are divided. Prepare a level base for the chosen footprint and maintain water run-off around the shell. Longer versions place greater demands on delivery and lifting access, so check gates, turns and overhead restrictions. Finalise glazing orientation, ventilation, electrical or chimney route and exterior maintenance space together.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
