Do it yourself sauna renovation
Sauna renovation is a fairly simple renovation and you can also do it yourself. Replacing the tiles and wall panels is possible if you have a bit of time and DIY skills. With a good sickle, a pneumatic or electric saw and a cordless machine, you can go a long way. With a made-to-measure board, you can get a quality finish to even a homemade sauna renovation.
Do it yourself Sauna renovation does not require wet glass certificates, except for possible waterproofing of the floor, and can be done by someone with normal manual skills. Electrical work and plumbing valve adjustments should be left to a professional.
If required, we also guide our customers’ sauna renovators and sauna contractors in the installation of our products.
In sauna renovation, as in other home renovations, planning plays an important role. Good planning, careful choice of materials and professional execution will ensure a successful renovation of your old sauna. An online sauna design program is a good tool to help you renovate your sauna. The design software gives you a good idea of the possibilities of the space even before you start the actual sauna and bathroom renovation. When renovating your sauna, it’s worth trying out how the positioning of the stove and the door will affect the possibilities of the room model!
Even small saunas in an apartment building or terraced house can have a beautiful sauna when the design is done carefully!
Material choices according to your interior design style
It is worth considering material and ceiling design choices to suit your own preferences and the style of your home’s interior. Sauna rooms made with quality materials and timeless choices will look good for years to come.
Sun Sauna has a stock of selected, high-quality sauna building materials that can be delivered to the construction site with fast delivery times.
It is advisable to ensure the availability and delivery times of the selected special materials before the sauna is dismantled, so that orders can be placed in time and the renovation does not take too long. When choosing timber for your sauna, it is important to consider not only the appearance but also the use of the sauna. For a sauna that will be in heavy use, it is not advisable to choose the lightest options, as they are more likely to show signs of wear and tear.

Sauna renovation budgeting and a high quality end result
When renovating an old sauna, apart from possible repairs to the wall structure, the only stage of the work that is difficult to estimate accurately is the laying of the ceiling. When you’re making a single piece that hasn’t been made before, the planning and making can take a surprisingly long time. The time taken is also influenced by the quality requirements for the tile. For a more modest summer sauna, the level of quality does not necessarily have to be as high as for a sauna in a modern private house.
To ensure a high quality finish and to keep your sauna renovation within budget, custom-made tiles are a good solution. Ready-made to the right dimensions, they can be installed in less than a day. In a sauna workshop, the quality of the products made by a professional is always better and the price is not higher than when made on site. It is this finish that remains visible and is required for a successful result!
In addition to a beautiful finish, the maintenance and cleanability of Sun Sauna’s decks are always taken into account when designing the decks and all our decks can be dismantled for cleaning and maintenance.
Sauna wall construction / Sauna wall constructions
It is good to know the basics of wall construction and good building practices, even if you are having your sauna renovated by a professional. This will ensure that the interior renovation is done properly and correctly. See the links below for the correct sauna wall construction for different wall types. The construction drawings include instructions for both a sauna with urethane insulation and a sauna wall with a wooden frame and wool insulation. Any defects in the wall construction of an old sauna should always be corrected when the panelling is replaced.
The price of a sauna renovation is very reasonable, with the work amounting to just under €2000, depending on the size of the sauna.
The cost of sauna renovation depends on the size of the sauna, the materials chosen, the model of the sauna and the type of heater. You can get a quick and easy estimate of the cost of a sauna renovation using our design software or by visiting our stores, free of charge of course. Welcome to see how a sauna renovation is worthwhile, a quality sauna renovation will add long-lasting luxury to your everyday life and increase the value of your home.
If necessary, we can also provide a quote for a turnkey sauna renovation. The price of a normal sauna renovation without materials is about 2000 €. This includes replacement of insulation and vapour barrier, joinery, panelling, ceiling tiling and installation of ceiling lights (not wiring, which is done by an electrician). The sauna renovation takes 2-5 days and the work done on site is deductible.
We will only send you an invoice once the sauna package or board package has been delivered and the item has been handed over to a satisfied customer.
Welcome to our happy sauna customers!
Sauna renovation in a housing company
Sun Sauna also manufactures decks for housing companies and carries out sauna renovations in the sauna facilities of housing companies. In the community saunas of a housing company, the operating environment is completely different from that of normal apartment saunas. These requirements must be taken into account when manufacturing the boards and carrying out renovations. Due to the daily use, the community sauna must be able to withstand much more stress and must be easy to clean. Sun Sauna’s Swing-Clean sauna system with metal frame, rising board slats and demountable frame is the right solution for the sauna in housing associations.
