📏 Room Sizing Guide
Basic Formula:
1 kW = approximately 1 – 1.5 m³ sauna room volume
Adjustment Factors:
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass door/windows | Add +1.5 m³ per m² of glass |
| Uninsulated/log walls | Add +25–50% to volume |
| Outdoor/barrel sauna | Add +25–30% to volume |
| High ceiling (above 2.3m) | Add extra volume proportionally |
💡 Worked Example:
📍 Example Room: 2.5m × 2m × 2.2m
- Base volume: 11 m³
- Glass door (0.8m × 2m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
- Total calculated: 13.4 m³
- This 9kW heater: ✅ Suitable (rated for 8–14 m³)
📍 Log Cabin Example: 2m × 1.8m × 2.1m
- Base volume: 7.56 m³
- Log wall adjustment (+40%): +3.02 m³

💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (UK Ofgem Price Cap, October–December 2025)
Cost Calculation:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Estimated Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 | 150 | £356 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 | 300 | £712 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 6 | 450 | £1,068 |
Calculation Formula:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635
Example (9kW heater, Regular Use - 4 sessions per week):
9 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £712 per year
Per session cost (1.5 hour session):
9 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.2635 = £3.56 per session
⚠️ Actual costs depend on your usage patterns, session length, room insulation, and current energy rates. The heater does not run at full power continuously once the sauna reaches temperature.
