📐 Room Sizing Guide

The Tylö Crown Elite 8 kW heater is designed for sauna rooms with volumes between 6 and 12 cubic metres. Proper sizing ensures optimal performance, efficient heating, and the authentic sauna experience.

Basic Sizing Formula: 1 kW = 1 to 1.5 m³ of sauna room volume

Adjustment Factors:

Condition	Adjustment Required
Glass door or windows	Add +1.5 m³ per m² of glass
Uninsulated or log walls	Add +25-50% to base volume
Outdoor or barrel sauna	Add +25-30% to base volume
High ceiling (above 2.3m)	Calculate additional volume
Concrete, brick or tile surfaces	Add +1 m³ per m² of heavy material

Worked Example:

📍 Sample Room: 2.2m (L) × 1.8m (W) × 2.2m (H)

• Base volume: 2.2 × 1.8 × 2.2 = 8.71 m³
• Glass door (0.8m × 2m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
• Total calculated volume: 11.11 m³
• Crown Elite 8 kW capacity: 6-12 m³
• ✅ This heater is suitable for this room

💡 Tip: For rooms at the upper end of the capacity range (10-12 m³), expect slightly longer heat-up times. For rooms with extensive glass or heavy materials, consider the Crown Elite 10 for optimal performance.

💷 Running Costs

Understanding the operating costs of your sauna helps with budgeting and demonstrates the excellent value of regular sauna sessions for health and wellbeing.

Energy Rate Used: £0.2769/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap Q1 2026, UK average for Direct Debit customers)

Annual Cost Estimates:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	150	£333
🏠 Regular Use	4	300	£665
🧖 Heavy Use	6	450	£997

Calculation Formula:

Annual Cost = Power (kW) × Hours/Year × Energy Rate (£/kWh)

Example (Regular Use): 8 kW × 300 hours × £0.2769 = £664.56 per year

Per Session Cost: Approximately £2.22 per 1-hour session at full power

⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, room insulation quality, and current energy tariffs. The heater operates at variable power during a session, typically drawing less than full power once the target temperature is reached. Well-insulated saunas achieve significant energy savings.

⚡ Installation Requirements

Electrical Supply:

Requirement	Three-Phase (Recommended)	Single-Phase
Voltage	400-415V 3N~	230-240V 1N~
Amperage	3 × 12 A	35 A
Circuit Breaker	3 × 16 A	40 A
Cable Size	3 × 2.5 mm²	10 mm²
Cable Type	H07RN-F or equivalent	H07RN-F or equivalent
Dedicated Circuit	Required	Required

Minimum Clearances:

Position	Distance
Side walls	50 mm
Rear wall	50 mm
Ceiling	1900 mm (minimum room height)
Benches/seating	500 mm recommended
Interior fittings	50 mm (sides), 30 mm (front)

Ventilation Requirements:

• Fresh air intake: Position directly beneath the heater, through the wall. Approximately 125 cm² opening for family saunas
• Exhaust vent: Position high on the opposite wall or in the ceiling, as far from the heater as possible. Same size as intake vent
• Air circulation: The door’s air circulation must work in harmony with the heater’s warm air flow
• Natural ventilation: Recommended for optimal performance. Mechanical ventilation not advised as it may affect temperature protection

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and local building codes. The exhaust vent must not lead directly outdoors as this could reverse ventilation flow and affect the heater’s thermal protection. Any void above the sauna ceiling must have at least one vent on the same wall as the door.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size room will this heater work for?

A: The Crown Elite 8 kW is suitable for sauna rooms between 6 and 12 m³. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or heavy materials like concrete or tile, you’ll need to add volume to your calculation. As a guide, add 1.5 m³ for each square metre of glass and 25-50% for uninsulated surfaces.

Q: How long does it take to heat up the sauna?

A: A well-insulated sauna room of 8-10 m³ typically reaches 80°C in approximately 30-40 minutes. Larger rooms, those with glass, or poorly insulated spaces will take longer. The IntelliAir technology ensures efficient heat-up compared to conventional heaters.

Q: What electrical supply do I need?

A: The heater can operate on either three-phase 400V (recommended) or single-phase 230V supply. Three-phase requires 3 × 12A with a 16A circuit breaker, while single-phase requires 35A with a 40A circuit breaker. A dedicated circuit and professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory.

Q: Are sauna stones included?

A: No, stones are sold separately. The heater requires 20 kg of appropriate sauna stones (5-10 cm diameter). We recommend high-quality olivine diabase or vulcanite stones designed for electric sauna heaters.

Q: What is the warranty?

A: Tylö provides a 5-year warranty on key components including the heater, controls, and heating elements for residential use. The warranty covers manufacturing defects when the unit is installed according to instructions and used for its intended purpose. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: Can I install this in an outdoor sauna?

A: Yes, the Crown Elite 8 is suitable for installation in outdoor saunas, garden rooms, and barrel saunas. However, the heater itself must be protected from direct exposure to rain and weather. The sauna cabin should be properly constructed with appropriate insulation. For outdoor installations, add 25-30% to your room volume calculation when selecting heater size.

Q: Is the control panel included?

A: Yes, the Crown Elite 8 package includes the Elite Cloud control panel, temperature sensor, and door contact switch. No additional control equipment is required to operate the heater.

Q: Can I control the sauna from my phone?

A: Yes, the Elite Cloud control panel features WiFi connectivity and works with the Tylö Control™ app, allowing you to start, stop, and monitor your sauna remotely. The door contact switch must be installed to enable remote operation for safety reasons.
