📐 Room Sizing Guide
Basic Formula:
1 kW = approximately 1-1.5 m³ sauna room volume
The Tylö Sense Combi Elite 10.5kW is suitable for:
- Minimum room volume: 10 m³
- Maximum room volume: 18 m³
Adjustment Factors:
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass door/windows | +1.5 m³ per m² of glass |
| Uninsulated/log walls | +25-50% to volume |
| Outdoor/barrel sauna | +25-30% to volume |
| Brick/concrete walls | +1.2-2.0 m³ per m² of uninsulated surface |
| High ceiling (>2.3m) | Add extra volume calculation |
Worked Example:
📍 Example Room: 2.5m × 2.2m × 2.3m
- Base volume: 12.65 m³
- Glass door (0.8m × 2m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
- Total calculated: 15.05 m³

💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (Ofgem Q4 2025 price cap – Direct Debit rate)
Cost Calculation:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 | 150 | £415 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 | 300 | £830 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 6 | 450 | £1,245 |
Calculation Formula:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635
Example (10.5 kW heater, Regular Use):
10.5 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £830.03
Per session cost: Approximately £4.15 per 1.5-hour session
