📐 Room Sizing Guide
Basic Formula: 1 kW = approximately 1-1.5 m³ sauna room volume
The Tylö Sense Combi Pure 8 (8 kW) is optimised for sauna rooms between 6 and 12 cubic metres.
Adjustment Factors
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass door or windows | Add +1.5 m³ per m² of glass surface |
| Uninsulated walls (log cabin) | Add +25-50% to calculated volume |
| Brick/concrete walls without insulation | Add +1.2-2 m³ per m² of exposed surface |
| Outdoor/barrel sauna installation | Add +25-30% to calculated volume |
| Ceiling height above 2.3 m | Calculate additional volume accordingly |
Worked Example
📍 Example Room: 2.5 m × 2.0 m × 2.2 m (height)
- Base volume: 2.5 × 2.0 × 2.2 = 11.0 m³
- Glass door (0.8 m × 2.0 m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
- Total calculated volume: 13.4 m³
- Recommendation: This room is at the upper limit; ensure excellent insulation or consider the 10.5 kW model
📍 Ideal Room: 2.0 m × 1.8 m × 2.1 m
- Base volume: 2.0 × 1.8 × 2.1 = 7.56 m³
- Glass door (1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
- Total: 9.96 m³ ✅ Perfect for the 8 kW model
💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (UK Ofgem Price Cap, October-December 2025)
Annual Cost Estimates
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 | 150 | £316 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 | 300 | £633 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 6 | 450 | £949 |
Cost Calculation Formula
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635
Example (8 kW heater, Regular Use):
8 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £632.40 per year
Per Session Cost (1.5 hour session):
8 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.2635 = £3.16 per session
Energy Saving with Split Output
With Tylö’s Split Output technology, expect 20-30% lower actual costs than calculated above, as the heater automatically reduces power output once target temperature is reached.
⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, room insulation, and current energy tariffs. The Split Output feature significantly reduces consumption during the maintenance phase.
