📏 Room Sizing Guide
The Tylö Sense Sport 6 at 6.6kW is designed for sauna rooms between 4 and 8 cubic metres. Use the following guidance to determine if this heater suits your space:
Basic Calculation
Calculate your sauna room volume: Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) = Volume (m³)
Adjustment Factors
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass door or windows | Add 1.5 m³ per m² of glass |
| Uninsulated or log walls | Add 25-50% to calculated volume |
| Outdoor or barrel sauna | Add 25-30% to calculated volume |
| Masonry or brick walls | Add 1.2-2 m³ per m² of masonry |
| Ceiling height above 2.3m | Recalculate with actual height |
📍 Worked Example
Sauna Room: 2.0m × 1.6m × 2.1m
- Base volume: 2.0 × 1.6 × 2.1 = 6.72 m³
- Glass door (0.7m × 1.9m = 1.33 m²): Add 2.0 m³
- Adjusted volume: 8.72 m³
💡 Recommendation: This room is at the upper limit for the Sense Sport 6. If your sauna has additional glass panels or poor insulation, consider the 8kW model instead.
💷 Running Costs
Current UK Electricity Rate: £0.2635/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)
Annual Cost Estimates
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 sessions | 150 hours | £261 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 sessions | 300 hours | £522 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 6 sessions | 450 hours | £783 |
Calculation Formula
Annual Cost = Power (kW) × Hours/Year × Rate (£/kWh)
Example (Regular Use):
6.6 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £522 per year
Per Session Cost
Typical 1.5-hour session: 6.6 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.2635 = £2.61
💡 Energy Saving Note: With Split Output technology engaged, actual running costs may be 20-30% lower once the sauna reaches operating temperature.
⚠️ Costs based on Ofgem Price Cap rates (October-December 2025). Actual costs depend on your energy tariff, usage patterns, and session duration.
