@Gabriel Anderson As in they develop a lot of condensation which can then seep into the gaskets etc?

Hey @Tom Mooney , thanks for sharing this. Is there a general calculation you use to estimate airflow based on vents and sauna volume? I have an intake vent behind heater and and exhaust vent opposite side at the top of the wall. As it stands, they will be gravity vents. But I am also considering using electric

@Tom Mooney Sounds like some cool tools haha. Awesome, and its square footage, not cubic footage that we multiply by # of air exchanges? Thanks for sharing
Fiberglass Window Frames
Is it okay to use Fiberglass window frames in a Sauna? Ideally I'd like to use Cedar. I hear vinyl is not the best choice as it starts to deform around 160F. My sauna will be used very frequently.

@Tom Mooney I don't know if that's accurate. It seems like double pane is pretty common for sauna use. The sauna architect I used in Finland suggested double pane. I suppose some double pane windows may have air vs inert glass. I'd have to check
Best Stone for behind Stove
Is there a recommended type of stone to use behind the sauna stove? I'm thinking about the stones properties and ability to radiate heat.

Nice, yes, I am going to use cement board below and behind the stove on the walls. I was thinking black slate and or black river rock.
