Sauna Door

The Sauna door must open out and it can have no lock. It should be only 24" wide to prevent unnecessary loss of heat and warpage. The door should not open directly into a spa area, as chlorinated humidity will rust the hinges and warp the door. Do not put a handicapped door (36") on a Sauna unless the room is large enough to accommodate the movement of a wheelchair, with proper ramp and grab bar (The metal wheelchair will get hot and will be uncomfortable for the operator. An attendant is necessary when a Sauna is intended for handicapped usage. E-Mail us for design assistance if needed).

Solid Glass Door

You can also upgrade the door to solid glass. This door does not have any wood rails but is a solid slab of tempered safety glass 8mm thick in a gray or bronze tint (seasonal availability). Door is also available with custom order in green or satin tint or with two designs on satin.  A archtop bronze tint can also be ordered (custom door orders may take 2-3 months to fill). Solid glass door is needed if sauna opens into a high-humidty room such as a pool room, or when it is aesthetically desired. It is also a desirable door for high-use commercial saunas, for the door does not warp, twist, or shrink over time, as the standard door might in heavy use. Door jambs are Pine with extensions of interior paneling species.  Doors are available in 7x19, 7x21, 8x19, 8x20, 8x21, 9x19, 9x20, 9x21 (not all designs available in all sizes - sizes nominal)

7x19 = 27-9/16" x 74-3/4"
7x21 = 27-9/16" x  82-5/8"
8x19 = 31-1/2" x 74-3/4"
8x20 = 31-1/2" x  78-3/4"
8x21 = 31-1/2" x 82-5/8"
9x19 = 35-7/16" x 74-3/4"
9x20 = 35-7/16" x 78-3/4"
9x21 = 35-7/16" x 82-5/8"
