Assembly of Your Finnish Sauna
SuperSauna Finnish saunas are made up of prefabricated components. This makes the assembly process straightforward and, in many cases, allows you to assemble the sauna yourself with ease.
On this page, you will find practical tips for assembling your Finnish sauna. The exact assembly process may vary depending on the model. Always use the assembly manual supplied with your sauna as your main guide.
Check the Components
Before you begin, check that all components of your sauna are present. Lay out the various panels and components in an organised manner and check for any visible damage.
Make sure you also have the supplied assembly manual available. The manual is included with your sauna. Depending on the delivery, it may be inside a box labelled ‘Manual’ or underneath the roof panel cover.
Before you start, also consult the technical drawings and any digital manuals available on the SuperSauna Support page.
Assembling Your Finnish Sauna
Assembling a Finnish sauna mainly involves joining the prefabricated components together. The wall panels are positioned and connected, followed by the installation of the roof, door and other components.
On several models, the fixing points for benches, backrests and other components are already prepared. This means you do not need to measure everything again during assembly. The components can be secured in place according to the supplied assembly manual.
The exact assembly sequence may vary depending on the sauna model. Always follow the instructions step by step in the manual supplied with your sauna.
Moving Your Sauna Upstairs
If your Finnish sauna needs to be installed on an upper floor, check in advance that the panels will fit through the stairwell and all available access points.
We recommend unpacking the sauna on the ground floor and starting with the box containing the floor panel. Larger panels should always be carried safely by at least two people. Make sure the entire route to the final installation location is clear of obstacles.
Connecting the Sauna Heater
The electrical connection required for the sauna heater depends on the model you have chosen. Our range includes saunas with heaters of different power ratings and connection requirements.
Before assembly, check which electrical connection is required for your chosen heater. If the heater requires a three-phase power supply, the electrical connection must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Always install and connect the heater in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you also observe the specified safety clearances around the heater.
Self-Assembly or Professional Installation?
You can assemble your Finnish sauna yourself using the supplied assembly manual. The prefabricated components make the process straightforward, with several parts already prepared for assembly.
In the UK, saunas are delivered on a pallet and must be assembled by the customer. SuperSauna does not offer an on-site installation service in the UK. You will therefore need to arrange for the components to be moved to the desired location and assemble the sauna yourself.
Points to Check After Assembly
During and after assembly, keep the following points in mind:
- Always follow the supplied assembly manual.
- Lift large and heavy panels with at least two people.
- Ensure there is sufficient working space around the sauna.
- Regularly check that the panels are correctly positioned during assembly.
- Use suitable tools and avoid damaging the wood.
- Install the heater in accordance with the relevant installation instructions.
- After assembly, check that all panels, benches, backrests, the door and other components are securely and correctly fitted.
- Check the electrical connections and ensure that the lighting and other electrical components function correctly, following the manual.
- Carefully remove any stickers from the panels to avoid damaging the surface.

TIPS OPBOUWEN FINSE SAUNA
- Gaat de sauna naar boven, pak dan op de begane grond uit, begin met de doos waar de bodem zit.
Til de panelen met twee personen de trap op.
- De handleiding zit bij de sauna geleverd in een kartonnen doos met sticker manual, soms zit deze verpakt onder de afdekplaat van het dakpaneel.
- Onze monteurs gebruiken de dak doos meestal om alle verpakkingsmateriaal in op te bergen en maken alle andere kartonen dozen direct klein.
- Haal de stickertjes die op de sauna panelen zitten er voorzichtig af.
