What’s a Finnish Sauna? A free webinar on 31st March
Are you an architect designing a high-end wellness suite? Or perhaps dreaming of an authentic Finnish sauna as part of your new home? While the popularity of saunas is skyrocketing globally, the ”how-to” of building a truly authentic Finnish sauna is often lost in translation. Join the short Saunologia Webinar to understand the basics of sauna construction, design requirements, and what sets a Finnish sauna apart from infra-red cabins and steam bath in design and impact.
Saunologia is hosting an exclusive webinar on March 31st, 2026, led by the world-renowned sauna design authority, Dr. Lassi Liikkanen. The webinar is aimed people new to sauna in need of fundamentals crash course to understand the major choices in sauna planning and reduce uncertainty about what you’re getting into.

Beyond the Wood: What Makes a Sauna Work
A sauna is more than just a wood-paneled room with a heater. To achieve the perfect löyly (the steam and atmosphere created by throwing water on hot stones), the technical ”bones” of the structure must be precise. During this session, Dr. Liikkanen will dive into the three pillars of modern indoor integrated saunas:
- Infrastructure & Space Requirements: We’ll discuss the footprint needed for a functional home spa, including energy needs, drainage, and a water supply among the many.
- The need for fresh air & ventilation: Most modern saunas fail because of poor airflow. We will explore the physics of gravity-based vs. mechanical ventilation to ensure bather comfort and protect the building’s envelope from moisture damage.
- Interior Design & Ergonomics: From bench heights that optimize heat distribution to selecting materials that withstand extreme temperature swings, we’ll look at how to balance ”Finnish tradition” with ”modern luxury aesthetics.”
- How to avoid most common and fatal mistakes for the sauna experience and sauna longevity
