Cove Molding Installation
14 The cove molding (3/4” x 1”) will be provided longer than needed
to allow trimming to exact size to insure a tight fit. Measure each wall
to determine cut length. A simple butt-end cut is the easiest. Cut
molding straight, then butt the pieces together (photo K). If you prefer
a mitre joint, the molding is long enough to accommodate that type of
cut as well.
15 Using #4 finishing nails (Pneumatic nailer preferred), nail the cove
molding to the interior walls.
16 Once the molding is secured to the walls nail it through the bottom
& into the ceiling to help keep it in place.
Vent Valve and Vent Grill Installation
NOTE: One wall panel has a 4” x 6” opening in it for an air outlet vent. This
panel is typically located on the back wall or toward the back of a side wall.
17 Slide the valve door open and place the opening directly over the 4” x
6” cutout. Making sure it is level, fasten it with two 1-1/2” screws (photo
L).
18 From the outside of the sauna, center the wood grill over the exterior
of the 4” x 6” cutout, with the louvers facing down. Making sure it is level,
fasten with four 1-1/2” screws (photo M).
NOTE:
If your back wall is hidden, the grill is not needed.
Bench Installation
In standard cases, the benches are positioned with the upper bench against the
back wall of the sauna, and the lower bench parallel to it. There are four bench
support boards: two that are 22-3/4” long for the upper bench, and two that
are 46” long (length can vary with sauna model), for the lower bench. This
extended length will allow the lower bench to slide under the top bench for
ease in cleaning. Bench configuration will most likely be different with custom
designed rooms
.
NOTE: The interior walls have been marked at the heights you should
attach the bench supports, generally top bench support at 30” and lower
bench support at 12” off the floor.
These are the heights of the top
edge of the bench supports, not the top of the benches!
19 Position the bench supports about 1/4” away from the back walls.
Making sure they are level, use 3” screws and pre-drilled holes to secure
the bench supports to the walls (photo N ). Be sure to install screws in all
the pre-drilled holes. When installed at the height noted, the 3” screws will
line up with the internal framing of the panels for necessary strength.
20 Install the benches, starting with the bottom bench first. Note that one
side of the bench is finished, while the other has exposed framing. (This
may vary with custom designed rooms)
. The bench should be installed
with the finished face forward. Unless instructed otherwise, the benches
do not need to be fastened to the walls. This will allow for ease in clean-
ing. However, if you desire no moveability of benches, fasten the benches
directly to the wall using 3” screws through the 2x4 bench framework (the
bench supports should still be used).
