Wall Panel Installation If the sauna is to be placed against existing wall(s), panel installation should begin at these sides. After these panels are in place, the sauna can be slid back towards the wall(s) keeping it 1/2” to 1” away. All wall panels are numbered at the top and should be readable from the interior of the room. These numbers will coincide with the numbers on the base frame. NOTE: The tongue and groove on the panels will always face the same direction.

IMPORTANT: If you are in a low ceiling height situation (space above sauna is less than 3”). You must put the top plate and ceiling panels in before installing the front wall panels as described in step 10 method B. NOTE: The door panel should be installed before your last corner panel is put in place. Use two people to move it as it is quite heavy.

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. K 15 Using #4 finishing nails (Pneumatic nailer preferred), nail the cove molding to the interior walls.
