Home Spa in Dubai: Room Sizes for Sauna, Steam and Shower

Resim
Updated: 4 November 2026 Photo: Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions. Short answer: for a villa home spa in Dubai, typical room sizes are about 1.5 × 2.0 m for a 2–3 person sauna, 1.8 × 2.0 m for a 2–3 person steam room, 1.0 × 1.2 m for a shower, and a ceiling of about 2.1–2.4 m in the hot rooms. These are typical practice values we start from; every room is drawn to its users, the heater or generator and the space available. How big should a villa sauna be? Sized to the people who sit together. A typical practice value is about 60 cm of bench length per seated person, an upper bench around 100–110 cm high, and a ceiling around 2.1–2.3 m, so heat stays where people sit. A Finnish sauna runs at 80–100 °C; a room that is too tall wastes that heat above the bench. How big should a steam room be? Slightly larger than a sauna for the same users, because benches often run on 2 walls and the ceiling slopes. A typical practice value is about 1.8 × 2.0 m for 2–3 people, with a ceiling of about 2.2...

Salt Room Build-Up: Substrate, Fixings and Air Handling

Resim
Updated: 3 November 2026 Photo: Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions. Short answer: a salt wall is a dry finish built in 5 layers: a stable substrate, a moisture-tolerant backing with an air gap, a fixing system for the salt bricks or panels, salt-based joints, and backlighting set in the gap with drivers outside. The floor is a sealed base with loose salt over it. The room stays dry through its own air system; a typical practice value is to keep it well below 60 % relative humidity. What substrate does a salt wall need? A stable, dry wall that does not move: masonry, concrete or a braced stud wall with board. Salt is heavy and brittle; a wall that flexes cracks joints and loosens bricks. Any wall that can carry damp, such as an outside wall or one shared with a wet room, gets a vapour-control layer and an air gap before salt is fixed. How are salt bricks or panels fixed? There are 3 common methods: stacked bricks bonded with salt-based mortar on a ledge at the base, bricks or tiles fixed...

Spa Consultant Scope: The Drawings That Come Before MEP

Resim
Updated: 29 October 2026 Photo: Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions. A spa consultant should hand the MEP designer 6 sets of drawings before any duct or pipe is drawn: a room schedule, a zoning plan, dimensioned room layouts, sections with ceiling heights, an equipment schedule with loads, and a plant room layout. Without them, the MEP team designs for a spa that does not exist yet. Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions prepares this set on hotel and villa projects. Why do the spa drawings have to come before MEP? Because the thermal rooms set the services, not the other way round. A sauna at 80–100 °C, a steam room at 40–50 °C near 100 % humidity and a cold plunge pool (which we build for water from 2 to 15 °C) each bring their own power, water, drain and air needs. Drawn late, they end up squeezed around ducts that are already fixed. Which drawings does the consultant deliver, and what does MEP take from each? The set below is what we hand over at the end of concept design. Each sheet answers a que...

A Villa Spa in Abu Dhabi: The Plant Room Checklist

Resim
Updated: 28 October 2026 Photo: Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions. A steam generator such as the Condair Sigma wants a steam hose no longer than 4 m and a plant room kept between 1 °C and 40 °C. That is why a villa spa in Abu Dhabi needs its plant room fixed before the layout, against 7 checks: space and access, distance to the steam room, cooling, a floor drain, a water test, power and noise. Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions plans these rooms with the villa design team. Why does the plant room come first? Because 3 of the 7 checks set where the spa rooms can go. The steam room must sit within a short pipe run of its generator, the chiller needs fresh air, and every appliance needs a drain. A plant room found late usually means moving a wall or a ceiling. Check Why it matters Decided by Space and access Each unit must be serviced and replaced Architect + spa contractor Distance to steam room Steam hose kept short, max 4 m for a Condair Sigma Spa contractor Cooling and air Generator room between...

Steam Generator Room: Water, Drain and Service Clearance

Resim
Updated: 27 October 2026 Photo: Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions. A steam room runs at 40–50 °C and close to 100 % relative humidity, and all of that steam comes from a generator in a small room next door. That room needs 4 things drawn before the walls go up: a cold water feed, a drain for hot flush water, a dedicated power supply and space to service the unit. Where should the generator room be? Close to the steam room, dry, ventilated and inside the building's frost-free zone: those 4 conditions decide the position. The shorter the steam line, the less steam condenses on its way, so the cupboard usually shares a wall with the steam room or sits across a corridor from it, never inside the wet room itself. A generator is an electrical appliance with water inside it. It belongs in a space that stays dry when the steam room is washed down, with a floor drain or a drip tray under it and a door that opens fully. A ceiling void above a hotel corridor looks convenient on plan and becomes ...

Sauna ventilation in a Gulf villa: where supply and exhaust go

Resim
Short answer: sauna ventilation brings fresh air in close to the heater and lets used air out away from it, and the exact positions come from the heater manufacturer's manual. EOS, Harvia and Tylö each publish their own rules, and they do not all agree, so we design the vents to the manual of the heater actually installed. Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions builds saunas for Gulf villas; this is how we place the openings. Updated: 26 October 2026 A sauna heater warms the room by convection. The EOS manual describes it plainly: fresh air is drawn in through the inlet, warmed by the heater, rises and circulates, and some of the used air is pushed out through the outlet. Put the openings in the wrong place and that loop breaks: the heater overheats, the top bench stays cool, or the air goes the wrong way. Why does sauna ventilation matter for the heater? Because the heater depends on the air reaching it, and 2 manufacturers say so in writing. The EOS manual warns that if the air su...

Steam room door: glass, seal, gap and outward swing

Resim
Short answer: a steam room door is usually clear tempered safety glass, it opens outward so a guest can push it to leave, and it is held shut by a simple roller catch or a magnetic strip rather than a lock. Its seals keep steam in a room running at 40–50 °C and close to 100 % relative humidity, and the gap under it is part of the room's air path. Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions builds steam rooms for hotels and villas; this is how we specify the door. Updated: 23 October 2026 The door is the one part of a steam room that guests touch every time they use it, and the one part that moves. It has to hold steam in, let a tired guest out without effort, survive daily wet cleaning and still close properly after thousands of cycles. A door chosen from a bathroom catalogue rarely does all of that. What glass should a steam room door be made of? Tempered safety glass, and usually clear. The Global Wellness Institute's hydrothermal guide calls for tempered safety glass doors in clea...
