The Fah Outdoor Sauna Room – 14 Person

A striking contemporary sauna featuring panoramic glass panels and an integrated weatherproof roof — engineered for outdoor installation. Handcrafted in Thailand by our Finnish master builder using time-honoured techniques adapted for the local climate.

This configuration measures 5000 × 3000 × 2300mm providing comfortable seating for 14 people. The black aluminium ribbed-profile roof with a 150mm overhang protects against rain and sun, allowing placement in fully exposed locations—poolside, garden settings, rooftop terraces, or resort grounds.

Robust galvanised steel framing paired with precision-cut tongue-and-groove timber creates a structure built to endure. Crystal-clear 12mm tempered glass maximises the connection between interior warmth and outdoor surroundings, while integrated ventilation ensures proper airflow throughout each session.

Select from six timber finishes: Teak, Red Cedar, Pine, or Pine with Shou Sugi Ban treatment in light, medium or dark char levels. Every timber is chosen specifically for performance under intense heat conditions.

The sauna ships as factory-assembled panels — four walls, ceiling, flooring, and roof — designed to connect without specialist construction knowledge. Most installations are complete within 2-4 hours using standard tools and an extra pair of hands. Professional assembly can be arranged if preferred.

Every Fah outdoor sauna room ships complete with a traditional, TÜV Safety Certified, stone heater featuring wall-mounted touchscreen control, volcanic sauna stones, ambient interior lighting, bucket and ladle set, thermometer, and sand timer. The optional Wi-Fi module enables smartphone control via the iOS or Android app.

Teak

• Distinguished tropical hardwood containing natural oils that repel moisture, decay and pests. Warm honey-gold colouring that develops character over time. Outstanding longevity with a refined, comfortable surface.

Red Cedar

• Select-grade softwood displaying rich reddish-brown hues and distinctive grain patterns. Naturally fragrant with inherent resistance to rot, insects and moisture — emitting a gentle woody aroma when heated. The benchmark timber for outdoor saunas and an enduring favourite across all settings.

Pine

• Traditional Nordic sauna wood offering a clean, pale appearance. Responsibly harvested softwood that excels in elevated temperatures. Budget-conscious option delivering authentic Scandinavian aesthetics.

Pine Shou Sugi Ban – Light

• Pine processed using the ancient Japanese charring method for improved resilience and a delicate smoky character. Light treatment maintains visible grain while adding protective qualities and modern appeal.

Pine Shou Sugi Ban – Medium

• Intensified charring produces a deep, lustrous surface with prominent grain definition. This traditional Japanese technique enhances weather resistance while creating a distinctive contrasting finish.

Pine Shou Sugi Ban – Dark

• Complete char treatment yields a bold charcoal-black exterior with dramatic textural depth. Superior surface protection combined with striking visual presence. A signature piece for contemporary sauna architecture.

Q: What distinguishes The Fah from The Nallak?

A: The Fah and The Nallak share identical construction quality, glazing, and timber selections. The distinction is installation environment: The Fah incorporates a black aluminium ribbed profile roof with 150mm overhang, engineered for fully exposed outdoor placement. The Nallak omits the external roof, making it suited to indoor settings.

**Q: Can The Fah be installed indoors?

A: The Fah is optimised for outdoor environments. For interior installation, The Nallak offers the same premium features without the external roof. However, The Fah can be placed under covered outdoor areas if preferred.

**Q: Is the glazing suitable for outdoor sauna conditions?

A: Absolutely. All panels utilise 12mm tempered safety glass, rated for the extreme temperatures and humidity of sauna operation. Tempered glass offers considerably greater strength than standard glass and, should breakage occur, fragments into small granular pieces rather than dangerous shards.

**Q: Which timber performs best outdoors?

A: For exposed locations, Teak and Red Cedar provide superior natural weather resistance. Pine performs well but benefits from the roof protection The Fah provides. Pine Shou Sugi Ban combines the charring treatment's enhanced durability with distinctive visual character. All options are suitable — selection depends on aesthetic preference and budget.

**Q: Is professional installation necessary for The Fah outdoor sauna room?

A: Not required. The sauna arrives as pre-fabricated panels — walls, ceiling, flooring, and roof — engineered to connect without specialised skills. Competent DIYers typically complete assembly in 2-4 hours with assistance. The process resembles large flat-pack furniture construction. Full instructions accompany every order. Professional fitting available on request.

**Q: What site preparation does outdoor installation require?

A: Position The Fah on a level, stable foundation — concrete pad, paving stones, or reinforced decking all work effectively. Maintain minimum 30cm clearance around the unit for ventilation and maintenance access. The integrated roof handles weather exposure, though placement considering prevailing wind direction improves comfort.

**Q: What electrical specifications apply to the heater?

A: The standard heater requires a dedicated electrical circuit. Single phase (200-240V) installations need 28A capacity with 6.0mm² cabling. Three phase (380-415V) requires 9A capacity with 2.5mm² cabling. Single phase supports heaters to 12kW. Licensed electrician installation is mandatory.

**Q: How do the heater options differ?

A: The standard stone heater features an enclosed design delivering consistent heat distribution and reliable steam generation. Open stone heaters (premium upgrade) present the stones visibly for traditional aesthetics and direct water application onto rocks. Every heater carries TÜV Safety Certification.

**Q: How is temperature managed?

A: Each Fah outdoor sauna room includes a wall-mounted touchscreen controller for accurate temperature adjustment. Add the optional WiFi module to operate your sauna through the smartphone app — convenient for preheating before you're ready to step in.

**Q: How do I determine the right size?

A: The Fah outdoor sauna room range spans compact 2-3 person units through to larger models accommodating families or commercial traffic. Should standard dimensions not suit your location, we manufacture custom sizes to precise specifications.

**Q: Are custom dimensions possible?

A: Certainly. Every Fah outdoor sauna room is constructed locally in Thailand by our Finnish craftsman, enabling bespoke sizing for your exact requirements. Submit your specifications for a quotation.

**Q: What comes standard with the sauna?

A: Every Fah outdoor sauna room includes: panoramic tempered glass panels (12mm), insulated ceiling panel, black aluminium weatherproof roof with 150mm overhang, traditional TÜV Safety Certified stone heater, wall-mounted touchscreen controller, volcanic sauna stones, heat-rated interior light, wooden bucket and ladle, wall-mounted thermometer, hourglass timer, timber door handle, and detailed installation guide (English).

**Q: What foundation is necessary?

A: A flat, solid base is essential. Concrete slabs, paving, or reinforced timber decking all provide suitable support. Allow 30cm minimum clearance surrounding the sauna for airflow and servicing.

**Q: What is the delivery timeframe?

A: Standard orders ship within 4-6 weeks of confirmation for most Thai destinations. Custom dimensions may extend lead times. Your specific delivery schedule is confirmed during order processing.

**Q: What are the running costs?

A: Electric heaters typically consume ฿500-1,000 monthly for regular usage (3-4 weekly sessions), varying with unit size and heater output. Upkeep requirements are modest — periodic cleaning of glass and timber surfaces.

**Q: Is The Fah outdoor sauna room appropriate for commercial settings?

A: Definitely. The galvanised steel framework and quality construction accommodate heavy use patterns, while the distinctive contemporary styling creates a memorable feature for hotel spas, health clubs, and wellness destinations.
