INSTALLATION OF SAUNA ROOM

1. 1. Position the base frame (or optional floor panel) in the desired location on a level surface.

2. Fasten the corners of the base frame using one 3” screw at each corner in the predrilled holes.
   Note: Predrilled holes are purposely made at an angle.
   Note: The base must be level before installing wall and ceiling panels. If the surface is not level, you may need to shim the floor panel to get it level.
   The base is numbered to correspond with the panels for correct locations. The front right wall panel is labeled #1, the front panel of the right side wall is labeled #2 and etc…(See picture below)
   Note: The 4 x 6 room has a one-piece side wall system, and the and 5 x 6 and 5 x 7 rooms have a two-piece side wall system. The two-piece system is shown, but the process is the same for the one-piece system.

3. Place the front right corner wall panel (panel 1) on the outer edge of the corresponding floor panel.

4. Place the front panel of the right wall (panel 2) on the floor and butt it to the front panel.

5. Secure the right wall to the front wall with three 3” Torq screws (provided). Install one screw on the top of the wall, one in the middle, and one on the bottom. Ensure the tongue and groove wall boards are tight together at the interior corner of the sauna and the corner is flush on the outside edge when screws are installed.

6. Install the next wall panel of the right wall. Ensure the tongue and groove are fully engaged between panels.

7. Secure the two wall panels together with a 3” screw where the panels meet on top. Ensure tongue and groove are fully engaged.

8. Install the next panel in the number series. Secure the side wall to the back wall panel with three 3” Torq screws. Ensure the tongue and groove are tight at the interior corner when screws are installed.

9. Install the second and third panels of the back wall. Repeat step 7 between each back panel.

10. Install the next panel in the number series. Secure to the back wall with three Torq screws. Ensure the tongue and groove are tight at the interior corner when screws are installed.

12. Install the door panel next to the right front wall panel. Repeat step 7 between wall panels.

13. Install the remaining wall panel to the door panel. Repeat step 7 between wall panels.

14. Secure left front wall panel to the left side wall with three 3” Torq screws.
    Ensure the tongue and groove are tight at the interior corner when screws are installed.

15. Install top plates to the corresponding wall panels on front and back sides with the notched ends facing up. Install the left and right side top plates so they fit into the notches. Note: Before installing top plates, ensure all panels are connected together on top and on the corners.

16. Secure top plates using the 2” Torq screws. Install one screw in each corner and one screw in the center of each wall.

17. Install corner caps to each corresponding wall panel using Brad nails or finishing nails (not supplied).
    Note: Some woods will twist, which is normal, so installation can be more difficult. See end of manual for suggestions on how to install a twisted corner cap.

20. Place the left ceiling panel on the room (left and center panels of the NS 57). Ensure the tongue and groove fully engages.

21. Fasten ceiling panels down to the wall panels using 3” screws.
    Note: Ceiling panels are designed ¼” smaller than the opening. Make sure the top of the sauna walls are square with the ceiling panels.
    Note: Trim is sent long and needs to be trimmed onsite for proper fit.

22. Nail fascia trim to the exterior back wall so it is flush to the left and right edges of the wall.
    Note: The fascia top should be flush with the top of the wall panel.
