Do I need to have drainage in the sauna?

Release time:May 13,2026

A drain is nice to have-particularly for cleaning purposes-but is not essential. In new construction, adding a drain in the middle of the sauna floor is easy to do and quite inexpensive. However, in a remodeling situation or when adding a modular sauna to an existing area of a home, it is sometimes difficult-and expensive-to add a drain. Check with your sauna manufacturer.The shower is always separate from the sauna room; the only water in your sauna is what you ladle onto the rocks. Whatever water spills on the floor will dry by itself at the end of the sauna session as the rocks cool. However, if you prefer, wet-mop the floor to wipe up any water and/or to maintain floor cleanliness.
