Question

We would like a sauna in the basement, there are only 2 small ventilation holes (10 x 5 cm) in the basement, this is a problem for the heat dissipation?
Can the sauna just at the concrete floor of the basement and there is still slightly below?

Answer
If I have to think that the sauna every once and not too long after each use you will probably find no problem. Use an electric heater or gas combustion and no. Especially the latter consumes much oxygen. With prolonged use, I do not dare to predict. The sauna is on the floor. Rather even a few “feet” zpdat fluid can not possibly raise. A “crack” at the bottom can go no harm, because hot air rises and therefore the sauna will hang until the heat can not be higher. Is there an opening greater than can be naturally “pull or draft” created.
