ᐅ Sauna: Detailed Questions About Glass and Flooring

Hello,

our long-term outdoor sauna project is finally coming together. Unfortunately, we could only get regular window glass for the door.

Is there a film or coating that allows you to see out but prevents people from looking in? It is also important that when it is dark outside, you cannot see inside from the outside. We have installed LEDs in the sauna as well.

The stove is "floating" above the wooden floor. When doing a water pour (löyly), water drips down. What solutions are available for this? Would it be best to install tiles in this area?

Thank you all.

See out but not be seen from outside? Are you sure? I would try mirrored film for the opposite effect.

That won’t work with window film.

Sorry, you’re right 🙂)

I didn’t mean looking in^^

Complete privacy is only possible with electrochromic glass or blinds, etc. As soon as there is a light source inside, one-way films or glass will not work. Everything can be seen.

Cool, I hadn’t even thought about blinds.
