Sauna Humidity Secret: Himalayan Salt Panels Stay Dry!

Sauna Design: Himalayan Salt Panels and High Humidity In a recent video posted online, Aleksandr Shkor, a sauna and bath interior specialist from Belarus with over a decade of experience (expertsauna.by), demonstrated the effectiveness of Himalayan salt panels in high-humidity environments. The video shows a sauna with alder wood paneling and a prominent salt panel. Shkor points out that the humidity in the sauna reached 74-75%, yet the salt panel remained completely dry. He explains that this is because the probability of condensation decreases significantly at higher temperatures, a common condition in a properly heated sauna. "At 21 degrees Celsius, even with 75% humidity, the salt panel stays dry," Shkor states in the video. This observation contradicts some common misconceptions about the use of salt panels in saunas. The video suggests that the use of Himalayan salt panels can be a beneficial addition to sauna design, even in humid conditions. Shkor's video offers a practical demonstration of sauna design principles, providing valuable insights for both professionals and homeowners interested in creating a comfortable and efficient sauna.
