Ingenious Sauna Design: Solving the High-Stove Puzzle

Sauna Construction: Why That High Stove Platform? A Belarusian sauna builder, known online as Александр Шкор (expertsauna.by), recently shared a video detailing a unique design choice in his current project. The video, uploaded on June 6th, 2025, focuses on the unusually high platform built beneath the sauna stove. "Here, the floor level will rise to the level of this pedestal," Шкор explains in the video, gesturing to the platform. "It'll be about 55 centimeters, so there will be steps from the entrance." This design, he continues, allows for a two-tiered shelving system above the platform. This detailed explanation, combined with the visual demonstration, offers valuable insight into sauna construction techniques. The video's popularity, with over 1200 views in a short time, demonstrates interest in such practical details. The project, based in Belarus, showcases modern sauna design and craftsmanship.
