Wooden sauna with metal cladding

Abstract

Wooden sauna with metal cladding characterized in that the wooden sauna (1) is clad with metal cladding at the corner joints of the four outer walls (2) (3) as well as the roof edges (4).

Description

Area of ​​application:

[0001] The invention relates to a wooden sauna - in particular for self-assembly - whose corners and edges are provided with metal cladding so that there are no exposed and unprotected corners and edges in the horizontal and vertical directions. A) The state of the art

[0002] State-of-the-art wooden saunas use prefabricated wooden components.

[0003] For production according to the modular principle, wooden planks or wooden boards are used, which must be pre-processed, impregnated and regularly maintained in order to be able to be assembled into a stable and as durable as possible, especially one that can withstand the weather conditions.

[0004] From DE 20 2019 001 931 U1 a cabin for sauna is known, characterized in that the system has an outer skin made of stainless steel sheet, which is folded into a regular octagon. B) Deficiencies and disadvantages of previous solutions

[0005] State-of-the-art wooden saunas are particularly susceptible to moisture penetration at the corner joints and exposed wooden edges. Experience shows that this leads to the wooden construction elements beginning to rot, thus limiting the durability of the wooden sauna. Tearing can also occur in the wood, particularly at the screw entry holes, which in turn promotes moisture penetration.

[0006] The familiar wooden saunas also lack weather resistance. Due to the use of wood as a natural raw material, they are maintenance-intensive and short-lived, including in terms of expansion behavior.

[0007] The saunas known according to the state of the art also tend to consist of narrow wooden components, which can lead to instability, especially at the corner joints which are under tension, for example in strong winds.

[0008] State-of-the-art wooden saunas with metal cladding are located inside the sauna cabin. The disadvantage is that moisture—caused, for example, by sweating or infusions—can't escape properly. This leads to more moisture in the sauna cabin, which can lead to mold growth and a shorter lifespan of the sauna.

[0009] According to the state of the art, there is no construction of a wooden sauna in which the side walls of the sauna are made of wood, while the corner joints and the horizontal and vertical edges are provided with metal cladding. C) Solution by the present invention

[0010] The invention is therefore based on the object of demonstrating a construction of a wooden sauna which ensures protection against the ingress of moisture as well as stability, ensures a long service life by preventing the effects of expansion or shrinkage of the natural material wood on the construction as a whole, which is low-maintenance and correspondingly cost-effective in terms of maintenance and easy to assemble.

[0011] This object is achieved according to the invention by the construction of the wooden sauna whose corners and edges are provided with metal cladding with the features of claim 1.

[0012] The invention is characterized by the fact that the corners and edges of the wooden sauna are provided with metal cladding, so that there are no exposed and unprotected corners and edges.

[0013] The sauna is clad with metal at the corners where the side walls meet. This prevents moisture from penetrating the corner joints, which are susceptible to moisture penetration. The clad ensures the weather resistance of the wooden sauna. The metal also prevents insects or fungi from penetrating the clad wood. Furthermore, the use of metal provides additional stability to the structure, with the corner joints being further strengthened from the outside by the metal.

[0014] In addition, metal cladding is found on the edges of the wooden sauna. This applies to both the edges where the roof structure meets the body, as well as the side front edges of the porch and its supports.

[0015] Furthermore, the edge cladding protects the exterior wall / facade of the wooden sauna from weathering caused by heavy rain, hail, or snow. The cladding thus contributes to reduced maintenance, weather resistance, and the longevity of the wooden sauna.

[0016] The wooden sauna is designed for self-assembly. Easy installation is ensured by the precisely prefabricated wood and metal elements. The typical sauna look is retained, while the customer has the option of choosing the colors for both the wood and metal elements. D) Example of implementation

[0017] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the single Fig. 1 explained.

[0018] It shows Fig. 1: Construction of the wooden sauna with metal cladding

[0019] In the Fig.Figure 1 shows the construction of the wooden sauna with metal cladding. The invention is characterized in that a wooden sauna (1) whose corner joints of the four outer walls (2) are clad with metal cladding (3), as are the roof edges (4) and the supports (5) of the porch (6).
