Should I use protective railings with my sauna heater?

Updated September 3, 2024

Yes, we recommend using protective railings with your sauna heater, especially in smaller or more compact sauna spaces where the risk of accidental contact is higher. Protective railings provide an important layer of safety by reducing the chance of someone inadvertently coming into contact with the hot heater, particularly if they slip or fall. However, it’s important to note that while protective railings significantly enhance safety, they do not eliminate all risks. We encourage everyone to exercise caution and be mindful of their surroundings when enjoying their sauna session.

You can build your own protective railings or have your sauna builder create one that fits seamlessly with your sauna setup and heater. Alternatively, you can look at our specially designed, safety railings here:
