I asked him why more people in the UK didn't have home saunas like in Finland, and he said it was a planning/building control issue that prevented most people who wanted to from putting one in
That and the materials and know-how to build one without killing the occupants / creating an unholy mess, and meeting the regs aren't readily available at a price folks are willing to pay.
I once had a chat with the guy who runs the Finnish Sauna in that church in Rotherhithe (top recommendation btw, it can be hired for relatively cheap: https://lontoo.merimieskirkko.fi/the-finnish-church-in-london/) and I asked him why more people in the UK didn't have home saunas like in Finland, and he said it was a planning/building control issue that prevented most people who wanted to from putting one in - you might want to make sure that whatever you're planning is within the regs.
