Hi
Before I start I’ve never
really done any wood work or built anything so I am a layman I’ve just got
advice from family and used YouTube videos.
I think I’m nearly there, I’ve built the
floor up with posts in in postcrete, I’ve also added some concrete blocks for
extra support, I’ve then played down some pressure treated wood across. I’ve
read lots of posts in different forums on the internet about how important it
is to stop any bad chemicals getting into the sauna, some have said its not
that big of a deal because the floor doesn’t get that hot, but II think as many
would prob agree a sauna is meant to be healthy so any bad chemicals coming in
will cancel out the good effects.
I’ve followed several videos ....these were
helpful
This one below was
especially helpful as shows what he does to negate the bade chemicals...It
should start where he talks about the floor but if not its time 23.59
He says he uses 1cm wet room boards, i Just
want to confirm wet room boards are the same as tile backer boards or
backerboards I assume they are but I am a novice. Below are the two I am
considering for the floor

https://www.diy.com/departments/onb...0-h-1200mm-w-600mm-t-6mm/5065017007966_BQ.prd
Now the other option is
concrete backer boards as shown in this post (I also know you can actually
cement the whole floor but don’t think I have the skills for this yet).
Is there a preference or much of a muchness? If you need pictures I can try and upload,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
