Thermory Square #40: Benches, Porch and Rear Window

Question 1

Are the Thermory Square #40 benches L-shaped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The upper seating turns from the long side wall across the back of this Square #40, forming an L. The rear bench sits below the panoramic window. From the doorway, you can see the corner where the two seating runs meet and the lower level in front.

Question 2

What can you see from the Thermory Square rear bench?

Accepted Answer

The rear bench faces into the room, with the large window directly behind its backrest. You can turn to look into the garden, while the long side bench gives a different angle across the window. The seated photos show both relationships, which a rear exterior photo cannot explain alone.

Question 3

Does the rear window replace the Square #40 backrest?

Accepted Answer

No. A wood backrest sits in front of the rear window in this Square #40. You can lean against the wood while retaining a broad view above and between its horizontal slats. The interior photograph shows the separation between the glass, backrest and bench.

Question 4

Does the Square #40 porch have seats outside the hot room?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This Square #40 has two porch seats, one on each side of the entrance. They sit outside the glass door under the extended roof. The porch photograph shows how the outdoor sitting area remains separate from the heated room beyond the doorway.

Question 5

Is the Thermory Square porch a changing room?

Accepted Answer

The porch in this installation is open to the outdoors. It has side seats and roof cover, but no outer wall or door enclosing it as a separate changing room. The front-corner view shows the open edge, roof extension and entry into the hot room.

Question 6

Does the Square #40 have glass at both ends?

Accepted Answer

This Square #40 has glazing around the front entrance and a broad panoramic window at the rear. From the porch you can look through the open door toward the rear window. The combination gives different outward views from the long bench and the back bench.

Question 7

How square is the Thermory Square inside?

Accepted Answer

The Square has long, relatively straight side walls with rounded transitions into the roof, rather than a fully circular barrel cross-section. The long-bench viewpoint shows that upper corner and the ceiling above the door. This shape is one reason its interior feels different from the round Thermory Barrel.

Question 8

Is the floor in the Thermory Square a curved barrel floor?

Accepted Answer

The photographed Square #40 has a flat slatted walking surface through the center of the room. The lower bench remains a distinct raised surface beside it. Looking in from the porch makes the floor, threshold and seating levels easy to separate.

Question 9

What covers the outside roof of this Thermory Square?

Accepted Answer

A dark roof covering wraps across the top and upper sides of this Square #40. Wood remains visible below it and around the porch frame. The front-corner photograph shows the edge between the roof covering and the lower wall boards on the actual outdoor installation.

Question 10

How does the Thermory Square shell go together?

Accepted Answer

Our Square build video shows the end panels set in place and the long staves fitted around them, including the rounded upper corners. The finished side photograph shows that same board direction on the completed sauna. The video helps explain the construction; use the matching manual for the assembly sequence.
