Enclosing your sauna bench is not necessary and best to leave accessible
We DO like the style and functionality of adding bench facing to our sauna benches. It’s a style choice that complements in these ways:
- The sauna bench facing hides the space in the back of the sauna, and
- Gives the lower bench sauna bathers a useful back rest, and
- When lighted offers a wonderful soft ambiance from underneath.
The bench facing does not enclose the air space though.
