Halotherapy, known worldwide as a popular healing method, offers a health method implemented in many locations throughout Turkey through salt room structures. These rooms are meticulously constructed using building materials called salt bricks , completing numerous stages. At Çankırı Salt Lamp , we can also manufacture salt rooms using a professional 10-stage planning process.
These rooms offer significant health benefits, and are even preferred for aesthetically pleasing design in living, working, or commercial spaces. In such cases, the design and implementation must be meticulously executed, and experienced architects, engineers, and designers are involved in every step of our salt room construction projects. From selecting the right materials to implementing the right solution, to achieving a functional result, every step is meticulously executed.
1- Preparation of the Salt Room Project
When a salt room is requested within any business, residence, institution, hotel, or health center, a preliminary survey should be conducted. To develop the right project, the most appropriate section or room within the building where the application will be implemented must be selected. This is because a project is prepared by taking into account all dimensions of the space, geometry, light angle, humidity conditions, regulatory requirements, and environmental factors.
Salt room construction companies generally aim to create a functional, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing result that is minimally affected by all factors. In our company's project work, we prioritize selecting the ideal environment. For example, we recommend a well-ventilated location. The room should have the correct humidity and airflow, as well as an easy-to-use ventilation system.
The projected space can be selected to have an average size of around 20-30 m² . A minimum size of this size can be chosen based on the number of people participating in the therapy session and individual comfort requirements. However, larger or smaller spaces can also be quietly and comfortably accommodated, with acoustical preparations to ensure the desired room. Because a salt therapy room will generally be used for extended periods, it's essential to select the most appropriate flooring materials from floor to ceiling.
2- Determining the Salt Room Concept
Another crucial step in project development is the concept development process. Our architects on the project team can offer you examples of minimalist, industrial, or natural design options. Minimalist design achieves a simple and clean atmosphere, while modern industrial designs can achieve a sophisticated visual by combining concrete and glass with salt blocks. Similarly, natural, or rustic, designs can incorporate natural materials like Himalayan salt bricks, as well as wood or plants.
Once the salt room is in the right location, sized correctly, has good ventilation, and has a defined design style, the project is now in its final stages. Sketches are now being created with all the required details, and these are then digitized using 3D modeling and computer drawings. This allows for the completion of preliminary work, allowing for the necessary changes and adjustments to be made to the concrete designs.
3- Completion of Material Preparations
Once all the project details are finalized, the design concept is selected, and the dimensions are clearly defined, the materials preparation phase begins, based on the computer-generated project. For example, if a hotel is working on a salt room in Antalya , the details are finalized, and the list of required materials begins to be compiled.
Basically, the following structural and technical materials may be needed in processes such as the Antalya salt room construction project.
· Of course, the primary material is salt brick , and our company also uses Himalayan salt. The bricks used are Himalayan salt bricks, and sizes such as 20x10x5 cm or 20x10x2.5 cm can be chosen based on aesthetic or economic considerations.
· In practice, different brick and salt block options are available for some projects. While our company primarily uses Himalayan salt, some projects also utilize rock salt fragments. Alternatively, examples of salt rooms constructed using powdered salt spray are also available.
· For blocks and panels, seamlessly cut bricks from Himalayan salt rock are assembled with support materials. Assembly materials such as aluminum, special alloys, and steel are sometimes used.
· When there is a need for insulation against sound and heat at certain points within the room, all necessary insulation materials are prepared. Solutions are also developed to address the need for soundproof and airtight doors and windows within the room. Additionally, the necessary materials for systems such as humidification, alarm, security, ventilation, and lighting are also provided.
4- Adjusting Ambient Air and Humidity Systems
To begin work, after all materials have been procured in accordance with the project, ventilation and humidity control—the most crucial requirements for the salt room— must be established. This is because in a well-ventilated and humidity-controlled room, salt dust can disperse more effectively and achieve the desired benefits. Air circulation is generally calculated in liters based on the room's dimensions and the number of occupants. Circulation generally takes approximately one hour to complete.
During salt room use, humidity should remain between 45-50%, as it affects all the room's beneficial and functional features. Humidifiers or dryers can sometimes be used to achieve these humidity levels, depending on the room's size and the number of occupants. Furthermore, continuous thermostat and ventilation systems for constant temperature, humidity, and circulation control can achieve more efficient results.
5- Implementation of Sound and Lighting Applications
A salt room is designed to create a stress-reducing and calming environment. For example, while salt room installations for a hotel in Aydın aim to support therapeutic effects, they must also provide good lighting, quietness, and a safe environment. This includes ensuring good acoustic insulation and a reliable electrical panel and installation system. This is because optimal lighting, combined with a warm, quiet, and safe environment, is essential for projects like salt rooms .
6- Completion of Engineering Calculations and Designs
While design and work are carried out with attention to numerous architectural, decorative, and aesthetic details, a crucial step is the completion of engineering calculations and designs. While schematics forthe Himalayan salt room are created using computer-generated designs, engineering calculations are also used to calculate many details, including space usage, door placement, storage cabinet placement, ventilation angle, and wall dimensions.
For example, wall thickness is a crucial consideration, while the framework that will hold the walls together, as well as the steel or wood materials used for the framework, are also determined. For example, if a 30 m² room will be clad on four different walls, approximately 27 m² of bricks will be used for walls approximately 2.40 m high. 50 salt bricks, without wastage, are used per m² . Considering the 2.5 kg weight of each brick, engineering is essential to ensure the load-bearing capacity and durability of a wall of this size. Furthermore, engineering studies ensure accurate calculations for many details, from insulation designs to lighting, ventilation, and humidity control.
7- Project Approval and Preparatory Work
While the first phase of the project, addressing the question of how to build a salt room , has provided the necessary information. The next step is the project's approval and preparation. With all the architectural and engineering details finalized, the project is completed digitally, resulting in a final design that meets the client's needs and requirements while also meeting the standards. Once the design is approved, the preparation and implementation of all materials begins.
During the implementation phase, for example, for a project such as the construction of a hotel salt room, the following steps are followed.
· While ground survey and infrastructure works are provided for the approved project, operations such as completion of ground concrete leveling and waterproofing are carried out.
· While the structural support elements for wall cladding are applied in accordance with the calculations, preparations for installation are provided on the salt walls.
· With the floor and walls ready, the process of placing bricks on the walls for the salt room begins.
· A reliable and durable coating process is created by using suitable fillers and adhesives.
· All predetermined electrical systems, lighting systems, humidity control and ventilation systems are implemented with technical support.
· All operations are checked and tested by engineers and architects.
· During the testing phase, all processes such as security checks, humidity and emergency security system checks, aesthetic checks, maintenance trials, ventilation and acoustic checks are completed and the application is completed.
8- Making Final Customer Touches
Once the salt room has been professionally completed with all its engineering and architectural designs, the final aesthetic and functional touches can be applied. While accurate calculations and professional implementation are paramount, functionality and aesthetics are paramount to the user. For example, a modern application might require a salt room for a hotel in Kuşadası, sometimes with very fine lines and a distinct aesthetic.
Hotels in resort areas like Kuşadası may sometimes require modular furniture that can be ergonomically integrated into a salt room. Other requests include digital and sensor-based humidification or lighting systems, or the inclusion of cost-effective smart systems in the room. These types of user requests can add a more functional and modern touch to a room's design, creating a more impressive and functional space.
9- Project Completion Phase
Once the project reaches its final stage, with all the finishing touches complete, the project is delivered to the desired salt room benefits . During this process, a final inspection is conducted by architects, engineers, our company representatives, and the client, and a trial run is conducted. Documentation confirms that the project has been delivered without any issues; reports are submitted, instructions such as safety reports and maintenance procedures are prepared, and the project is delivered.
10- Approval of Salt Room Service
