How to Build a Sauna inside a Shed

What happens here

After installing the vapor barrier, apply a Reflectix radiant barrier over it. This reflective insulation helps to reflect heat back into the sauna, improving efficiency. Secure the radiant barrier to the studs and joists, ensuring that all seams are tightly sealed with aluminum foil tape or similar waterproof flashing tape to create a continuous barrier. This step is crucial for maintaining high temperatures within the sauna and preventing heat loss.

Tools and materials

  • Flashing Tape (waterproofing tape
  • e.g
  • for windows)
  • Reflectix Radiant Barrier
  • Staple Gun

going to the floor and go at it logic what we got here is uh the flashing for windows which is fine because it's like a waterproofing tape though it's a little more expensive it's a lot thicker and if it's a little chilly in here which it is it doesn't stick as well which is a surprise to me but this other stuff that stuff right there below it works perfectly it's it's just it's super sticky and so now we're gonna use the radiant uh barrier and so again this is to keep the temperature inside uh just cooking so we got this stuff it's about i think 50 bucks a roll four feet by 25 feet uh we have to do the ceiling we have to do the walls and then we'll have to figure out something for the floors because we don't want the heat to escape there let's get energy efficient [Music] [Applause] so two days worth of work right here you can bust out to get to the section about
