Sauna Companies Hate Me For Building This

What happens here

After insulation and the vapor barrier are in place, the interior of the sauna is finished. Wooden planks, typically cedar or other aromatic and rot-resistant wood, are cut to size and installed on the interior walls and ceiling. These planks are usually tongue-and-groove or shiplap to create a tight seal and an attractive finish. The video shows the builder meticulously installing these planks.

Goal: Finish the sauna's interior surfaces with wood paneling
