You don't just make a "normal" room a sauna by sticking a sauna heater in it, even a bathroom. All the materials in the room need to be moisture resistant. That means no drywall, no particle board cabinetry, and no wood cabinetry/trim unless that wood is something naturally resistant like cedar, cypress, teak, etc. There needs to be a hefty ventilation system to remove the steam when you're done, a standard bathroom exhaust fan doesn't have adequate capacity. And the door needs to be able to make a positive seal all the way around so you're not flooding the adjoining room(s) with humidity. This is especially true if you have central air and the bathroom has a supply register in it.

That bathroom fills with steam all the time from the hot showers never a problem

[Anonymous No.2565130]

A sauna generates vastly larger amounts of steam than taking a shower. A standard exhaust fan can handle shower steam, it can't handle sauna levels of steam in an adequate amount of time.

People complaining about humidity, there are high temperature low humidity saunas, you know?

thank goodness the helpful boomer showed up to talk the retard out of his retarded idea.
we could have all had some fun in three to six months when he made the inevitable 'black mold' post, but no - the helpful boomer had to show us all how helpful and smart he is.

At that point why not just plug in a space heater and crank it to max?

[Anonymous No.2565203]

Think the biggest issue you’ll have is insulating the heat. You want the temp to reach 165-185 at least. Paint might get toxic at that temp idk.

Ok retard if that's was what you looking for you go it enjoy

Can I put one of these inside a giant tent

[Anonymous No.2566522]

>>2565772
Yes, but it's going to be extremely inefficient as the heat will radiate out through the thin tent material very quickly.

Standard sauna heaters don't generate steam. They produce a dry heat. Generally at 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam is only created if you splash water on the sauna rocks, assuming you get a heater that's water safe. Some cheaper versions have exposed heater coils and shouldn't have water thrown on them.

you can just run a hot shower, block the threshold with a towel and place Styrofoam on the vents and sort the vacuum thang. much cheaper

The idea of this but they have confused sauna and steam room, saunas get very hot and dry, likely your ceiling could crack and disintegrate, but yeah what he said applies to furniture. Also i dont know if you need special windows.

>>2565112

And also dont have a locking bathroom door if you so this or someone may die from the heat.

There should be no more than 135cm from sitting level to ceiling. Bathrooms are also usually too big to heat. Ceiling moisture barrier can't take the heat if it's plastic. We use aluminium laminated PU-boards under wood paneling to line saunas in Finland.

Bathroom doors lock from the inside, not the outside.

Finngolian sauna-autist here. There's more than meets the eye when constructing a sauna and you clearly haven't considered even the superficial stuff yet so I'd have to advice against.
What you could get is an Infrared Sauna. It's completely different experience and mechanism but there are self-contained models that you can stick in your living room if you want. It doesn't generate much heat and produces no water vapours.

IKI stoves might look like trendy fuckshit but are actually the most efficient and robust sauna stoves available.

An infrared heater is going to heat the object directly, whereas a space heater will heat the air and often has a fan to increase convection heat transfer.
Infrared sauna feels cozy and relaxing. Being in a room with a space heater makes you feel parched and terrible. If you add a humidity source in there you'll run in to the same troubles as discussed beforehand: loads of small-particle water vapours and condensation due to the heat gradient.
An infrared sauna is no replacement to a stove-powered, löyly-chucking, birch sauna-whisk whacking and beer drinking sauna, but it provides similar experience in relaxation and health improvement.

Also, if you have yard space, build the sauna outside. That's where they belong. You don't need to worry about the vapours or condensation water seeping in to your insulation and molding that shit up.
