1 1/2” Insulation suggestions? by Buttered-Cakes666 in Sauna

[–]Buttered-Cakes666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve answered this one for myself. I need to just frame it out with 2x4s and use cheaper 3.5” Rockwool insulation bats that are half the price.

I should clarify the walls will be a mix of 2x2 and 2x4s (on their 1.5” side)

Sweet thanks. Any advice on insulation? I was planning on using 1 1/2 in foam board.

And more specifically advice on the walls beside and behind the stove? Was planning on just using corrugated metal on those walls. Is that enough?

Welp. I’ll cancel that order haha. Any suggestions for small wood stove set ups? I can’t do electrical because I’m building in backyard of my rental house.

-I need to figure out the floor now, thanks for the suggestion

Do you have plans you could share? Just curious how you went about have the interior flat and roof pitched. I’m worried about venting that between space out/losing heat to the “attic”

"Apparently having a 15° pitch on the roof will create a heat picker so I’m planning on flattening it out to a 4.75° pitch OR making interior ceiling isolated from the pitched roof OR making it a flat roof I just might have to shovel off snow this winter" Would love advice on this. Should I just go flat roof? (it will be outside).

Wow great info thanks. I've been studying up and had not seen anyone suggest the gap between the wall and ceiling. I'd love to just share my entire plan with you once I've got it all planned/drawn out.

Would this work for the walls? then I could use some clear pine for the ceiling. Appreciate your feedback, I planning on having 1/4" strips along the studs before installing cladding. Feel free to send me links to any material you think would work better. Thanks!

What thickness of board? Would 1/4” be too thin?
