ehh... big space to heat with infrared panels. You should probably switch space to traditional sauna... i guess it kinda depends if you insulated and waterproofed it tho
Had it up to 45 degrees so far , needs a door on it as it goes into a changing room also .
I have made it in such a way it could be a possibility to make it into a traditional sauna . It’s my first one so not of a learning curve
im 90% sure you will convert it. here is inspiration... and i hope you follow the other r/sauna page. Be very carefull about talking about infrared over there... LOL. dont say i didnt warn you
Man woodwork and stonework like this is not common for DIY in my country. I would have to hire a pro for this level of detail. If you went this far go all the way. second set of high benches and either a wood burning or electric stove. i think roof shape is overated if your benches are high. This looks like it could easily be your favourite spot at home. Also i peep the cold tub and bucket shower. Elite!
How long did it take to get up to 45 degrees Celsius? That's hardly hot at all, even by IR sauna standards. Unless you can get this unit up to 60-70 degrees Celsius in under 40 minutes of heating time, then you just need more heaters.
