Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier

Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier

Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier reflects the radiant heat back into the sauna

Calculate the exact square feet of your sauna interior in our Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier Calculator below!

Staple the sauna foil vapor barrier to the studs (AFTER insulating walls with batting) or over drywall (aluminum side showing) — adds 1R insulation factor by reflecting radiant heat into the sauna. NOTE: We provide 4″ of overlap for FREE

Simply measure and select your Width × Length × Height below

This package of sauna foil will have enough to cover 4 walls, the ceiling with a 4″ overlap (FREE), less the door’s rough opening (R.O.) = 14 sq. ft.

Comes in a 54″ wide roll. However our Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier Calculator is based on a 48″ roll, so your overlap is taken care of! Aluminum foil sauna vapor barrier is one of the necessary components for traditional sauna room construction. We use foil in all the saunas we manufacture. Do NOT use other vapor barrier materials, such as plastic, Visqueen or Tivek. They melt and/or release an unpleasant odor.

  • The formula below covers 4 walls × height plus ceiling less the door sq ft (2x7′)

    Coverage calculation: 4 Walls × Height + Ceiling – Door R.O. = Sauna Walls and Ceiling Sq Ft
    Actual Formula: 2 × (W + L) × H + (W × L) – Door Area = Area Covered by Sauna Foil
    Per WxLxH selection: 2 × (4 + 6) × 7 + (4 × 6) – 14 = 150 Sq Ft
    We send you a 54″ width We ONLY charge for 48″ (45¢/sq.ft.) You'll receive 38 Ft Long Roll (54″ W)

    Per the WxLxH below, we'll send you 38 Ft. long roll × 54 inches = 39¢/sq. ft. actual price!! So basically we're taking care of your overlap for FREE

    Do we use foil tape to seal the overlap? No. We simply staple our foil to the studs, then shoot 18g stainless steel nails thru the tongues of the cedar. This makes for a nice tight fit. Note: Some sauna purists, like to add 3/4″ spacers over the foil and the cedar liner boards. This allows for both reflective and conductive insulation and heat moves freely behind the cedar paneling, but of course reduces the size of the sauna
