How to properly seal a room

[PaulieWaulie]

I am building a sealed room with 4 k hps and co2. Any information about properly sealing the room. I am having the lights open, and no intake or outake. Im just planning it out. Will I have temperature issues. It is in a cold basement over the winter. Please give suggestions so I can plan this right. is there a link for sealed room construction..

You will probably want to air cool those lights or plan on installing an A/C, probably both. 4000 watts can get pretty hot.

If the room is built for this, then you should have a flat ceiling and walls. Drywall and taping all the joints should work. I used panda film as my ceiling had all the mechanicals of the house (plumbing, AC vents, etc) and my walls were not flat either.

I can tell you if you use any duct tape, use the gorrilla brand. Its a little more but seems to hold up to the heat. Normal duct tape looses its adhevisness. I am talking about your normal everyday tape, not the silver foil tape used on ducts, or real duct tape. hope that makes sense

have considered the magnetic seals that are on refrigerators to cinch the seal of doors...

So if the walls are not flat and totally uneven, I would just line the outside with panda film, and tape it it all together, ceilings, walls, and floors ? and add a zipper ? How should I attach the panda film to the ceilings ?

small squares of cardboard & a staple gun spray adhesive works to hold it up tell you can tack it in....

Im sorry For Some reason I thought there is some sophisticated way to seal a room. But tacking panda film to the walls, and taping it all together. I already new that. LOL.. I guess I will just do a clean job of it and thats the best I can do.
