What Is an Infrared Sauna?
Radiant Heat Instead of Heating the Entire Room
An infrared sauna uses infrared heating panels to deliver radiant heat directly to the body instead of relying primarily on a hot room and sauna stones. This allows infrared saunas to operate at lower air temperatures than traditional saunas while still creating a strong heat experience.
Infrared sauna rooms can be designed as dedicated custom spaces or incorporated into suitable bathrooms, home gyms and wellness rooms.
Infrared Heating Panels
Panel placement is planned around the seating layout and room dimensions.
Lower Air Temperature
Infrared rooms generally operate at lower air temperatures than traditional saunas.
Custom Interior
Wood, benches, glass, lighting and controls can be integrated into the finished room.
Designed Around the Room
Infrared Panel Placement Matters
A custom infrared room is designed around where people will sit and how radiant heat reaches the body. The position of the panels, benches, controls and electrical connections should all be considered together.
- Room dimensions and seating capacity
- Infrared panel type and placement
- Bench position and height
- Electrical circuit requirements
- Wood interior and finish
- Glass doors or wall sections
- Digital controls
- Optional ambient or chromotherapy lighting
