Infrared sauna ready in ten minutes

Radiant heaters warm the body directly at 40 to 60 degrees. They fit into a bathroom or bedroom and require only a standard socket. We build them to measure, not from a box.

How an infrared sauna works

Instead of heating the air, infrared panels radiate heat directly into the body. You warm up at a lower temperature, without steam and without long pre-heating. That is why it is chosen by people who do not tolerate Finnish saunas well, as well as those who want to warm up every evening without any ritual.

Emitters: ceramic, carbon, or a combination

  • Ceramic heaters provide more intense heat, have a shorter wavelength and a smaller surface area.
  • Carbon panels provide gentler heat over a larger area, heating more evenly from the back and sides.
  • Combination: carbon on the back and calves, ceramic on the front. Most of our installations.

Custom infrared sauna vs. Shop-bought cabin

Catalogue cabins have fixed dimensions, thin walls and heaters positioned according to the manufacturer, not your needs. A custom-made sauna utilises a recess or bathroom corner; benches are fitted to your height and heaters are aimed where heat is required. We select resin-free timber, most commonly linden, poplar or cedar.

What you need to prepare

A standard 230 V socket with its own fuse, a dry floor and space of at least 1 x 1 m for one person, 1.3 x 1.1 m for two. Ventilation is not required as with a Finnish sauna, but doors with glazing help prevent a feeling of confinement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an infrared sauna suitable for people with high blood pressure?

A lower temperature places less strain on circulation than a Finnish sauna; however, if you have heart conditions, we recommend consulting your doctor. We are not doctors; we build saunas.

How much does an infrared sauna consume?

The emitters have an output of 1.5 to 2.5 kW depending on size, and the sauna typically runs for 30 minutes. Consumption is a fraction of that of a Finnish sauna with an 8 kW heater.

Can an infrared sauna be built outdoors?

Yes, in an insulated cabin or as part of an outdoor sauna. Alone outdoors without insulation it will not heat up in winter, so we always combine it with an insulated shell when installed outside.
