Step 1: Evaluating Your Space for a Home Sauna
Before diving into the world of home saunas, it’s important to assess your available space and evaluate the different sizing options.
Here are some factors to consider when evaluating your space for a home sauna:
Determine your available space
The first step in choosing a home sauna is to determine how much space you have available.
Clearlight® Infrared Saunas come in a range of sizes, from compact one-person models to spacious multi-person saunas.
Measure the dimensions of your space, taking into account any walls, doorways, or other obstacles, to ensure a proper fit.
Consider whether you want a free-standing sauna or an enclosure that can be installed into an existing room.
Keep in mind that free-standing saunas will require more space for ventilation and maintenance, while enclosures are more discreet and can easily blend with your home decor.
Considerations for indoor installations vs. outdoor installations
Deciding whether to install your home sauna indoors or outdoors depends on personal preference and the layout of your property. Here are some things to consider:
- Privacy: Indoor installations offer increased privacy, making relaxing and enjoying your sauna experience easier without interruptions.
- Ambiance and view: Consider if you prefer the atmosphere of being outdoors, enjoying nature views while you relax.
- Space availability: If you have limited indoor space, an outdoor installation could be a great option to maximize your available space.
- Safety: Ensure that the chosen placement for your outdoor sauna meets safety requirements and is protected from harsh weather elements.
Determining the ideal location for the optimal sauna experience
Choosing the right location for your sauna influences your overall experience. Here are a few factors to consider:
- Accessibility: Select a location that is easily accessible and convenient, especially if you plan to use your sauna regularly.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow by selecting a location near a window or with access to adequate ventilation.
- Electricity: Make sure the chosen location has access to electrical outlets to power the sauna. Hiring a professional electrician may be necessary if additional wiring is needed.
- Noise levels: Choose a location away from areas with high noise levels to create a peaceful, relaxing environment.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Type of Home Sauna
When selecting the correct type of home sauna, several options exist. One important distinction is between traditional saunas and infrared saunas.
Traditional saunas use hot rocks or steam to generate heat, while infrared saunas utilize carbon/ceramic heaters to produce infrared heat.
Here, we will focus on the unique features and benefits of Clearlight® Infrared Saunas, known for their superior quality and exceptional performance.
Comparing Traditional Saunas vs Infrared Saunas
When comparing traditional saunas to infrared saunas, there are a few key factors to consider:
- Heat: Traditional saunas reach higher temperatures, typically ranging from 160°F to 200°F (71℃ to 93℃), while infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures, typically around 120°F to 150°F (49℃ to 65℃).
- Healing Properties: Infrared saunas provide several health benefits due to their ability to penetrate the body’s tissues more deeply. This can aid in pain relief, improved circulation, and relaxation.
- Energy Efficiency: Infrared saunas are generally more energy-efficient compared to traditional saunas. The carbon/ceramic heaters used in Clearlight® Infrared Saunas convert approximately 90% of the energy into safe, therapeutic heat.

Clearlight® Infrared Saunas offer a range of unique features that set them apart from other saunas on the market. Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect:
- Low-EMF True Wave™ Carbon/Ceramic Heaters: The Clearlight® saunas are equipped with low-EMF True Wave™ Carbon/Ceramic heaters that emit the same type of far infrared heat as the sun and the human body. These heaters provide a gentle and efficient heat that deeply penetrates the body for maximum therapeutic benefit.

Step 3: Selecting the Ideal Features for Your Home Sauna
When choosing the right sauna for your home, there are several key features and options to consider.
These choices will enhance your sauna experience and ensure you get the most out of your investment. Here are some factors to keep in mind:
1. Heater Options
The type of heating technology used in your sauna dramatically impacts your overall experience. Clearlight® Infrared Saunas are equipped with True Wave™ Carbon/Ceramic heaters, which produce high-quality, penetrating infrared heat.
However, it’s important to understand the different heater options available and their effects. Consider the following:
- Full Spectrum: Full Spectrum heaters emit three types of infrared wavelengths, namely near, mid, and far. This provides a broader range of benefits, including pain relief and skin rejuvenation.
- Dual Spectrum: Dual Spectrum heaters combine near and far infrared wavelengths. They offer similar benefits to full-spectrum heaters but at a slightly lower price point.
- Far Infrared: Far infrared heaters emit long-range infrared waves that deeply penetrate the body, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and improved circulation.
2. Additional Features
Clearlight® Infrared Saunas come with various customizable options to enhance your sauna experience. Consider these additional features when selecting your perfect sauna:
- Chromotherapy: Enjoy the therapeutic benefits of coloured light therapy while relaxing in your sauna. Chromotherapy uses different colours to stimulate specific energy centers for physical and emotional well-being.
- Audio Systems: Create a serene atmosphere with built-in audio systems that allow you to listen to your favourite music or enjoy guided meditation during your sauna.
- User-Friendly Controls: Take control of your sauna experience with user-friendly control panels. Adjust temperature, time, and other settings according to your preferences.
By selecting the ideal features for your home sauna, you can maximize its benefits and create a personalized oasis of relaxation.
Consider your preferences, wellness goals, and available space when making these decisions.
