When considering an addition to your home that offers both relaxation and modern appeal, an infrared sauna is an excellent choice.
At Canada Wellness, we pride ourselves on providing top-quality infrared saunas that transform your home into a wellness sanctuary.
In this comprehensive infrared sauna guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about these therapeutic havens, helping you make an informed decision as you navigate the market.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas are a contemporary twist on traditional saunas, using infrared light to create heat.
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas directly heat your body, providing a more comfortable and efficient experience.
This direct heating method can result in a more intense and deeper sweat at lower temperatures while making it easy to add a sauna directly to your home!
How Infrared Saunas Work
Infrared saunas use infrared light, a type of radiant heat absorbed by the skin’s surface. There are three types of infrared light used in saunas: near, mid, and far. Each type penetrates the skin at different depths, offering a unique experience.
The heat generated by these saunas can penetrate deep into the tissues, providing a wealth of wellness benefits, from improved skin health to pain relief.
Infrared saunas come in various forms. Some focus solely on far infrared, as these wavelengths are the longest and can deeply penetrate tissue for a more robust range of benefits.
Others provide a comprehensive experience by combining all wavelengths into one heater, called a Full Spectrum heater. This ensures you can reap the rewards of all three wavelengths in a singular session.
Why Choose an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas are designed for ease of use, making them a convenient addition to any home.
Free from the high moisture levels found in traditional saunas, infrared saunas are easier to add to your home, releasing you from what previously might have been a more complicated installation.
Furthermore, they typically require less time to heat up than traditional saunas and offer user-friendly control panels that allow you to adjust the temperature and duration of your session easily.
Another advantage of infrared saunas is their energy efficiency. They operate at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, which can reduce energy consumption, saving you money month to month.
Choosing the Right Infrared Sauna for Your Home
Selecting an infrared sauna for your home is an exciting decision, but careful consideration is required to ensure you get the most suitable model. Whether you’re looking for a compact unit to fit into a small space or a larger sauna for family use, there are several key factors to consider. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
Size and Space Requirements
When choosing an infrared sauna, the available space in your home is the first thing to consider.
Infrared saunas come in various sizes, from compact models designed for one person to larger units accommodating multiple users.
After you’ve chosen where you’d ideally like to install your sauna, measure the area to ensure the sauna you choose will fit comfortably without crowding the space.
Additionally, consider the ceiling height and any additional space needed for ventilation and access.
- Compact Models: Ideal for smaller spaces like apartments or homes with limited room.
- Larger Units: Suitable for homes with more space and those who want to enjoy sauna sessions with family or friends.
- Corner Units: If you have a smaller space but want a shareable model, consider one with a corner design. These saunas maximize your usable space, making investing in a slightly larger model easier without overwhelming the room.
Heating Elements
The type of heating element used in an infrared sauna is a critical factor in determining its performance and your overall experience.
Infrared saunas typically use carbon or ceramic heating elements, each with distinct characteristics.
- Carbon Heating Elements: Known for their even heat distribution and lower surface temperatures. They are energy-efficient and provide a gentle, soothing heat.
- Ceramic Heating Elements: Offer higher heat output and are often more intense. They heat up quickly and can be more effective for deeper heat penetration.
Research the benefits of each type and consider what suits your preferences and needs. Some saunas even combine heating elements to offer the best of both worlds.
Control Features and Settings
Modern infrared saunas have advanced control features to enhance comfort and convenience. When selecting a sauna, look for models that offer a range of adjustable settings, allowing you to customize your sauna experience.
- Adjustable Temperature Settings: Essential for tailoring the heat to your comfort level.
- Timers: Enable you to set the duration of your session, ensuring you don’t overstay and can manage your time effectively.
- Lighting Options: Some saunas include Chromotherapy lighting, which can add a therapeutic element to your sessions.
- Sound Systems: Integrated sound systems can enhance your relaxation experience by allowing you to listen to music or guided meditations.
Consider the most important features to you and how they will enhance your sauna experience.
