The Evolution of Infrared Sauna Technology

Traditional saunas rely on heated stones and steam to create a high-temperature environment, often reaching between 80-105°C. However, infrared saunas work differently—they heat the body directly through infrared light waves, raising core temperature without overheating the air. This method allows for deeper penetration, helping to relieve discomfort, relax the body and encourage the body to sweat at lower room temperatures.

Advancements in sauna design mean users can now enjoy high-tech features such as chromotherapy lighting, integrated audio systems, and even introduce red light while in the sauna, making the experience more customisable than ever. From one-person saunas to luxurious four-person infrared cabins, there’s a home sauna to suit every space and lifestyle.
