Benefits of a Sauna
There are numerous, well documented and respected sauna medical studies that suggest tremendous health benefits can be achieved from regularly enjoying a relaxing sauna to rejuvenate and revitalise the body to help:
- Reduce stress
- Soothe and relax tired muscles
- Improve circulation and increase your metabolism
- Enjoy the health benefits of exercise while requiring much less exertion by burning calories and perspiration (equivalent to moderate exercise)
- Destroy bacteria and viruses
- Detox and eliminate toxic chemicals, heavy metals, radiation and other toxins from the body
- Remove the accumulation of potentially harmful toxins such as carcinogenic heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, sodium and cholesterol
Traditional Home Saunas
Traditional steam saunas use steam to increase the heat and humidity. The steam is generated by pouring water onto sauna stones. This way you are in control of the conditions in the sauna. The temperature can heat to around 70 to 100 degrees from the steam generated from the cold water and the red hot stones. This environment is what delivers the benefits that come with sauna use, such as weight loss, lower blood pressure and improved mental health. Our full range of different models means that no matter your budget or the space you have to fit one, we’ll have a sauna for you.

Infra-Red Saunas
Infrared heat has some distinct advantages over traditional steam heat saunas. Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion.
Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people can experience some difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas differ by instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly.
The result is a lower energy consumption and deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna.
Benefits
There are numerous, well documented and respected medical studies that suggest tremendous health benefits can be achieved from regularly enjoying a relaxing steam shower to rejuvenate and revitalise the body to help:
- An Infrared Sauna will heat up in a shorter time period than a steam sauna because it can heat the skin directly and does not need to heat the air
- This type of energy travels 2-3″ deep into the body and is thought by some to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue
- More suitable for people who suffer breathing difficulties in extreme heat
- FIR saunas are safe for all ages
