Traditional and infrared saunas can both work well in a private wellness environment, but they create different experiences and often suit different spaces.
Traditional sauna
A traditional sauna heats the air to create the familiar high-heat sauna environment. It is the natural choice for customers who want the classic sauna experience and works particularly well in dedicated outdoor buildings and larger wellness areas.
Infrared sauna
Infrared saunas use infrared emitters rather than relying only on very hot room air. They are commonly chosen for indoor home-wellness rooms and for clients who prefer a different heat format.
What should drive the decision?
- Indoor or outdoor location
- Available footprint and ceiling height
- Number of regular users
- Electrical requirements
- Preferred heat experience
- Delivery and installation access
- How the sauna will sit alongside cold plunge or other recovery equipment
