A sauna is a room or small building designed for heat sessions, typically using a heater or infrared technology to produce dry or steamy heat. Saunas are used for relaxation, detoxification, and various health benefits.
Traditional Saunas: High heat and low humidity; steam created by pouring water on hot stones.
Infrared Saunas: Radiant heat directly absorbed by the body at lower temperatures.
Dual-Heat Saunas: Combination of traditional and infrared heating.
Outdoor Saunas: Weatherproof saunas designed for outdoor use.
Custom-Built Saunas: Designed to fit your unique space and preferences.
Sessions typically last 10-20 minutes. Beginners should start with shorter durations and gradually increase as they acclimate to the heat.
