Home sauna two options traditional and infrared sauna?

When it comes to saunas, there are two popular options to choose from: traditional saunas and infrared saunas.


At Sauna and Steam NZ, we offer both types and are here to help you understand the differences between them. Traditional saunas use heated rocks or stoves to produce heat, which in turn warms the air inside the sauna.


This creates a high-temperature environment, typically ranging from 70°C to 100°C (160°F to 212°F).


The heat in a traditional sauna is dry and allows for a traditional sauna experience, where you can enjoy the relaxing warmth and a traditional steam if desired by pouring water on the hot rocks.

    In contrast, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to directly heat your body without significantly heating the surrounding air. 


    These heaters emit infrared light, which penetrates the body's tissues, producing a deep, soothing heat. Infrared saunas operate at a lower temperature range of 45°C to 60°C (115°F to 140°F), making them more comfortable for individuals who prefer a milder heat experience.


    Both traditional and infrared saunas offer various health benefits. Traditional saunas are known for promoting relaxation, relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and providing a traditional sauna experience. 


    On the other hand, infrared saunas are praised for their ability to penetrate deeper into the body, promoting detoxification, pain relief, improved cardiovascular health, and even potential weight loss.


    Ultimately, the choice between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna depends on your personal preferences and health goals. 


    Sauna and Steam NZ offers custom-built saunas in both styles, allowing you to choose the sauna type that best suits your needs and provides you with the desired health benefits.
