Infrared Indoor Saunas for Small Spaces
Most modern indoor saunas use either electric heaters
or ceramic infrared elements to heat the sauna room. A conventional electric
heater raises the air inside the chamber to a temperature of up to 190ºF
which in turn heats the body and makes you sweat. A personal home sauna
using infra-red technology heats the body directly, resulting in deeper
tissue penetration.
A personal infrared home sauna provides all
the benefits of a conventional in-home
steam sauna minus the potentially harmful effects of breathing in the
extremely hot air generated by convection-type
sauna room heaters. Another great
advantage of infra-red vs. conventional heaters is in energy savings and the
reduced space requirements when installed indoors.
Home saunas such as the personal infrared sauna from SeaMax require only a
4’ x 4’ floor space and plug into a standard 110V outlet. They are easy to
install indoors, requiring no special tools or skills to set up. According
to the manufacturer, a typical 30 minute sweating session costs as little as
10 cents in electricity. Compare this energy usage to a conventional 4.5 kW
electric heater required for a similar sized sauna room.
A far infrared portable home sauna that
is as efficient to operate as a small appliance is the ultimate in a
space-saving design for anyone who doesn’t have the space to build a
full-sized indoor family sauna.
These personal saunas look like a tanning bed. The user lies down inside and
uses the digital controls to set the temperature and length of time.
Indoor home saunas using infra-red heat are safe to use. The technology has
only recently been employed in personal saunas, but the technology itself
has been around for decades. Physical therapists use infrared heat to
relieve pain and sore muscles. Hospitals use it in maternity wards to keep
newborns warm. It’s like enjoying the benefits of sunlight indoors, minus
the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
