How infrared heaters improve the sauna experience
Warmth is more than a feeling. It's a stimulus – deep within. Infrared heaters allow you to experience just that: gentle, direct warmth that affects the person, not the air. They complement the classic sauna climate with a new dimension of deep relaxation – tranquil, powerful, and soothing.
Direct warmth. Tangible depth.
Unlike conventional heating methods, infrared heaters don't primarily heat the room air, but rather the body itself – evenly, deeply, and without overheating. The effect is immediately noticeable: muscles relax, joints relax, and circulation is gently stimulated.
People with sensitive skin, respiratory diseases or tension in particular benefit from this precise heat – without the classic heat stress of a conventional sauna.
The power of radiation – what really works
Infrared radiation is divided into three ranges: IR-A, IR-B, and IR-C . The decisive factor is the depth of penetration into the skin:
-
IR-A (shortwave) – penetrates deepest (down to the subcutaneous tissue), promotes circulation, relaxation, and pain relief. Ideal for therapeutic applications.
-
IR-B – medium-deep, pleasantly warm, good combination for general well-being.
-
IR-C (long wave) – acts on the surface of the skin, creates a mild feeling of warmth, especially in conventional infrared cabins.
A high proportion of IR-A radiation can be used specifically for muscle regeneration, rheumatic complaints or tension – and is also particularly energy-saving .

Radiation type: Depending on the desired effect (regeneration, muscle relaxation, wellness)
-
Heating element: Ceramic (intensive), quartz (direct), carbon (gentle and flat)
-
Performance & room size: Suitable wattage for the cabin dimensions
-
Control: Thermostat or touch control for convenient control
-
Design & Integration: Visible vs. integrated solutions, depending on the room aesthetics
Conclusion – warmth that arrives
Infrared heaters are more than just technology – they're a gift to the body. Whether as an extension of a classic sauna or as a standalone heating system, they make warmth tangible where it's needed. Direct. Gentle. Truly soothing.
