INFRARED SAUNA HEATERS EXPLAINED

1. How They Work:

Material: Carbon heaters are made from thin, flat carbon panels or sheets.

Operation: These heaters emit long-wave infrared radiation (FIR), which is absorbed deeply into the skin, promoting a gentle and even heating experience.

Efficiency: Carbon heaters are known for their energy efficiency and even heat distribution.

2. Benefits:

Uniform Heat Distribution: The large surface area of carbon panels allows for a more consistent and even heat, reducing the risk of hot spots.

Energy Efficiency: They operate at lower temperatures compared to other infrared heaters, making them energy-efficient while still providing effective heat.

Penetration Depth: The far-infrared waves penetrate the body more deeply, which can be beneficial for detoxification, relaxation, and muscle recovery.

Durability: Carbon heaters tend to have a longer lifespan due to their robust construction.

3. General lifespan - 20,000 - 50,000 hours

1. How They Work:

Material: Crystal quartz heaters use quartz tubes or rods to produce infrared light.

Operation: These heaters emit a full spectrum of infrared light, including near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths.

Efficiency: They are designed to provide a comprehensive heating experience, with each spectrum offering different health benefits.

2. Benefits:

Full-Spectrum Coverage: The inclusion of NIR, MIR, and FIR wavelengths ensures that users receive a broad range of benefits.

NIR: Near-infrared wavelengths penetrate the skin's surface, promoting skin rejuvenation and surface healing.

MIR: Mid-infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper, enhancing circulation and providing pain relief.

FIR: Far-infrared wavelengths penetrate the deepest, aiding in detoxification and promoting relaxation.

Intense Heat: Crystal quartz heaters can produce more intense heat compared to carbon heaters, making them suitable for those who prefer a hotter sauna experience.

Rapid Heating: These heaters typically heat up faster than carbon heaters, providing a quicker start to your sauna session.

3. General Lifespan - 20,000 hours

We get a lot of questions about why we do not use ceramic heaters. Ceramic heaters are older technology, and below is a summary as to why this is the case.

History and Technology:

Older Technology: Ceramic heaters have been used in infrared saunas for many years and are one of the original types of infrared heating elements.

Material: Made from ceramic elements, these heaters emit far-infrared waves by heating up the ceramic material.

Heat Characteristics: They produce intense, localized heat and are effective at deep tissue penetration.

Advantages:

Intense Heating: Good for deep tissue heating and therapeutic benefits.

Quick Heating: Ceramic elements heat up relatively quickly.

Disadvantages:

Uneven Heat Distribution: Can create hot spots, leading to less uniform heat distribution.

Shorter Lifespan: Typically have a shorter operational lifespan compared to carbon heaters.

General lifespan: 10,000 - 15,000 hours
