Ever since sauna infrared technology was developed, we have never truly experienced saunas in the same way. Although there are still the traditional steamed sauna models available for sale, many business and homeowners have opted for the more cutting edge models that come equipped with special infrared heaters. Why the change? Mainly with the growing demand for luxury goods, saunas were being built in record numbers to satisfy new lifestyles. People wanted portable saunas to bring into their homes to either experience in a solitary session or with friends in a social get-together.
Steam saunas proved to be more of an unwieldy and less versatile option for the home. In addition, they're expensive to operate. The average electrical cost is 5 cents per kW and can run a pretty penny in the long-run. Especially since generating heat through a steam generator is less efficient, you end up spending countless of dollars because of its wastefulness. As a reaction to this, sauna infrared technology was engineered to create a better alternative. Rather than heating the air like a steam sauna does, saunas that operate on infrared rays directly heat your body.
The fact that infrared saunas only need to get up to between 120 degrees to 150 degrees Farenheit
Sauna infrared technology to be effective makes it that much more safe for the user. Rather than feeling claustrophobic with the steam from traditional saunas, people who use infrared saunas will find that the warmth generated has a much dryer and gentler sensation. Even for those sauna purists who believe that the extreme blasts of heatfrom steam is the only way, they will discover just how great sauna infrared technology is. The best part is that they don't have to sacrifice any of the wonderful health benefits that they would normally achieve with the steam sauna.
