How do you know you’re purchasing the right sauna for your home from the right company – here’s a few of the common questions that can help you decide.
Do you want a DIY Sauna kit?
You can build a customized sauna or select from pre-customized sauna kits that provide everything you need to successfully install it. If you’re not a ‘handy’ person, it may be easier choosing an easy-to-assemble kit instead of building your own.
What sauna size do you need?
Some infrared saunas are only large enough to accommodate one person. Decide on a size depending on how many people you want inside at once and where you intend to install it.
Where are you installing your sauna?
A sauna can be placed almost anywhere, from the bathroom to the guest bedroom. Measure the dimensions for the space and ensure there’s adequate electrical support nearby. Ease of access and the view from the inside are important to keep in mind.
What kind of sauna wood do you want?
Infrared saunas can be made from a wide variety of different woods, including premium spruce or cedar, less expensive plywood, and more. Cedar’s preferred by many installers for its high level of resistance to splitting and shrinking.
Will you use a carbon or ceramic heater?
Ceramic heaters get extremely hot, have a longer warm up time, are challenging to manage, and produce short infrared wavelength. Comparatively, carbon heaters are thin, light, safe, last longer, and are more expensive.
Is your sauna safe?
Safety is always a consideration when choosing a sauna, for users or property both. When purchasing saunas, you always want to consider when you’re putting your heater/generator as to guard against electromagnetic field exposure.
Is your sauna quality?
No one wants a cheap sauna. Ensure it’s properly built with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. No glues prone to outgassing should be used, ensure it comes with a timer to measure duration times, wood construction should maintain a beautiful look while being maintained to minimize warping and cracking.
Does it come with a warranty?
Know what your warranty covers. Ideally, you want to have an infrared sauna warranty to cover the heating system, your power supply, control panel, any wood, and any glass. Always touch base with the manufacturer to confirm if you are unsure.
Are you getting the customizations you want?
The last question to ask yourself, when choosing a sauna for your home, is whether it’ll be everything you want it to be – hopefully the answer’s yes. Most people want to customize their saunas with accessories like light therapy, aromatherapy, an audio system, and entertainment options. An infrared sauna is yours to customize and should be personalized according to taste. Whenever shopping for an infrared sauna, ensure the company you’re buying from is offering customizations you want.
