The standard sauna room is covered with heat-resistant wooden panels and features a wooden bench.
The temperature in the sauna room typically ranges from 70°C to 100°C and is characterized by relatively low humidity levels.
Standard saunas can be used as personal saunas in homes and are also suitable for commercial establishments such as fitness centers, spas, and public baths.
İnferead Sauna
İnferead Sauna is a type of sauna that operates at lower temperatures compared to traditional sauna methods and is heated using specially designed infrared rays that are targeted towards the human body. These rays penetrate beneath the surface of the skin and heat the deeper tissues of the body.
Due to its lower operating temperature, it provides a less intense heat experience compared to traditional saunas. The heating temperatures range from 45°C to 65°C. However, thanks to the infrared rays heating the tissues beneath the skin, users can experience sweating at lower temperatures while achieving a deeper heat effect.
Bio Sauna
The Bio sauna operates similar to a traditional sauna but uses a different heating method. It is characterized by low humidity levels and lower temperature levels.
Typically, it is heated using natural stones, ceramic plates, or metal plates. These heating methods are combined with the addition of humidity to the sauna room through a steam generator. This allows for low humidity levels and lower temperature levels to be achieved.
The Bio sauna generally operates at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 70°C.
Ready-made Cabin Saunas
Ready-made cabin saunas are a convenient and pre-assembled option for sauna enthusiasts. These saunas come in a package that includes the sauna room, sauna heater, wooden benches, doors, and other necessary components.
Similar to traditional sauna methods, the sauna room is constructed with wooden panels and heated using a sauna heater equipped with stones. The heating unit is typically electric or gas-powered.
To create a steamy environment and increase humidity levels, water is poured onto the heater. Ready-made cabin saunas provide an easy and hassle-free way to enjoy the benefits of sauna therapy.
