Question
Answers
Question: What kinds of wood are used in your infrared saunas?
Answer: We feature several brands.  Most use hemlock, but have brands that offer Western Red Cedar and Poplar.
Question: What are the advantages of infrared?
Answer: It will produce the same amount of sweat as a traditional sauna but it is quicker and does it at lower temperatures. Due to the penetrating heat of infrared saunas it can be very soothing on muscles.
Question: How long does it take to assemble an infrared sauna?
Answer: It usually takes about a ½ hour to 45 minutes.
Question: What is the micron range for carbon fiber emitters?
Answer: Hotter is not necessarily better in far infrared saunas like it is in traditional rock saunas. Carbon fiber emitters deliver a consistent and optimum 9 micron wavelength at around 120 degrees.
Question: Why is Western Red Cedar more expensive?
Answer: Western Hemlock was chosen as the standard due to the fact that it is hypo-allergenic. Western Red Cedar is offered for those who want it but it is manufactured on a special run which drives up the cost.
Question: Can I lay down in my infrared sauna room?
Answer: You can lie down in some sizes but it is not recommended. Your body absorbs the infrared rays so if you lie down down you are keeping half your body from being exposed to the rays.
Answer: No, there has to be some sort of filament within the emitter in order to heat it up an create far infrared waves. Some companies like to say that their emitter is "pure ceramic" and what is meant is the "ceramic" part is "pure ceramic".
