Infrared Sauna Kit

The traditional Saunas available in the market use steam to provide heat. The Infrared Sauna is the latest technological innovation to the 'Sauna world' and it provides heat with the help of infrared rays. The infrared rays are highly penetrative in nature and achieve a very good heating effect. The iron box which we use at our homes to iron out our clothes works on the principle of infrared heating.

What does an infrared sauna kit contain?

• Infrared heat emitters - You would require a heat emitter which is at the core of every Sauna kit. These would be the equipments primarily responsible for emission of infrared rays. Most Sauna kits use 100% ceramic emitters. The special property of these emitters is that they emit about 8-10 microns and these are responsible for generating 90% of the total heat output.

• Digital Controls - Sauna activity can be effective if the temperature of the heat is controlled efficiently. Remember, these infrared rays can be highly dangerous to a human body at very high temperatures and may cause fatalities as well. Dual Digital controls are available in the market for a price of approximately $450.

• Sauna Doors - A Sauna session will be highly ineffective if it is held open doors. This means that Sauna should be held in a closed room. Talking about closed room, the room covering must not be made of any ad-hoc material. Remember, if infrared rays are emitted by the infrared emitter, all of them should not be floating around in the sauna room especially when you consider that the human body can take only a certain amount of infrared rays. The Sauna doors which could possibly made of fir wood will absorb the infrared rays thus ensuring that the person who attends the Sauna session is completely healthy.

• Thermostats - As per physics, these are known temperature controllers. As we have already discussed that temperature control is extremely essential for a good Sauna Session, Thermostats play a very critical aspect in Sauna. These are driven by voltages so along with a Thermostat, the user may consider purchasing a UPS (a back up for power failures) and a voltmeter which will indicate the level of voltage.

Some important things to be considered before an Infrared Sauna kit is bought.

• As soon as you buy the kit, ensure to test the kit for the proper working of the electrical components. There are many companies who sell infrared sauna kits to users and there are many unscrupulous ones in the list as well. You must do well to ensure that you do not fall into the trap of the unscrupulous salesman.

• Do not intend to have children use the infrared sauna kit. This is very important to note because children may not know how to handle these sophisticated equipments which may endanger their lives as well.

• You could install the Infrared Sauna kit yourself by following the instructions manual which invariably accompanies the Sauna kit. If you are not confident in doing so, I would suggest that you hire the services of a specialized personnel who will do this job for you. It will always be better than you making a hash of it by installing the kit yourself.
