In infrared saunas the temperature never exceeds 60 degrees Celsius and is adjustable, pleasant, beneficial and bearable by anyone.

In a conventional sauna, also known as Finnish type sauna, the temperature reaches 110 degrees celcius and not everyone can tolerate this kind of temperature.

Infrared sauna is ideal for those, who do not have much time.

With deep enough to heat 15 minutes in the infrared sauna to warm up well and to recover energy. The heat bath may however be extended up to 60 minutes.

The action of the Finnish sauna is manifested after several cycles of stay (recommended 3 cycles are spent from 8 to max. 15 minutes each) with rest breaks intermediate and cold showers. This type of procedure can be tiring for some.

In the infrared sauna, the heat radiates directly to the body with about 80% of its energy, while only the remaining 20% heats the air. Infrared rays can reach as deep as 40 mm to skin and warm the body from within and not outside.

The stove heats the air with 100% of the Finnish sauna, which in turn heats the person through the entire surface of the body. In practice we will be immersed in a large “kettle”, with intense steam and heat is not unbearable for everyone, although recognized its benefits, certainly now far outweighed by the infrared sauna.

A dip in the infrared sauna is like a sun bath, but without the harmful UV rays The soft glow of infrared light, thanks to the deep, penetrating muscle tissue, unlocks the tensions, helps with torn muscles, stretching and inflammation. The heat of depth causes a much more intense sweating and thereby increased purifying. After swimming infrared you feel better overall, more vigorous and relaxed. The infrared sauna fluids released by sweating always consist of 80% water and the remaining 20% from fat-toxins.

The Finnish sauna bath is like flashing: This means, practically, that the body is exposed to alternating heat and cooling. Both stimuli are, for this type of sauna, of equal importance for the positive action of the bath. This combination of thermal shock trains the blood vessels and promotes inter alia, the skin cleansing by expelling, though only partially, the waste and toxins. The therapeutic effects of nature, however, are rather bland. In the Finnish sauna, in fact, there is evidence that the fluids released from the compound are still sweating by 97% water and only the remaining 3% from fat toxins. Thus, the therapeutic properties of expulsion of waste and toxins from the body are, in fact, almost nothing.

The overall dimensions of the infrared sauna from 90 cm, so they are easily positioned in any location. No need for air vents to the outside, plant hydraulic loading and unloading, bricklaying or carpentry. Assembly is simple and fast.

The cabins of the Finnish sauna (always built for a minimum of 2 persons) have far greater size and weight, so are not so easily positioned and moved. The place of installation must have a window and an air intake to the cabin. The assembly is complex and time-consuming.

For the infrared sauna Infra just a normal outlet 220-240 V. For home or professional medium are sufficient for connection to the normal 3 kW meter.
Finnish sauna for 2 people or more requires a more powerful connection, at least 4.5 kW, non-standard household but obtained from electric charge of the management company.

The power consumption of an infrared sauna are relatively low, as the installed power of a medium-size infrared cabin is below 2.0 kW which corresponds to a consumption of approx. 1.6 kwh per session 30 minutes (= approx. € 0.25).

Power consumption of a Finnish sauna is remarkable. The cabin of medium size requires at least 4.5 kW, and considering the heating time is consumed 6 / 7 times more than the infrared sauna. Today, these consumers do not allow any energy saving and environmentally damaging.
The infrared sauna Infra preheating, recommended to start the session optimally from about 25-30 degrees, is only 15-20 minutes, in relation to environmental conditions.

In finnish saunas, the times for heating up the stove is much higher (on average ranging from 45 to 120 minutes) and, therefore, operating costs are relatively higher.
