What Comes Standard With Our Infrared Saunas

Every infrared sauna we build is designed around your wellness goals, available space, and aesthetic preferences. We use premium sauna woods such as cedar and hemlock, ergonomic bench seating, and advanced low-EMF infrared panels engineered for safe, consistent heat. Optional enhancements like LED chromotherapy lighting can further elevate the experience.

Each system is professionally installed with proper electrical planning, airflow considerations, and performance testing. Whether you’re creating a recovery space inside a home gym, a quiet relaxation corner, or upgrading a private wellness room, we manage the entire process from design to installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can an infrared sauna be installed in a Scottsdale home?

Infrared saunas are extremely flexible and can be installed in many areas of the home. Common locations include spare bedrooms, wellness rooms, home gyms, and primary bathrooms. Condos and townhomes often utilize closets, alcoves, or compact rooms, while larger homes may dedicate space within a fitness or recovery area.

Because infrared saunas don’t require plumbing and have minimal ventilation needs, they’re well-suited for properties with limited space. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your layout and recommend the best placement.

Why choose an infrared sauna instead of a traditional sauna?

Infrared saunas are popular in Scottsdale because they provide effective heat therapy without extreme temperatures. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air to higher ranges, infrared systems warm the body directly, allowing for comfortable use at lower temperatures.

They also tend to consume less energy, require less ventilation, and fit more easily into smaller spaces. While traditional saunas remain a great option for those who enjoy intense heat, infrared saunas are ideal for frequent use, energy efficiency, and everyday comfort.

How does an infrared sauna work?

Infrared saunas use light waves to heat the body directly rather than warming the surrounding air. This allows the room temperature to remain lower—typically between 100°F and 130°F—while still encouraging deep sweating, improved circulation, and muscle relaxation.

Many people find this approach more comfortable and less intense than traditional saunas, allowing for longer, more relaxing sessions. Infrared technology is especially appealing for Scottsdale homeowners seeking consistent wellness benefits without excessive heat.

Is daily use of an infrared sauna safe?

For most healthy adults, regular infrared sauna use is considered safe. Many clients incorporate sessions several times per week, and some enjoy daily use. Typical sessions range from 20–40 minutes and may support relaxation, stress reduction, improved sleep, and post-workout recovery.

Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures than traditional models, placing less strain on the body. We use low-EMF panels to minimize electromagnetic exposure. If you are pregnant or managing medical conditions, it’s always recommended to consult your healthcare provider before beginning regular sauna use.

Can I customize my infrared sauna with upgrades?

Yes. Infrared saunas are highly customizable, allowing you to personalize both functionality and appearance. Popular upgrades include chromotherapy lighting for mood support, Bluetooth audio systems for music or guided sessions, Himalayan salt features for ambiance, upgraded seating for added comfort, and digital controls for easy temperature adjustment.

Many Scottsdale homeowners also select modern finishes that match contemporary interiors, including glass-panel doors or clean-lined wood designs. These enhancements help create a sauna that reflects both your wellness goals and personal style.
