August 20th, 2008

In buying an infrared sauna, you must consider three things. First, look if the unit is fully certified. If it is not certified, do not buy it. You will be putting your family safety at risk. These are the following certification mark that you should look for in buying an infrared sauna unit that applies both to foreign and domestic products; ETL, CE, TUV, EMC, C-TICK, ROHS, UL and ULC. Certification from any of this safety standard body will assure you that the infrared sauna unit that you will buy has been quality tested and that all materials are of quality standard. Buying infrared sauna unit without certification from any of the stated quality certification regulating agencies will certainly put you and your family’s safety at risk

After you have fully inspected the quality standard certification of a unit you are interested in, the next thing that you have to consider is the effectiveness of the infrared sauna unit that you will buy. There are now many infrared sauna models sold in the market using different materials as heater plates. The heating plates that are used are ceramic, carbon and aluminum. In a laboratory test, it was verified that ceramic has the most effective infrared waves radiating efficiency. Next was carbon which was followed closely by aluminum. You should take note that the materials used as heater plates in an infrared sauna is important since the amount of infrared heat waves that is radiated to your body inside an infrared sauna will be dependent on the material used as heater plates. Inasmuch as ceramic has the most efficient emitting qualities, most top of the line infrared saunas uses this materials as their heater plates. It would be better if you can buy an infrared sauna using ceramics as heater plates for efficient radiation. However, carbon will also suffice, since the efficiency difference is only minimal.

Your comfort inside the infrared saunas and like wise the wood used in the construction of the sauna and its design will now be your focus. If you have the money and you are looking for the best home sauna available, you can always go for a comfortable 4 person sauna with a corner design. Top of the line sauna uses solid Burmese hemlock boards. Burmese hemlock wood has the finest quality in texture and is non-allergenic. The inside of these high priced home saunas have extra spaces for legroom and the seats are contoured with lumbar rest. The inside and outside design are meticulously crafted so as to match or compliment the lavish and elegant interiors of affluent homes. Amenities like CD, AM/FM stereo with speakers and oxygen ionizer for fresh and clean air during therapy, are likewise included in the unit.

But on the other hand, if you are on a budget and you are looking for a low cost home sauna, you can always go for an outdoor sauna. Made in China outdoor saunas are relatively priced much lower, but are inferior in quality. You can also go for quality locally made outdoor saunas that are sold through installment payments
