Wet Sauna or Infrared Sauna - What's the Difference?

Here at Heat and Plumb - we can supply you with 2 types of sauna. A wet sauna or an infrared sauna (also known as a dry sauna). These 2 types of sauna are actually very similar.

The Similarity between both types of saunas is that they use a heater with rocks. The difference is that in a wet sauna, water is poured over the hot rocks to produce steam. In an Infrared sauna, no water is added and no steam is generated.

Another difference between a wet sauna and an infrared sauna is the difference in temperature necessary to produce a beneficial effect. In a wet sauna, the temperature is lower because humid air is better at transmitting heat, so a lower temperature is needed in a wet sauna. Infrared saunas temperatures can approach 200 degrees Fahrenheit; because the heat is so dry, however, the bather's sweat evaporates quickly.

Saunas have many wellbeing health benefits. These include the following..
  • Burns Calories and controls weight
  • Relieves Pain
  • Improves the Immune System
  • Increases Blood Circulation and Strengthens the Cardiovascular System
  • Removes Toxins and Mineral Wastes
  • Clears Cellulite
  • Eases Joint Pain and Stiffness
  • Reduces Stress and Fatigue
  • Improves Skin
