What type of heaters do Hekla Infrared Saunas use?
Hekla Infrared Saunas use a combination of halogen heaters and carbon heaters. This hybrid heater setup is designed to provide efficient warmth, with halogen heaters delivering targeted heat and carbon heaters helping distribute infrared heat more evenly throughout the sauna.
Do Hekla Infrared Saunas heat up quickly?
Yes. Hekla describes its infrared saunas as quick and efficient to heat once installed, and the internal controls allow users to adjust the temperature from inside the sauna.
What temperature range do Hekla Infrared Saunas operate in?
Retailer specifications commonly list Hekla infrared models with a temperature range of about 35°C to 60°C, which is roughly 95°F to 140°F. This makes them different from many traditional saunas, which often operate at higher ambient temperatures.
Are Hekla Infrared Saunas good for smaller spaces?
Yes. The Hekla Infrared 100 is especially well suited for smaller spaces because it is a 1-person model with a compact footprint. It measures 100 cm wide by 120 cm deep by 200 cm high, making it a practical option for a personal wellness area, home gym, or relaxation room.
What comfort features are included?
Hekla Infrared Saunas include terrace bench seating, ergonomic backrests, chromotherapy LED lighting, internal control panels, grey safety glass, built-in speakers, USB connectivity, and Bluetooth audio. These features help create a relaxing, customizable sauna environment at home.
Do Hekla Infrared Saunas include Bluetooth?
Yes. Hekla Infrared Saunas include USB and Bluetooth options, along with two internal speakers, so users can listen to music, podcasts, meditation tracks, or other audio during their sauna session.
What is chromotherapy lighting?
Chromotherapy lighting refers to colored LED lighting that allows users to set the mood inside the sauna. In a Hekla Infrared Sauna, chromotherapy lights can help create a more relaxing, spa-like atmosphere during each session.
Sauna Safety Tips
Saunas can be a relaxing and beneficial part of a wellness routine, but it is important to use them safely. Start with shorter sessions, especially if you are new to sauna use, and limit most sessions to about 15–20 minutes. Drink plenty of water before and after using the sauna, and avoid alcohol before, during, or immediately after your session, since heat and sweating can increase the risk of dehydration or dizziness. Always cool down gradually after exiting the sauna, and leave right away if you feel lightheaded, nauseous, weak, or uncomfortable. People who are pregnant, have heart conditions, low or high blood pressure, or other medical concerns should speak with a healthcare provider before using a sauna.
