Key Benefits
- Used dry clinically, but humidity is controllable
- The body is warmed comparatively evenly
- Heating air efficiently allows for good ventilation
- A milder sweat is produced than all-FIR, but still effective, eliciting more gradual responses
- A wide temperature range, clinically 110F-160F (otherwise about 130F-18F)
The A Model
The A model is a comfortable, personal Finnish sauna. A filler panel is used to create a raised footrest, as shown below. FIR options include an RB and extra heaters (XIR): underseat, at the feet, or near the knees. The A1 uses a 2.1kw, 120V heater (20-amp circuit). If that circuit is not available, a 15-amp heater is used. The A2 uses a 3kw, 240V heater (20-amp circuit). Adding FIR requires a 2nd circuit (15-amp, 120V). The one exception: one 20-amp, 120V circuit can handle the A1 with an RB and the small 15-amp stone heater.
M1
The M1 is 4’7” deep by 6’2” wide. The main, rear bench is 5’10” long. A lower 4’ 2” bench runs front-to-back along the right side wall, under the rear bench. This yields a temperature variance of about 15°F between levels, which is often ideal for couples bathing together, so they each have their own personal comfort zone.
M2
The M2 model is the same 4’7” deep as the M1, but it is 7’6” wide. It has an elevated “L” bench of 4’2” x a full 7’. A lower level, with a step and a seat, parallels the upper seating. This is a comfortable sauna room for 3 or 4, and it will accommodate a very tall bather who desires to recline in the sauna.
M3
The M3 model, our largest, is 5’9” deep by 7’6” wide. This family-sized sauna allows for a full twin set of high and low L-shaped benches, including two full 7’ long spans.
The Heaters
Our stone heaters are UL/CSA-approved, deluxe stainless steel models with a thermostat, timer, and over-heat protection. The hot stones emit FIR abundantly and allow for humidity control. The air is charged with refreshing negative ions when the stones are moistened.
RB’s are poplar, semi-mobile “Radiant Backrests” containing recessed far-infrared heaters. Each has built-in intensity control. They emit FIR energy mainly in the 4-14 micron range.
At corners, RB’s can be turned against a side wall. You can stretch out and retain the ideal FIR exposure upon the back, or sit in-between two RBs that are turned to face each other to create a “sandwiching” effect. By doing this, you can achieve more far-infrared exposure than is encountered in most other FIR saunas!
