Traditional Saunas
About our Traditional Saunas
Traditional Saunas use heaters and hot stones to heat the sauna room and get hotter (~180F) than Far Infrared (FIR) Saunas (~140F).
Heat Emission
Sauna rocks absorb and release heat, a crucial aspect of traditional saunas. They soak up the energy from the sauna’s heater and steadily radiate it, maintaining a consistent temperature.
Steam Generation
When water is poured on the rocks in a hot sauna, it vaporizes, and creates the humid, steamy atmosphere that is a signature of traditional heat saunas.
Radiant Heat
Sauna rocks emit radiant heat, a key feature in creating the enveloping warmth of a heat sauna. This type of heat transfer is efficient and adds depth to the sauna experience
Circulatory Health
The heat of a traditional sauna, and especially the radiant heat from the sauna rocks encourages blood vessel dilation and improves circulation.
