Indoor Sauna Types We Build
Traditional Finnish Dry Sauna
The classic sauna experience. Temperatures reach 160–200°F with low humidity. Stones on the heater can be splashed with water (löyly) to create bursts of steam. Perfect for deep muscle relaxation, improved circulation, and detoxification.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared panels heat your body directly rather than the air around you. Operates at lower temperatures (120–150°F), making it ideal for those who prefer a gentler experience while still achieving deep tissue benefits. Lower operating costs than traditional saunas.
Steam Combination Room
Combines a traditional sauna heater with a steam generator for the ultimate versatility — enjoy a dry sauna one day, a steam room the next. Popular in luxury home spa installations in Palm Harbor.
