Infrared Saunas, Designed for Gentle, Even Heat
An infrared sauna warms you directly rather than heating the air around you, so it runs at a gentler 45–60°C and is ready in minutes. The quality comes down to the emitters, how they are placed and how the cabin is built. Aqua Spazio designs and installs infrared and full-spectrum saunas for homes, gyms and wellness spaces across London and the UK, with the same engineering care we give to a traditional Finnish sauna.
Our infrared sauna installations
-
Bespoke infrared cabins: built to fit alcoves, bedrooms, basements and gyms, in timbers such as thermo-aspen, alder or hemlock.
-
Full-spectrum saunas: near, mid and far-infrared emitters combined in one cabin.
-
Combination saunas: a traditional heater with integrated infrared panels, so one room offers both styles of heat.
-
Infrared in a wellness suite: paired with a cold plunge, shower and rest area as part of a contrast circuit.
-
Commercial infrared rooms: durable cabins with timers and controls for gyms, studios and spas.
The details that make an infrared sauna work
-
Emitter type and placement: carbon or ceramic panels positioned to cover the back, sides and legs evenly, not just the shoulders.
-
Low-EMF equipment: emitters and wiring chosen from established manufacturers with published test data.
-
Insulated cabin: so the room holds its warmth and running costs stay low.
-
Ventilation: a fresh-air path that keeps the cabin comfortable through a full session.
-
Controls and lighting: simple timers, zone control and warm, low-glare lighting.
Infrared or traditional?
Infrared suits people who find high heat uncomfortable or want a quick session after work. Traditional saunas give higher heat and löyly, which most enthusiasts prefer. If you want both, a combination room gives you the choice. See our Finnish saunas page for more on traditional heat.
Frequently asked questions
What temperature does an infrared sauna run at?
Typically 45–60°C, compared with 80–100°C in a traditional Finnish sauna.
How long does it take to heat up?
Usually 10–20 minutes, depending on the cabin and the room it sits in.
What power supply does it need?
Most home infrared saunas run from a dedicated standard circuit. Larger or combination rooms may need more. We check your supply at design stage.
Can an infrared sauna go in a bedroom or flat?
Often, yes. Infrared cabins are compact and need no water or drain. Send us photos and dimensions and we will confirm what fits.
