Infrared saunas

An infrared cabin is an indoor room whose panels warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you.

The detail

What it is, and what it needs.

How it works
Infrared panels emit light that is absorbed through the skin and heats the body directly, rather than heating the air in the room.
Heat
An infrared room reaches roughly 130 degrees Fahrenheit and above, against roughly 170 for a traditional room in about an hour.
Wood
Clearlight builds in western red cedar with a mahogany exterior, or in basswood. Basswood is the hypoallergenic option, nearly odorless and even grained.
Where it can go
Indoors. Infrared is designed for indoor use and is generally not recommended for permanent outdoor installation, so an outdoor placement is a conversation with a specialist rather than an assumption.
Heating technology
Clearlight's True Wave carbon and ceramic heaters, built for the lowest EMF and ELF in the category.
Install
The room has to get through the doorway it is destined for, sit level, and have its electrical coordinated properly. We read the space, coordinate delivery, handle the electrical coordination, and assemble the room.

What an infrared room asks of the space.

Infrared is where we point members with a smaller space or a preference for lower ambient heat. It is a gentler room with a smaller footprint than a traditional build, and for members who find traditional heat harsh, that difference is the whole decision. Most know which they prefer within one session.

Clearlight is our primary recommendation here. The manufacturer sells direct and owns their own search results, so we will not pretend our job is to introduce you to the brand. Our job is the part that happens at your address: reading the space, coordinating delivery, assembling the room properly, and being reachable afterward. Nothing gets ordered before the space has been read.

Everything here is sourced, delivered, and installed by us. Site preparation, electrical coordination through licensed electricians, delivery and skilled assembly, climate-appropriate protection, and long-term support are part of the project rather than options bolted onto it.

What you are covered for

The guarantee on this format.

Clearlight carries its own residential warranty, whose current terms your specialist confirms rather than a page. Rooms sourced and installed through us also carry our one year craftsmanship guarantee, a six month service guarantee, and a courtesy orientation session.

Questions

Asked often enough to answer here.

Anything site specific is settled on the call, where a specialist can see what you are working with. The questions every format shares, where we work and why no pricing is published, are answered once on the FAQ page.

  • “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

  • “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
