Preparing Your Home Infrared Sauna Space

In today’s fast-paced world, prioritizing self-care is more important than ever. One of the most effective ways to relax and rejuvenate your body and mind is by incorporating an infrared sauna into your wellness routine. And, when it comes to cutting-edge technology and health benefits, High Tech Health’s Infrared Saunas stand out from the crowd. If you’re considering adding one of these innovative saunas into your home, here’s everything you need to know about preparing your home infrared sauna space for the ultimate sauna experience.

Infrared Saunas are Easy to Integrate Into Your Home

Infrared saunas are versatile, require no plumbing or external ventilation, and can be easily added to any room.

Choose the Right Location

There are many great location options for your home sauna. Ideally, it should be a quiet and private area where you can escape distractions, and also inviting and easily accessible for consistent use. Basements, bedrooms, spare rooms, bathrooms, even a walk-in closet can make excellent sauna spaces. Ensure there’s adequate space for both the sauna unit itself and a bit of room for assembly.

If you are struggling to find an indoor location, you may consider an insulated garage or shed. However, there are important factors to consider. If the ambient temperature is cold, it will take longer to get to a desired temperature. If your chosen sauna location consistently drops below 60°F, please reach out to discuss the specifics with your Product Specialist. Additionally, it’s crucial to take measures to prevent rodents or insects from accessing your sauna.

Identify Electrical Requirements

Before setting up your infrared sauna, it’s essential to ensure you have the proper electrical setup. These saunas typically require a standard 120-volt electrical outlet, making them easy to install in most home environments.

High Tech Health’s 1 and 2 person saunas conveniently plug into a standard 15 amp outlet, offering ease of use. It’s worth noting that some 2 person infrared saunas from other brands may require 20 amp circuits.

Consider planning for a dedicated circuit to ensure optimal performance. However, it’s always wise to consult with a qualified electrician to confirm your electrical system can support the sauna’s power needs.

Confirm Dimensions and Space Requirements

High Tech Health offers a range of sauna sizes to suit different needs and spaces. From cozy one-person saunas to spacious models designed for multiple users, there’s an option for every home. When planning your sauna space, consider both the dimensions of the sauna itself and the surrounding area for seating and relaxation. Ensure there’s ample space for comfortable movement. Because High Tech Health saunas feature Active Ventilation, we recommend planning for 6 inches clearance above the sauna to allow proper airflow. See for for more information about ventilation.

Indoor Placement for Optimal Performance

High Tech Health Infrared Saunas are specifically designed for indoor use to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These saunas are not weather-proofed, as careful material selection avoids chemical out-gassing and enhances durability. Placing the sauna indoors protects it from the elements, ensuring consistent heat-up times and performance, and prolongs its lifespan.

Surface Compatibility

One of the standout features of Infrared Saunas is their versatility in placement. These saunas can be placed on any surface, including carpet, making them incredibly adaptable to different home environments. Whether you’re setting up your sauna in a spare room, gym, or basement, rest assured that it can be installed with ease. Additionally, High Tech Health saunas can also be positioned near walls without concern for heat loss through them.

Create a Relaxing Atmosphere

Enhance the ambiance of your home sauna space by incorporating elements that promote relaxation and tranquility. Consider adding soft lighting, calming music, or aromatic essential oils to create a sensory experience that soothes the mind and body. Comfortable seating, plush towels, and a refreshing drink station can also elevate the overall atmosphere and make your sauna sessions even more enjoyable. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for assembly and operation to ensure optimal performance and safety. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the interior surfaces and checking for any signs of wear or damage, will help prolong the life of your sauna and ensure continued enjoyment for years to come.
