Consumers have many selections when choosing the best far infrared sauna company.

The popularity of far infrared sauna systems has been immensely popular in European countries where many households consider them to be part of everyday living and lifestyle. Trying to select the best infrared sauna model and heating element, is not the only thing to consider when you consider your choices for finding the best infrared sauna and deciding to make a purchase.

So what makes the best far infrared sauna?

Consider many things when making your purchase such as the company, the warranty, and the materials your infrared sauna are made out of.

The Heater is the most critical part of your infrared sauna element and should be considered carefully. The health benefits of far infrared heat waves vs. long wave infrared or even lower medium and short waves is clearly much higher in the forms of health and benefits regarding the spectrum of far infrared. The heating surfaces of your infrared sauna should be FIR (far infrared radiation) as the surface heat of an infrared sauna's heaters should be at the higher levels of the far infrared spectrum's. This infrared heat wave is the same warmth you would experience while sunbathing, without the harmful and damaging effects of the Sun's UV rays. You can discuss FIR heaters and understand more on this in depth with just about any dealer of infrared saunas to get the most understanding on how to select the best infrared sauna for you.

The best infrared saunas also have more heaters and this is where size does matter! Cargon technology heaters are dramatically larger surface area then ceramic heaters, thus covering a larger area of your body that is benefiting from the heat waves and deeply penetrating tissue to one and one half inches. You must also consider the fact that every infrared sauna must pass an electrical fire safety rating, which is ETL approval guidelines of fire safety. What this means is that for any infrared sauna to pass this fire safety stamp of approval, the heating element by design and nature, by most companies designs, must be encased in a fire retardant material. This means the heater is covered in this material and over time it can disintegrate when touched due to long exposures of the heaters being dampened by the material it's shrouded by for safety.

We found one company that has a patented design which allows them to receive the ETL approval WITHOUT having this fire retardant material covering their heaters. This means the heat waves are not restricted by having to pass through this material, and the health benefits of long term exposure have never been tested with this newly identified potential hazard of "char-coaling" the material and inhalation of the particles in the air.

This is definitely something to consider when choosing the best infrared sauna. Read a report about the ETL safety rating here:

It's always best to make sure that you check the construction and see that the wood is a solid wood with a tongue and groove construction. Most companies design their infrared saunas this way, but you should be careful of the cheaper veneers that some are using to build theirs with. While being cheaper, these veneer saunas are comparatively weaker and vulnerable by their construction to moisture damage that "de-laminates" the veneer away from the plywood over time. Even more importantly, a solid wood vs. plywood is more structurally sound. Plywood is also known to emit toxic formaldehyde into the atmosphere of your infrared sauna.

When considering the best infrared sauna to buy, I think it would be something to consider when you think about the facts that you're buying an infrared sauna possibly for the health benefits of removing toxins from your body. Infrared saunas are known for their incredible detoxification capabilities, and I don't know about you; but I wouldn't care to be inhaling toxic chemicals and possibly harmful particles from a disintegrated heater covering while trying to rid my body of toxins. Would you?

This would also be something to consider when discussing the glass of your infrared sauna with your dealer. The windows should be tempered glass without having to worry about the off-gassing from the plastic covering of non tempered glass windows when heated. Make sure the company you buy from is using a guaranteed non-toxic glue for the construction of your infrared sauna as well. These things DO count when it comes to choosing the best infrared sauna. So construction is a big part of this factor.

When choosing your infrared sauna, make sure the wood is not a poplar type. Poplar woods will give off emissions when heated, which have been reported to cause allergic reactions for some people because of the presence of a common cedrene; a potentially volatile oil of the terpine family. Base woods are the safest choice known for non allergic qualities. Any wood that gives off no odors when heated is your best bet.

Make sure that your far infrared sauna is purchased from a reputable company that offers a lifetime warranty on their heaters, electrical components, and wood construction against defects.

Always check with the manufacturer if you need special wiring (110 Volt / 220 Volt outlets) to operate your infrared sauna. Some amenities on infrared saunas can include a radio, cd player, and even DVD players with monitors for your relaxation. What better way to relax then listening to your favorite music, or watching a movie! Some manufacturers have incorporated the audio system inside your sauna. When considering the best infrared sauna, you have to think about the prolonged heat exposure these types of amenities will have to endure. No matter how well insulated they are, it may be in your best interest to not be so concerned about having one or perhaps look for a model that supplies connectors in the back of the cabin where you can install an external audio system.

After all the factors you can take into consideration about infrared saunas, you can be rest assured that you have done your research and found...
