Frequently Asked Questions

General

How is a hybrid sauna different from a traditional or infrared sauna?

Hybrid saunas are equipped with both infrared heating technology and a traditional sauna stove in a single unit. Unlike standalone models, you can choose between the two heating methods.

Can hybrid saunas be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, hybrid saunas can be used indoors or outdoors, but every model is typically designed for a specific usage environment. Before installation, always check the manufacturer's specifications. Installing a sauna in the wrong usage environment and/or without proper protection may void a manufacturer's warranty.

What does "Full Spectrum" mean?

"Full Spectrum" refers to infrared saunas that emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. Each wavelength penetrates the body at different depths, providing a broader range of therapeutic heat options in a single session.

What are the benefits of full spectrum infrared vs far infrared?

Far infrared saunas emit only far wavelengths, known for deep heat that supports relaxation, circulation, and sweating. Full spectrum saunas include near, mid, and far infrared, offering a wider range of benefits, such as potential support of skin health and localized muscle relief.

Shipping & Warranty

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping within the continental U.S. is free. For other locations or custom arrangements, please contact us.

Where does the sauna ship from?

All of the saunas we sell are shipped from a location within the United States or Canada.

How long will it take for my sauna to ship?

Lead times vary by brand, but generally all sauna orders are processed within 5 business days and fully shipped within 2 to 14 business days from the order date.

What type of delivery service is provided?

Saunas are shipped via freight carriers with curbside delivery. The freight company will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment so please provide a phone number upon checkout.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, all of our saunas come with a manufacturer's warranty.

Below is a summary of the manufacturers' warranty policies. Please see the owners manuals for both the sauna and sauna heater for full details.

  • 5-Year Warranty covers control panel, wiring, lights, and wood structure.
  • 1-Year Warranty on the sauna stove covering parts, plus repair labor for up to 5 years.




Assembly

Does the sauna require assembly?

Yes, the sauna arrives in pre-assembled panels and requires simple assembly.

How difficult is it to assemble?

Assembly is straightforward and can typically be completed in a few hours with basic hand tools. No specialized skills are needed and instructions are included.

What tools will I need for assembly?

Only basic tools like a screwdriver and wrench are required. All major components and hardware are provided in the kit.

What are the electrical requirements?

The sauna requires a 240V / 40 AMP connection.

Usage & Maintenance

Can I use both the infrared and traditional heaters at the same time?

No, hybrid saunas are designed to operate one heating system at a time. You must choose either the infrared panels or the sauna stove for each session.

How long does it take to heat up?

Heating time will vary depending on the method of heating chosen for your session (infrared or traditional). Infrared panels typically reach their optimal temperature (120F - 140F) in 10-20 minutes and can be used as the sauna heats up. Traditional stoves can require 45-60 minutes to reach max temperature of 190F, with temps of 165F achieved in ~30 minutes.

What sort of maintenance is required?

Minimal maintenance is required. We recommend periodically wiping down the interior with mild soap and water. You can also clean the sauna stones with warm water and a soft brush to ensure even heating. The need for cleaning is reduced by always placing a towel beneath you when using the sauna.
