Infrared heaters generally fall into one of three types; short-wave, medium-wave and long-wave, each operating at different temperatures. As well as this, the heaters can be ceramic, carbon fiber or a combination of both. Either way, infrared saunas and their heaters produce less energy output due to heating the core body temperature rather than creating steam to heat the room. Thermalux infrared saunas are selected with the best heater panels to ensure an optimum temperature is created throughout, allowing you to reap all of the benefits that the infrared sauna has to offer.
