Saunas can be a complicated purchasing decision. You might have a lot of questions. Here, at The Spa and Sauna Company, we do our best to educate our customers and make that decision a bit easier.
So, after you’ve decided you want a sauna, it’s time to decide if you are looking for a pre-built or custom sauna AND if you want a Traditional or Infrared sauna, or an InfraSauna, which is a combination of the two.
Keep in mind, there is no right or wrong type of sauna. It’s truly a matter of personal preference.
Traditional Vs. Infrared (Far-Infrared) Saunas
We find most often, here at The Spa and Sauna Company, that men tend to prefer a Traditional Sauna experience, which is more ritualistic experience that includes pouring water over hot stones to create steam and enhance humidity. In our experience, women tend to prefer an Infrared Sauna, which heat up quicker, using radiant heat, and don’t require any pouring of water.
Interestingly, couples tend to purchase InfraSaunas, which allow people to have either traditional or infrared sauna experience, depending on their needs at the time.
However, what we have found, at The Spa and Sauna Company, is that people tend to be happier with the purchase of a Traditional Sauna because they get hotter than Infrared Saunas do.

Pre-Built Saunas
Now, the decisions relating to custom vs. pre-built and traditional vs. infrared often come together at the same time.
Let’s explain the differences between Custom and Pre-Built Saunas.
Pre-Built or Pre-Fabricated Saunas are just that. They are free standing saunas that come ready made for you and ready to go into your home. While you can still incorporate these units to look like they are “built-in,” you should be aware that they are made in advance, to suit most people’s needs. They are not customized.
One benefit of a pre-built sauna is that they can be disassembled and moved if necessary.
Pre-Built Saunas can be Traditional, Infrared or Infra Saunas.
When considering a pre-built Infrared Sauna, we encourage you to keep in mind that Low EMF/EMR saunas are available in the B and S Series of Finnleo Pre-Fabricated saunas. Their EMF/EMR ratings are among the lowest in the Sauna Industry. S Series Saunas from Finnleo have the most features.
Both Series of Finnleo Saunas are available from The Spa and Sauna Company.
Custom Saunas
A Custom Cut Sauna can be built exactly to the specifications of your house and transform any location in your home into a sauna. You could even put it in an old, unused closet. As the name indicates, custom is specifically made for you and is typically a larger investment because of that. Detailed blueprints and close work with a Sauna Expert at The Spa and Sauna Company is required.
Custom Saunas can be Traditional, Infrared or Infra Saunas.
Regardless of the type of Sauna you choose, all saunas offer health and wellness benefits including:
Stress relief; Relaxed muscles; Soothed aches and pains; Flushed toxins; Improved cardiovascular performance; Illness prevention; Time for self-reflection; and A place for recreational and social benefits
We hope this information has made your search for a sauna a bit easier!
