Types of heat, Steam, Infrared, Carbon Fiber

types of heat

Cal Heat Saunas are designed to alleviate muscle tension, promote deep relaxation and naturally detoxify the body using one of three types of heat: Steam, infrared or carbon fiber.

Steam

Steam or “traditional” heating (found on our Custom and Out- door series) uses an electrical element to produce steam from the combination of heated rocks and water. Rocks efficiently store heat and provide an excellent surface for the release of steam when water is applied. By using rocks in the entire heat- er, the Cal Heat design ensures an even distribution of heat and steam for a more comfortable and effective sauna experience. Our steam saunas are designed to maximize airflow and to en- sure fast, effective and efficient heat distribution.

Infrared

Infrared or “Far Infrared” heating (found on our Infrared Series) uses a wavelength of energy found in sunlight’s invisible spec- trum to provide soothing heat. In an infrared sauna, the heat passes through the skin, warms the body through molecular vibration and promotes perspiration. Infrared saunas are gener- ally much cooler than steam saunas because the body absorbs most of the wavelengths. While steam saunas regularly reach temperatures from 140° to 190°, infrared saunas provide many of the same health benefits of traditional steam saunas but only raise the indoor temperature from 105° to 140°. The benefits of an infrared sauna are felt quickly due to the relatively short amount of time needed to preheat.

Carbon Fiber

Carbon Fiber heating (found on our Carbon Fiber Series) oper- ates similarly to infrared heating. In a Carbon Fiber sauna, the wavelength is optimized to more deeply diffuse through the

skin and heat the body. The human body is made up primarily of carbon and water, so the spectrum from a carbon fiber heater is easier for the body to absorb. Carbon fiber heaters emit the

most even and direct deep penetrating heat, enhancing detoxi- fication, pain relief and increasing blood flow. Also, lower sur- face temperatures of the carbon fiber heater and lower indoor temperatures from 100° to 125° make this type of sauna both extremely comfortable and effective.
