2 person infrared saunas

Two person infrared sauna: you go straight in

The Infrared sauna BL-103 measures 155 × 110 cm, 190 high, and weighs 79 kg: it is the lightest cabin in the sauna range, less than half a Finnish cabin of the same size. The reason is technical: there is no stone heater to support, only radiant panels built into the walls. It costs € 4.565.

How infrared heat works

The panels emit infrared radiation that passes through the air without heating it and reaches the body directly. Room temperature stays between 45 and 60 degrees, against 80 to 90 in a Finnish cabin, but sweating is comparable, because the heat acts on the skin rather than on the air you breathe. Two practical consequences: the environment is far more tolerable for anyone who does not cope with intense heat, and you can go in a few minutes after switching on rather than waiting the forty minutes or more a Finnish sauna needs.

Installation: the simplest in the range

You need a space of 155 × 110 cm with a usable height of at least 190 cm, a level floor and an electrical socket. Unlike a Finnish cabin, an infrared unit of this size generally connects to a standard domestic socket with no dedicated circuit, though this should still be checked against the technical sheet. The cabin arrives as a kit and slots together. Ventilation is also less critical, because the humidity produced is far lower.

Frequently asked questions about the 2 person infrared sauna

Do you sweat as much as in a Finnish sauna? Yes, sweating is comparable, but at a much lower room temperature. What changes is the sensation, not the effect.

Can water be poured on the stones? No: there are no stones. The löyly, the burst of steam of the Finnish tradition, is the one thing an infrared cabin cannot reproduce.

What does it cost to run? Substantially less than a Finnish sauna: it draws less power and stays on for much less time, because it does not have to bring the whole air volume up to temperature.

How much does it cost? € 4.565, in the standard configuration.
