Guide to infrared sauna installation: environment preparation, electrical requirements, radiant panel positioning and ventilation.

1 Environment Preparation

Before proceeding with the infrared sauna installation, it is necessary to adequately prepare the environment that will house it.

Montaggio sauna infrarossi

1.1 Space and Floor Requirements

RequirementSpecification
Minimum surrounding space10-15 cm per side
Ceiling heightMinimum 200 cm
FloorFlat, level, dry
Level tolerance±3 mm/meter
Recommended materialsTiles, parquet, laminate, resin
Floor load capacity200-300 kg/m²

NOTE: The infrared sauna can be installed in any dry indoor environment: bathroom, bedroom, basement, gym.

WARNING: DO NOT use outdoors or in the rain. DO NOT use in humid environments.

1.2 Room Ventilation

Unlike the Finnish sauna, the infrared sauna does not require a forced ventilation system but it is sufficient to have:

  • Well-ventilated room with possibility of air exchange after use
  • Absence of excessive humidity in the room
  • Avoid installation in completely sealed rooms

1.3 Safety Distances

Respect the following minimum distances:

ElementMinimum Distance
Rear wall10 cm
Side walls10 cm
Ceiling10-20 cm
Electrical outletAccessible within 2 meters

2 Electrical Requirements

2.1 Electrical Line Characteristics

The infrared sauna requires standard single-phase electrical power:

Number of PeopleTotal PowerVoltageCircuit Breaker
1-2 people1200-1500 W220-240V Single-phase10A
2-3 people1500-2000 W220-240V Single-phase16A
3-4 people2000-2500 W220-240V Single-phase16A
4-5 people2500-3000 W220-240V Single-phase20A

2.2 Mandatory Requirements

  • Dedicated line with differential circuit breaker (GFCI 30mA)
  • Copper cable with heat-resistant insulation
  • Efficient and certified grounding
  • Compliance with electrical standards 

NOTE: Unlike the Finnish sauna, most infrared saunas can be connected to a standard 16A domestic outlet. Always verify the power of the specific model.

3 Structure Assembly

The infrared sauna is supplied in a prefabricated kit ready for assembly.

3.1 Kit Components

  • Pre-assembled wooden wall panels
  • Pre-wired infrared radiant panels
  • Tempered glass door with frame and hinges
  • Ventilated roof
  • Benches and backrests
  • Digital control panel
  • Pre-installed electrical wiring
  • Screws and hardware

3.2 Basic Assembly Procedure

  1. Verify presence of all components from the packing list
  2. Position the base floor in the final position
  3. Mount the side panels according to the provided diagram
  4. Assemble the rear wall with integrated infrared panels
  5. Install the side walls with infrared panels
  6. Mount the door frame and hang the door
  7. Position the ventilated roof
  8. Install benches and backrests
  9. Connect the wiring to the control panel
  10. Perform operation test

WARNING: Estimated assembly time 1-2 hours for 2 people. Always consult the specific model manual.

4 Infrared Panel Installation

Infrared panels are pre-installed in the walls.

5 Panel Electrical Connection

5.1 Wiring System

All panels are connected in parallel to the main control panel:

  1. Connect each panel to the pre-installed main wiring
  2. Verify that the connectors are fully inserted
  3. Connect the main cable to the control panel
  4. Connect temperature sensor in the indicated position
  5. Connect lighting and optional accessories
  6. Connect main power cable to the outlet

WARNING: Do not modify the pre-installed wiring. Any modification voids the warranty and safety certification.

5.2 Control Panel

The control panel manages:

  • Automatic on and off
  • Temperature adjustment (35-65°C)
  • Programmable timer (10-60 minutes)
  • Real-time temperature monitoring
  • Chromotherapy control (if present)
  • Audio system (if present)

6 First Start-Up

6.1 Pre-Start Checks

  • Verify that all panels are correctly secured
  • Check that all electrical connections are complete
  • Verify that the door opens and closes correctly
  • Check stability of benches and backrests
  • Verify temperature sensor positioning
  • Remove any plastic protection from the panels

6.2 First Start-Up Procedure

  1. Plug the plug into the electrical outlet
  2. Turn on the main switch on the control panel
  3. Set temperature to 50°C
  4. Set timer to 30 minutes
  5. Start heating
  6. Verify that all panels light up progressively
  7. Wait 15-20 minutes and verify temperature is reached
  8. Check for absence of abnormal odors (slight odor during first start-ups is normal)

NOTE: During the first 2-3 start-ups it is normal to perceive a slight odor due to the initial heating of paints and materials. Ventilate the room well.

Accessibility Statement

The service

This is the online shop of Beauty Luxury, where you can browse products, request a quotation, and place an order.

Applicable requirements

The service is provided by Beauty Luxury S.r.l. and is an e-commerce service.

How the site works

Every page can be used with a keyboard alone. The first link on each page skips to the main content. The element you are on is always outlined, and menus, drawers, and dialogues return you to the control that opened them when they close.

Display settings, linked at the top of every page and in the footer, change text size, text spacing, link underlining, and contrast; your choice is stored only in your browser.

Accessibility features

Perceivable

  • Contrast (minimum): Where text sits on a solid background, it stands out clearly enough to be read with reduced vision, at the levelWCAGrequires. Where text sits on a photograph, the high-contrast and plain views in the display settings give it a solid background.
  • Resize text: Text can be resized up to 200 per cent without loss of content or functionality.
  • Text spacing: Line, word, and letter spacing can be increased without loss of content or functionality.
  • Images and colour: Images that carry meaning have a text alternative, and colour is never the only way information is given.

Operable

Every function can be reached and used with a keyboard, focus follows the reading order and stays visible, nothing flashes, and moving content can be paused.

Understandable

Every page declares its language, navigation and controls stay consistent from page to page, and form fields have visible labels with errors described in words.

Robust

Interactive components expose their name, role, and state to assistive technologies.

Buying and paying

Account creation, sign-in, quotation requests, checkout, and payment meet the points above.

Product information

Where a manufacturer provides accessibility information about a product, we publish it on the product page.

Customer support

Customer service provides information about the accessibility of the service and its compatibility with assistive technologies by telephone (+39 0541 648566), by email (info@beauty-luxury.com), andby chat.
