DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFRARED AND TRADITIONAL SAUNA

  • Traditional saunas use heated air to warm the entire sauna space, typically reaching temperatures between 70°C and 110°C. This creates a dry, high-heat environment, ideal for deep, intense sweating and a classic sauna experience. Traditional saunas can also include steam by pouring water over hot stones, adding humidity to the air for a more soothing effect.

  • Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared light to directly warm the body rather than the air around it. This allows for a gentler heat, typically between 45°C and 60°C, which many people find more comfortable while still enjoying the benefits of deep sweating. Infrared heat penetrates the skin more deeply, promoting relaxation, muscle recovery, and improved circulation.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMLOCK AND RED CEDAR

Both Red Western Cedar and Hemlock are exceptional choices for sauna construction, offering premium quality and durability suited to different environments and preferences.

Hemlock is a popular choice for saunas, valued for its smooth texture, light color, and fine grain, which give it a modern and clean aesthetic. Unlike cedar, hemlock is non-aromatic, making it ideal for those who prefer a neutral sauna environment without strong scents. It is also low in resin, reducing the risk of sticky surfaces or allergic reactions.

Red Western Cedar is the premium choice for saunas, renowned for its exceptional durability and superior insulation. It is naturally resilient to moisture, temperature changes, and insects, making it an excellent option for both indoor and outdoor saunas. Its natural oils provide built-in protection against decay, reducing the need for maintenance. Additionally, cedar’s distinct, pleasant aroma enhances the sauna experience, creating a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. Its rich reddish-brown hue and unique grain patterns add a touch of luxury to any sauna space.

Whether you’re drawn to the smooth, neutral beauty of Hemlock or the aromatic, weather-resistant qualities of Red Cedar, both woods offer exceptional durability and comfort, ensuring a lasting and luxurious sauna experience.

WHY CHOOSE NOVA?

We know we say this a lot, but it’s worth repeating—we use these saunas every single day. And that’s exactly what sets us apart.

Over the past 16 months, we’ve rigorously tested our designs, making changes based on customer feedback and our own personal experiences. We know what works and what doesn’t because we’ve felt it ourselves—the good, the bad, and everything in between.

This hands-on approach is why every decision we make is backed by real testing and experience, not just theory.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED TO USE OUR SAUNAS?

At Nova Saunas, we're committed to supporting you every step of the way and even after your purchase.

Even after installation, we remain available to address any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring your continued satisfaction with your sauna.

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

Our Saunas are designed for minimal maintenance, but it's important to care for it to ensure longevity and optimal performance. We recommend wiping down the interior with a damp cloth every month to maintain hygiene. Leaving the door open after use allows airflow, which helps to keep the sauna dry and fresh. Additionally, we suggest varnishing the exterior once assembled and every 6-12 months thereafter, depending on the sauna's location, to protect it from environmental elements and maintain its appearance. These simple steps will help preserve your sauna and ensure years of enjoyment.

HOW LONG WILL A NOVA SAUNA LAST?

At Nova Saunas, we ensure the longevity of our Saunas by using high-quality materials and designing them with minimal components. Leveraging our expertise from the construction industry, this approach maximises durability and reliability. With proper maintenance and care, your Nova Sauna can last 20 years or longer, offering sustained enjoyment and wellness benefits.
