How Long To Heat Up My Outdoor Sauna?
The matter of heat up time for any sauna will be a matter of personal bather preference and outdoor weather conditions. What I mean by this, is that each sauna bather enjoys their experience uniquely. Some folks want to be in the room from the start up so that they can experience the heat gradually rise from room temperature up to the desired high temperature. Others want to enter the sauna at the exact high temp that they prefer. And finally, everyone enjoys their sauna experience at a different temperature point.

Sauna Room Top Tips
How does an Infra-Red room differ from a Finnish Rock Sauna?
The only thing in common between an IR Room and a Finnish Rock Sauna Room is that both are lined with cedar wood. The IR Room has exposed elements on all sides of the room to create warmth. The only parts of the body that get warm are the ones that are closest to the IR panels. A Finnish Rock Sauna heats the entire body. A typical Infra-Red room will heat to 125 degrees. A Rock Sauna Room can get as hot as 194 degrees which is the highest heat mandated by the UL listing regulation. IR Room humidity cannot be controlled as there is no way to add water to the electric IR panels. There are many differences in the experience of an Infra-Red Room and a traditional Finnish Rock Sauna Room. These differences mean that there is a sauna experience for everyone.
