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.
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.
