How to choose an infrared heater?
Type of radiation
Infrared rays are divided into near (IR-A), medium (IR-B) and far (IR-C). Different types of heaters are felt differently: some provide more intense, deeper-feeling heat, others – gentler and more even. There are also heaters combining several radiation types.
Power and quantity
Required power depends on cabin size and number of seating places. Usually several heaters are used, arranged so that the heat reaches the back, sides and legs.
Placement and installation
Heaters are installed on the wall, behind the backrest or in other locations indicated by the manufacturer. It is necessary to maintain the distance to a seated person and combustible surfaces specified by the manufacturer.
Compatibility with control
Heaters require a control system that allows adjusting the intensity and session duration. It must match the type of heaters and the total power, so it is worth choosing heaters and control together.
Infrared heaters in a traditional sauna
Some infrared heaters can also be installed in a regular sauna as an additional heat source. In this way, in one space you can choose the classic sauna heat or a gentler infrared heat. Whether a specific model is suitable for such use is indicated by the manufacturer.
