Traditional, infrared, and hybrid saunas provide different sauna experiences. Traditional saunas heat the surrounding air and typically operate at higher temperatures, while infrared saunas use infrared energy to provide warmth at lower air temperatures. Hybrid models combine traditional and infrared heating, giving you more flexibility in how you use the sauna.
Size and configuration matter as well. Consider how many people will typically use the sauna, the interior seating and space, where it will be installed, and which controls and features are important to you. Comparing these factors can help you determine which type and model best fits your home.
Visit Hesselson’s showroom in Elmira Heights to see sauna options in person and get a better sense of the differences between available designs and heating technologies. Sitting inside a sauna can help you evaluate the interior space, bench depth, seating position, headroom, and overall comfort in ways that photos and dimensions alone cannot. Our team can also answer questions about heating types, sizing, installation, controls, and available models.
