Wood fired sauna heaters possess the largest heating capacity compared to most other sauna heaters so if you want it hot and steamy this might be your choice! We obsess about the quality of our products and we are always working directly with our sauna heater manufacturers to constantly improve our/their products.  This way we can guarantee that our sauna heaters exceed our and your expectations.

Electric Heater - Room size

A Finnish style heater needs to take into a few considerations when choosing its size.  Are the walls insulated?  If not, then add 20% extra surface area to each uninsulated wall when calculating cubic feet.  Is the door glass or insulated?  If it is not insulated, then add 50% to the door area when calculating cubic feet.  another very important consideration is proper venting?  A sauna should not be airtight.  Colder air must enter the sauna and vent properly outside.  An intake vent is usually found on traditional doors.  Normally a sauna will have an exhaust vent on the same wall as the heater.  Movement of air in a sauna is important for both comfort and enjoyment.

INFRARED SAUNA HEATERS- ROOM SIZE

We are one of the few companies in North America that offer Infrared sauna heaters as an option.  Most companies want you to buy their complete units. Our 300-watt infrared sauna heaters are made from carbon fiber. These have large surface areas and hence provide a large heating capacity compared to other smaller ceramic infrared heaters. The carbon fiber paper sheet placed in between 7-layer fiber glass (others only use 4) makes them virtually indestructible.  To correctly size an infrared sauna heater, you should calculate the cubic footage of your room.  Each cubic ft should have 10 Watts of Infrared heating capacity.  So, a 4' x 4' x 7' sauna room will need at least 1120 Watts of heating capacity.  Based on 300 Watts per heater you should have at least 4 heaters in such as room size.
