Outdoor Saunas are Perfect for Winter

Saunas in the great outdoors might be one of the most relaxing options for winter. A sauna in the backyard can be a luxury sanctuary. There are many new options to help enhance the look of your own backyard and to fit your personal style. If you are fortunate enough to have a pool or hot tub in your yard, an outdoor sauna can be the perfect compliment. In the cold weather, the sauna and pool combination is amazing, as you can take the plunge in the cool pool between warming up in the sauna. The polar plunge!

People are constantly making the interior of their home personal and matching their style, but they often neglect the backyard. Adding furniture and some rocks is just not enough. An outdoor sauna can make your backyard the envy of the neighborhood. These saunas are making a comeback as everyone wants to find relaxation and peace in their own backyard.

The best way to take care of your backyard sauna is to make sure you treat the wood and keep it in the best shape possible. Saunas are made from soft woods such as cedar or which allow the absorption of steam. These woods handle the swelling better than hardwoods. Since the wood has a soft, porous surface, abrasive tools can scratch the delicate timber. Hard chemicals can also penetrate the wood, damaging the integrity of the sauna. Use carefully selected tools and cleaners to treat the wood properly and avoid damaging the sauna. In addition, all cedar saunas can be treated with linseed oil on the outside for protection and to give them a rich color.

If the wood on the inside of your sauna gets stained over the years, you can often renew it with a nice sanding. Make sure you finish with a really fine grit to prevent a porous surface. That would make the wood more susceptible to becoming stained again.

Check out the wide range of sauna kits to build your own backyard sauna, and head there to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. Saunas And Stuff will help you find the best options for your style and space, as well as help you take care and treat your sauna so it lasts for many years to come.

Carbon Fiber Infrared Saunas - Best Home Sauna Kits

Infrared Saunas are a popular new technology for saunas. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared radiant heat, which is absorbed directly into the human body. This is unlike traditional saunas, which heat the body indirectly via air or steam. These infrared saunas have become all the rage and are easier to tolerate for those that are sensitive to heat. 

The two main types of infrared saunas are bio ceramic tube infrared saunas and carbon fiber infrared saunas. There are several differences between the two types. The ceramic tube sauna has been around the longest and the carbon fiber is a new style and technology in infrared heaters. 

Carbon Fiber Infrared Saunas are slightly more expensive than bio ceramic tube infrared saunas. The heat in carbon infrared saunas is evenly distributed all throughout the sauna and has a very large surface area. In contrast, ceramic versions result in heat that is concentrated closer to the heaters themselves. Quick, smooth and evenly distributed heat fills the sauna in carbon fiber saunas, where ceramic saunas quickly heat up but heat is more intense closer to the heaters. 

Ceramic tube heaters are long, skinny tubes that emit infrared ray waves in all directions, thus reflectors are used to reflect the IR waves from the backside of the tubes into the sauna. The limitation is that they can create areas of concentrated heat waves where it is really hot and some areas that are cooler with less concentrated heat. 

Infrared rays are thermal heat, like the sun’s rays, and heat up what they bump into. If you stand in the sun, you feel hot until you step into the shade, where it feels cooler even though the temperature did not change. Infrared waves work similarly. 

The key purpose of the carbon fiber panel heaters is to create an even overall pattern of infrared waves inside the sauna. The entire panel can cover a large area of the walls, backs of benches and even floor panels and will emit an evenly distributed pattern of infrared rays. The goal is to heat the sauna user evenly to get a full body sweat going. 

Carbon Fiber Infrared saunas are the most durable with flexible and less fragile than ceramic heater rods. Carbon fiber saunas are also the most efficient with the lowest cost of operation. Most of our customers that have had the opportunity to try both options prefer the carbon fiber infrared sauna option.

Adding a Sauna to Your Meditation Routine

Current fads and trends in the athletic training world never seem to last very long. That is part of the reason we love the sauna. It has been around for more than 1,000 years as a way to recuperate from a hard workout. With the Olympics all the hype right now and athletes floating across your television screen, recovering from these hard workouts might be something to note, should you try to channel your inner Olympian.

One of the recent trends that have caught my attention (it has also been around for many, many years) is meditation. Allowing your mind to fully relax and drain all thoughts to a state of complete calmness has been touted by many for years as one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It is so incredibly hard to find a place to experience this full mind relaxation without other distractions and interruptions. The sauna came to the top of my mind as an amazing place to do daily meditation.

Saunas, especially those within the comfort of your own home, give you a place to allow both your body and mind to relax simultaneously. The twenty to forty minutes you take daily in the sauna allow you to slip into a meditative near-sleep state while you eliminate toxins from your body. Your mind can clear fully and all of your concerns can melt away.

Some of the major benefits of meditation include healthy cardiovascular health by slowing the heart rate and pace of breathing, lowering stress levels, strengthening the immune system and improved self-esteem and a more positive outlook on life.

Having the comfort of your own home sauna gives you the perfect place to practice daily meditation, to relax both your mind and body. Head to SaunasAndStuff.com to find your new mediation sanctuary!

Towel Warmers Give You Toasty Towels

Then you must look into the many options for towel warmers to warm up your towel and help keep you toasty. These are perfect for after using the sauna to stay warm instead of entering an icy room after a nice warm sauna session. They also help dry out your towel after using it, which can be very helpful in more humid climates.

Towel warmers continue to gain popularity in the United States. They have been used in many homes and hotels in Europe for many years. Towel warmers were used to heat towels, as well as help them dry after use. They can also serve as a radiator in the bathroom or any room in your house, including the one with your sauna, heating the air while warming up your towel.

Towel warmers can be hard wired or plugged in, depending on the style and where you want to use it. You can also mount them on your wall outside of the sauna, shower, bath, or steam shower to make it easy to grab that toasty towel without fear of your kids pulling it over.

The Steam Bath and Steam Shower Trend

There is a growing trend of steam bath and steam showers across the nation. They offer both the benefits of a steam room and the functionality of a shower or bath. It is a fun, relaxing way to get clean and relax at the same time.

Steam showers are a type of bathing where a humidifying steam generator produces water vapor that is dispersed around a person’s body. It can be explained as a steam room that offers the same features of a bathroom shower, or a regular shower with an added steam feature that is powered by a home steam generator. Some steam showers also use solar thermal technology and heat the water with the sun, reducing the electricity bill.

A major difference between steam showers and saunas are the humidity levels. Steam baths tend to be more humid, but you can adjust the temperature and steam in both. Steam showers are usually in an enclosure that prevents the water vapor and steam from escaping.

Steam showers are available in a variety of materials, including but not limited to acrylic, fiberglass, stone and wood. Modern steam showers also provide additional features that may include foot massagers, rain faucet showers, stereo and television features, chromotherapy (light therapy) and aromatherapy.

Steam baths provide the same concept as steam showers. Heaters are used to maintain warm temperatures in the baths.

Steam showers and baths offer a lot of the same benefits of the sauna. The steam will soothe sinus irritation and chest congestion. Sweating helps clear your pores and purge toxins. The elevated temperatures increase your circulation for healthier skin and more energy. It will also help relax sore and stiff muscles.

SaunasAndStuff.com offers many options for steam baths and showers. We have a great selection of steam generators to help create your relaxing oasis.

Saunas at the Spas - A Must

When I head to the spa for a full day of relaxation, one of the things I look forward to besides the relaxing massage is sitting in the sauna. I always enjoy detoxing in the heat of the sauna after a relaxing massage. There is something exciting about the cleansing and renewing of your body.

I always get sad when I notice a spa location or hotel spa does not include a sauna. There are so many easy sauna options to sit in the smallest places or set up exactly how you would like, so adding a sauna can be easy and an exciting addition.

With all of the amazing health benefits of the sauna, it is the perfect thing to add to allow your clients to experience the most relaxing and fulfilling experience at your spa. I always try to use the sauna for approximately 10 minutes at a time, depending on how I feel and my temperature. I also always advise take a shower upon exiting the sauna to rinse away the toxins off my skin, since the sauna helps expel toxins in your body out through your pores.

There are so many great sauna options in all different shapes, sizes and kinds to fit your needs and what will best benefit your customers. The two main types of saunas are dry and wet. Wet saunas, otherwise known as steam rooms, are kept at lower temperatures to prevent superheated water from scalding the skin on contact. Dry saunas are kept at much higher temperatures by keeping the moisture levels down to close to zero. These extreme temperatures cause relaxation and promote sweating to help cleanse the system and provide health benefits. These dry saunas are the types I would suggest for the majority of spas. Larger spas can have both options.

Infrared saunas are the most popular as the infrared technology produces heat through electromagnetic radiation heaters. One of the reasons infrared saunas are gaining popularity is because of the lower air temperature which is easier to tolerate. Especially in the case of first time users, infrared provides the same sauna benefits of a traditional version, without the intense and sometimes unbearable heat and thick air.
