Sauna & Steam

Pool Spas offer a range of Infrared Saunas, more Traditional Saunas (also called Finnish Saunas) and Barrel Saunas which are suitable for the outdoors as well as everything else you need to make your sauna experience complete.

Infrared Saunas are the latest in technology when it comes to saunas. Infrared Sauna therapy offers a huge range of health benefits, including treatment for sports injuries, joint and muscle complaints, and detoxification. Infrared saunas reach a maximum temperature of around 65°C. This is because the infrared rays heat the body directly not just the air inside the sauna.

Traditional Finnish Steam Saunas are what probably springs to mind when you hear the word sauna, these work by generating heat by pouring water over hot stones which in turn produces steam. Traditional Steam saunas are able to create atmospheres of high humidity, and temperatures can reach up to 85°C. Real items of luxury, these traditional steam saunas are often found in gymnasiums and health spas.

Outdoor and Garden Saunas are fantastic if you can afford the outside space. These are standalone saunas that are traditionally heated with a wood burning stove, but also commonly use electric heaters. Built to withstand the elements, these saunas provide the perfect retreat from the stresses and strains of modern life, within the tranquillity of the outdoors. Infrared Saunas can also be positioned outside, but must be housed in a watertight structure, such as a summer house or cabin.
