FAQs
How does a Sunhaven Infrared sauna work?
Unlike traditional saunas that simply heat the air around you, Sunhaven infrared saunas use advanced infrared technology to warm your body directly. Only about 20% of the heat warms the air — the rest penetrates deeply into your tissue, increasing your core temperature and stimulating natural healing responses.
This targeted thermal energy boosts your lymphatic, immune, and cardiovascular systems, prompting a deep, cleansing sweat that supports detoxification and overall well-being. Since water molecules in your body resonate with far infrared waves, the process also enhances cellular cleansing.
That’s why every Sunhaven sauna is equipped with strategically placed 360° infrared heaters—on the back, sides, and even beneath the legs and feet. This full-body coverage ensures you receive balanced heat exposure, maximize core temperature elevation, and achieve the full benefits of infrared therapy.
What are the specific health benefits of full-spectrum infrared saunas?
Full Spectrum Infrared saunas combine near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR) infrared wavelengths to deeply penetrate body tissues, promoting detoxification, pain relief, improved circulation, and healthier skin. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that daily use of far-infrared saunas for two weeks reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 11 mmHg. Another study from Japan showed that patients with chronic pain experienced an average 70% reduction in pain levels after four weeks of infrared sauna therapy. This gentle yet effective heat treatment also helps relax the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support metabolism and weight management.

What are the benefits of an outdoor steam sauna?
Outdoor steam saunas provide a traditional sauna experience with high heat and steam, which promote relaxation, improve circulation, and help cleanse the body through sweating.
How long will it take for me to receive the sauna?
If the product is in stock, it takes about 7-9 days from ordering to receiving the sauna. If it is not in stock, it takes about 45-55 days.
What are the benefits of red cedar to the human body?
Western Red Cedar is an ideal wood choice for saunas due to its exceptional natural properties. It offers excellent resistance to moisture and decay, maintaining stability without warping or cracking even in high-temperature, high-humidity environments. Its moderate thermal conductivity ensures the surface remains comfortable and safe to the touch. Additionally, the wood emits a subtle, pleasant aroma that promotes relaxation and enhances the overall sauna experience. With its warm tones and beautiful grain patterns, Western Red Cedar brings both functionality and natural elegance to any sauna space.
Care and maintenance of outdoor saunas.
1. Routine Cleaning
- Wash with warm water and a gentle, non-abrasive soap. Do not use strong chemicals, as they may damage the wood.
- Since they are in direct contact with skin, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Occasionally smooth the surface with fine sandpaper to maintain comfort.
- Wipe down ceilings to avoid moisture buildup and keep lights dry.
2. Proper Ventilation
Always air out the sauna after use. Keep doors, vents, or windows open until all moisture evaporates, preventing mold and bacteria.
3. Wood Condition Check
Inspect panels regularly for cracks, warping, or other damage. Replace any compromised sections promptly. Do not apply oil-based finishes, as they can reduce heating efficiency.
4. Temperature and Humidity Control
Keep the sauna within the ideal range of 40–60% humidity and 150 °F–210 °F. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat or dampness. Use a hygrometer and thermometer for accuracy.
5. Heater Care
Wipe off dust and dirt from the heater to maintain peak performance. Use the recommended stones and replace them periodically. For electric heaters, check wiring to ensure safe connections.
6. Mold and Bacteria Prevention
Apply anti-mold or antibacterial spray in high-moisture areas. Use removable mats on the floor for easier cleaning and to discourage bacterial growth.
7. Scheduled Inspections
Set a regular maintenance routine to check wood, heater, and electrical systems. Depending on usage, arrange an annual or professional inspection to ensure safe operation.
8. Doors and Windows
Check seals to prevent heat from escaping. Lubricate hinges and locks to keep doors operating smoothly.
How do I maintain the sauna exterior?
We recommend reapplying a coat of natural wood oil every 2–3 years. This enhances water resistance and prolongs the life of the sauna.
Warranty period and service life?
Our indoor saunas are backed by a 3-year warranty and our outdoor saunas by a 1-year warranty, and with an average service life of 10–15 years, every sauna is a long-term investment in wellness and lasting value.
How is the sauna transported?
The sauna will be disassembled and packed in wooden boxes for delivery by truck. Please note that with our free shipping plan, the boxes will be delivered to your doorstep curbside. If you need it delivered to your home, please choose white glove service. We will charge an additional fee.
Foundation material and foundation size.
The foundation only needs to be leveled and compacted for stability. Suitable materials include concrete, gravel, or wooden decking. We recommend that the foundation dimensions be 4–5 inches larger than the sauna’s base size. However, you may also choose a foundation with the exact same dimensions as the sauna base.
Can outdoor saunas be used in subzero temperatures?
Yes. Our outdoor saunas are designed for use in cold climates. However, please note that heating time will be slightly longer in extreme cold. The heating effect remains the same; only the warm-up process is slower.
What wind resistance level can the sauna withstand?
All our saunas use tempered safety glass that can withstand wind forces of up to Level 10 on the Beaufort scale.
Do outdoor saunas require a 220V power supply?
Yes. Large saunas, especially outdoor units, must operate on 220V to ensure efficient heating. Lower voltages may cause slow heating and prevent the sauna from reaching the required maximum temperature.
Do you provide installation services?
Yes, installation services are available at checkout. We strongly recommend purchasing professional installation for outdoor saunas. Please note: installation service covers sauna assembly only. Electrical wiring and foundation preparation are not included.
