Market guide
Choose heat and room format
Match the system to the space and installation scopeTraditional, infrared and hybrid rooms create different heat, electrical and assembly systems. Compare the room experience and installation record without treating health or EMF marketing as proof of an outcome or of safety.
01
Heat
Choose the experience, not a promised outcome
Traditional heaters warm the room and stones, while infrared systems use emitters directed into the occupied space. Hybrid rooms combine hardware and controls rather than erasing their differences.
- Try
- Use representative systems long enough to judge heat pattern, controls and seating.
- Claims
- Do not rank products by unverified health, recovery, detoxification or EMF language.
02
Room
Choose modular room or liner kit deliberately
A panel room arrives as a defined product. A liner kit becomes part of a separately prepared room and expands the design and trade scope.
- Scope
- List walls, ceiling, floor, door, benches, heater, control, lighting and ventilation by responsible party.
- Manual
- Select the exact current room, heater and control manuals before design begins.
03
People
Fit bodies before the capacity label
Nominal person counts do not show shoulder room, upper-bench length, entry clearance or whether someone can lie down.
- Mockup
- Mark bench heights, lengths, door swing and heater guard in the proposed space.
- Access
- Plan entry and controls for the actual occupants without claiming accessibility from a photo.
