Infrared Sauna Design

A lower-temperature sauna experience designed around modern wellness.

Infrared saunas offer a different kind of heat experience than traditional saunas. Instead of heating the air around you with a heater and stones, infrared systems use radiant heat panels to warm the body directly.

For many clients, that makes infrared a strong fit for home gyms, recovery rooms, wellness spaces, and modern residential or commercial environments where comfort, design, and routine matter.

At Les Bois Sauna & Leisure, we help clients determine whether infrared, traditional, hybrid, custom, or modular sauna options make the most sense for their space and goals.

Sauna Experience

Infrared and traditional saunas create heat differently.

Both can be excellent options. The right choice depends on the space, desired experience, temperature preference, budget, and how the sauna will be used.

Traditional Saunas

Heater, stones, and the authentic Finnish experience.

A traditional sauna uses a heater and stones to heat the air around you. These saunas typically reach higher temperatures and allow for steam by pouring water over the stones.

  • Authentic Finnish sauna experience
  • Higher operating temperatures
  • Heater and stone system
  • Steam possible with water over stones
  • Strong fit for traditional heat therapy

Infrared Saunas

Radiant heat panels for a gentler, modern experience.

An infrared sauna uses radiant heat panels to warm the body directly. These saunas generally operate at lower temperatures and can feel more approachable for clients who prefer a gentler heat experience.

  • Radiant heat panels
  • Lower operating temperatures
  • Modern wellness feel
  • Strong fit for home gyms and recovery spaces
  • Comfortable daily-use option for many clients

Guidance

The right infrared sauna depends on the space, system, and experience you want.

We help you make confident decisions across every choice that shapes how the finished infrared sauna performs and feels.

  • Space + Layout

    We help determine where the infrared sauna should go, how it should fit into the room, and how the layout supports daily use.

  • Infrared System

    We help guide the right infrared setup based on size, budget, goals, and the type of experience the client wants.

  • Custom vs Modular

    Some infrared sauna projects are better suited for modular solutions, while others may require a more custom design approach.

  • Wood + Finishes

    Wood selection, bench design, lighting, and finish details all shape how the sauna looks and feels.

  • Electrical Planning

    Infrared saunas still require proper electrical planning based on the system, size, and installation location.

  • Lighting + Upgrades

    Mood lighting, controls, red light therapy upgrades, and surrounding wellness features can help create a more complete sauna experience.
