From compact ADUs to high-rise condos, our infrared saunas bring efficient, low-EMF warmth to San Francisco homes. Each build is designed for local lifestyles: small urban spaces, steep energy costs, and year-round wellness. We customize wood selection, panel layout, and airflow for comfort and install everything to California code.
Each infrared sauna we install is designed around your goals, available space, and aesthetic preferences. We build with premium woods such as cedar and hemlock, pair them with ergonomic bench seating, and use low-EMF infrared panels for safe, consistent performance. Optional upgrades—like LED chromotherapy lighting, built-in sound systems, or custom finishes—take your space to the next level. From initial design to expert installation, we ensure every detail supports comfort, safety, and long-lasting quality.
Since infrared saunas don’t require heavy-duty ventilation or plumbing, they can be installed almost anywhere. Bay Area homeowners often choose master bathrooms, spare bedrooms, or home gyms. Condo owners in neighborhoods like SoMa or Nob Hill often convert walk-in closets or alcoves, while larger homes in the East Bay may dedicate space in a garage or basement. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your layout and recommend the most comfortable, practical location for your sauna.
Yes. For most healthy adults, daily or near-daily use is safe and beneficial. Sessions typically last 20–40 minutes, helping with detoxification, relaxation, and sleep quality. Infrared panels operate at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, making them easier on the heart and more comfortable for extended use. Our saunas feature low-EMF technology for added peace of mind. As always, if you’re pregnant or managing a medical condition, we recommend speaking with your doctor before starting a regular sauna routine.
Absolutely. Infrared saunas are highly versatile and can be enhanced with features like mood-balancing chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth speakers for music or guided meditation, Himalayan salt walls for ambiance and air quality, and smart controls that let you adjust heat and lighting with a tap. Many San Francisco clients also personalize the look to match their homes—from modern glass-panel doors in city lofts to rustic wood finishes for hillside retreats in Marin. These upgrades ensure your sauna feels personal and perfectly integrated into your space.
Infrared saunas use invisible light waves that penetrate the body directly, heating you from the inside out rather than simply warming the air. This allows for a lower room temperature while still delivering deep sweating, muscle recovery, and improved circulation. Because the heat is gentler and more targeted, many people find the experience more relaxing and easier to enjoy for longer sessions. For Bay Area homes where space and ventilation are often limited, infrared saunas are a smart, efficient, and wellness-driven solution.
Infrared saunas are especially popular across the Bay Area because they provide a gentler heat experience with excellent health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air to 160°F–200°F, infrared saunas warm your body directly at a lower temperature (100°F–130°F). This makes them more energy-efficient, easier to fit into smaller spaces, and more accessible for those sensitive to intense heat. Traditional saunas remain a great option for the classic experience, but infrared is ideal for everyday use, lower energy bills, and urban living.
