What sets the Barcelona apart is its focus on health and safety. It features six low EMF FAR infrared carbon heating elements, which emit safe levels of electromagnetic fields between 6-10MG at 6-8 inches from the heating panels. 

The infrared technology heats your body directly rather than the air, providing a deep, penetrating warmth that helps to relax and rejuvenate muscles, improve circulation, and promote detoxification.

This sauna also comes equipped with modern conveniences, including a music system with Bluetooth capability, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes while you unwind.

The sauna features Finnmark’s UL-listed Spectrum Plus infrared heaters known to penetrate muscles and joints more effectively than standard carbon panel heaters. This results in a sweat that is up to 25 times more intense, promoting deep detoxification and muscle recovery.

In addition to infrared heating, the Trinity features a traditional 1.9kW sauna heater so you can enjoy the classic steam sauna experience as well. You can splash water onto the rocks to generate steam, creating a luxurious, high-heat environment that relaxes the body and clears the mind. 

What makes this sauna truly unique is its integration of Spectrum Red Light™ therapy, a medical-grade phototherapy system that uses low-level light wavelengths to stimulate collagen production, improve skin health, and promote overall well-being.

Crafted from antimicrobial Western Canadian cedar, the interior is naturally resistant to mold, bacteria, and fungus, ensuring a clean and healthy sauna environment. The Thermal Plus™ Aspen exterior is incredibly durable, resisting rot, warp, and decay, making this one of the healthiest and longest-lasting saunas on the market. 

The FD-4 Trinity is also user-friendly, featuring a built-in LCD touchscreen controller with Bluetooth audio and HiFi marine-grade speakers for an immersive experience. 

With its extra-large two-tier bench system, this sauna offers plenty of space to relax, while its low EMF output has been tested by a NASA award-winning facility to ensure safety.

Tips on Choosing the Best Home Infrared Saunas For Your Needs

There you have it - the 5 best infrared home sauna options in 2024, each of which is available here at Nordica Sauna for the lowest prices online! 

But if you’re still not sure which is right for you, don’t sweat it (pun intended!) - we’ll walk you through a quick sauna buying guide to leave you feeling confident placing your order.

Size

Our advice is to first determine which of the sauna sizes aligns with your needs - from there, you can narrow down your options dramatically. Think about how many people will be using the sauna at the same time. 

If you’re looking for a personal retreat or a space for two, a smaller sauna, such as a 1-2 person model, will suffice. These typically fit comfortably in smaller spaces like a master bathroom or a walk-in closet. 

However, if you plan to share the experience with family or friends, consider a larger sauna. Models that accommodate 4-8 people are better suited for shared wellness experiences and require more space, such as a dedicated area in a basement or outdoor patio. 

Here are the different sizes we carry at Nordica Sauna:

• 1 person infrared sauna
• 2 person infrared sauna
• 3 person infrared sauna
• 4 person infrared sauna
• 5 person infrared sauna
• 6 person infrared sauna
• 8 person infrared sauna

Just be aware that the bigger the sauna, the higher the cost - not just upfront, but for operating the sauna over time as well. Speaking of which…

Cost

The sauna cost can be overwhelming, especially when going with an infrared model as these use more sophisticated heating systems. 

Remember, though, you get what you pay for. While these cost more upfront they’re more affordable to run over time. Plus, you’re investing in your health, home, and happiness - what price tag could you possibly put on that?!

Still, you’ll need to set a budget for the purchase. Your cost will largely correlate with the size you choose, but also the specific brand and features.

Less expensive models are usually smaller and have fewer features, making them ideal for those looking for a simple, cost-effective option. 

On the higher end, more luxurious models offer advanced technology, larger capacities, and additional features like chromotherapy lighting and built-in sound systems.

Here at Nordica Sauna we offer the lowest prices in the industry so you can rest assured you’re getting the best deal. You can also use HSA/FSA funds in some cases, and we have hassle-free financing options so you don’t have to stress about the financial side of things.

Material

The material used in the construction of the sauna affects both its durability and aesthetics. It can also influence the safety of your sauna. 

Hemlock is a popular choice due to its durability, resistance to cracking, and smooth finish. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a good option for people with sensitivities. Cedar, on the other hand, is naturally resistant to rot and has a pleasant aroma that enhances the sauna experience. 

Some brands go the extra mile to use reforested or fallen lumber in their saunas, making them a more environmentally friendly option.

Warranty

A good warranty can provide peace of mind and protect your investment. Look for saunas that offer at least a 5-year warranty on major components like the heating elements and control panels. Some offer even longer warranties or lifetime coverage on structural components. 

Just be aware of the terms of your warranty - for example, you might need to have a professional install your sauna to avoid voiding your warranty. Any alteration made to the sauna will typically void the warranty as well.

Highest Temperature

The key difference between an infrared sauna vs dry sauna comes down to heat. Infrared saunas typically operate at a lower sauna temperature than traditional saunas, but the way these saunas heat your body leads to a more intense sweat.

Still, you should consider the maximum temperature a sauna can reach before placing your order. Most peak around 140°F, which is sufficient for deep heat therapy. However, if you prefer a hotter environment, look for models that can reach temperatures closer to 150-170°F.

Key Features

Modern infrared saunas come equipped with a variety of features that can enhance your sauna experience, from setting the mood to warming your sauna remotely so it’s ready when you get home. Here are a few you might be interested in:

• Chromotherapy Lighting: Uses different colors of light to promote physical and mental well-being.
• Built-in Sound Systems: Allows you to listen to music, podcasts, or guided meditations while you relax.
• Digital Controls: Make it easy to adjust the temperature, set timers, and control other features with precision.
• Red Light Therapy: Some saunas integrate red light therapy, which can stimulate collagen production and improve skin health.

Safety

Now, are infrared saunas safe? Absolutely!At least, when you buy the best infrared sauna for home use at Nordica Sauna! Our low EMF infrared sauna selection protects you from prolonged exposure to harmful levels.

You can also enjoy more peace of mind by ensuring the sauna meets safety certifications like ETL or CE, which indicate that the product has been tested for electrical safety and performance. Proper ventilation, secure door latches, and shatterproof glass also help.

Installation

Determining whether you want an indoor vs outdoor sauna is essential as well, as the types of saunas you have access to will vary. 

For indoor saunas, make sure there’s adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. If you’re placing the sauna outdoors, consider weather-resistant materials and ensure it’s positioned on a stable, level surface.

Regardless of the location you choose to install your sauna you’ll need to consider whether you can handle the project yourself or if you’ll hire help. Professional installation saves you a ton of stress and labor, offering peace of mind knowing it’s done right. You’ll just have to factor this into your budget.
