Freedom Saunas

Frequently asked questions

• How does an infrared sauna work?

  Traditional saunas raise the air temperature within the chamber to very high levels to warm the body, whereas infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air.

  This results in deeper tissue penetration. You feel the heat as a warming sensation on your skin within the first few minutes of a session. Because the body is heated directly rather than through superheated air, infrared saunas can be effective at lower temperatures, making the experience more comfortable for many users.
  
  

• Can I use the sauna outdoors?

  The Lyra and Velora saunas are designed for indoor use only. We do have outdoor saunas arriving soon—sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when they arrive!

• What warranty comes with the sauna?

  Our saunas come with a five-year structural warranty, and two-year warranty on all components.

• What type of infrared do the Lyra and Velora saunas use?

  The Velora and Lyra saunas have both low EMF far infrared heaters and full spectrum heaters. Far-infrared heaters focus only on long wavelengths designed for deep sweat, while full-spectrum heaters combine near-, mid-, and far-infrared light to provide a wider variety of therapeutic benefits, including cellular regeneration and improved circulation.

• How hot do the saunas get, and how long do they take to heat up?

  The Lyra and Velora saunas both heat up to 65°C. Heating time is around 30mins, subject to ambient room temperature.

• What are the EMF levels in your saunas?

  The Lyra and Velora saunas have both low EMF far infrared heaters and full spectrum heaters. Whilst the full spectrum heaters offer some great benefits, they do add to the overall EMF rating. This results in an overall EMF rating of 10mG.
