Steam saunas are small rooms designed to experience wet and dry heat sessions. Only sauna bath provides dry and damp air at the same time, and this helps the body perspire. The body not only perspires but also opens the pores which in turn helps in cleansing the body, also helps in soothing sinus related problems, chest congestion and much more. The benefits of saunas are tremendous; it gets better with every bath. Saunas are also said to reduce the stress level to a considerable level, rejuvenating and relaxing, this does it all.

There are three major types of saunas:

Infrared saunas: Unlike electric saunas, infrared saunas heat the objects first and then the air. People who like heating baths, this is for you. Infrared saunas also take lesser time to heat up, the time taken ranges between 30-40 minutes.

Electric saunas: As mentioned these saunas heat the air first and then the objects. These saunas do not require wood to burn, which means the room is heated with electricity.

Wood saunas: As the name suggests wood is used to heat the room. Smoke of wood and the smell of wood burning fill the room, and the experience is enchanting.

Sauna rooms can be designed either in a rectangular shape or as a barrel. Barrel shaped saunas are known as round saunas. These saunas are large and round in shape and can easily accommodate 8 people at a time. These are meant to be outdoors, and are the size of a cottage. The advantage of round saunas over other saunas is that this sauna gives enough head room and leg room when compared to other saunas. As this is installed outdoors it does not need a room in the house. The reason behind installing this sauna outdoor is that as soon as the person comes out of the sauna, he/she is able to breathe fresh air. These are beautifully designed and add to the entire look of the house; apart from this they offer greater flexibility, relaxation and warmth.
