Infrared Sauna

Modern Heat Therapy Built for Southern California Homes & Wellness Spaces

Looking for a low-heat, high-impact way to relax, recover, and feel better daily? At San Diego Custom Saunas, we design and install custom infrared saunas that bring wellness to your home or business—with no steam or high heat required. Unlike traditional systems, infrared saunas use advanced heating panels that warm your body directly, delivering deep, therapeutic effects at lower temperatures.

Whether you're adding one to your beachside home in La Jolla or outfitting a wellness suite in Encinitas, our infrared sauna solutions are crafted to complement your space, routine, and goals.

Why Choose Infrared Over Traditional Sauna Heat?

Infrared saunas emit radiant heat that penetrates deep into your muscles and joints without the intense air temperature associated with conventional sauna systems. Typically operating between 100°F and 130°F, they offer a more accessible and energy-efficient experience.

Popular Infrared Sauna Benefits Include:

*

Comfortable Sessions:

Enjoy longer, more relaxing sessions without the stifling heat

*

Full-Body Detox:

Encourages deep sweating, which may aid in toxin release

*

Muscle & Joint Relief:

Supports circulation and helps reduce soreness after exercise

*

Improved Skin Appearance:

Promotes cell regeneration and pore cleansing

*

Energy Efficient:

Uses less power than most traditional electric or steam systems

*

Low-Maintenance:

Fewer moving parts, no steam, and no rocks to replace

From spa-quality in-home designs to compact commercial installs, every infrared sauna we build is tailored with precision—using high-end materials like cedar, hemlock, or spruce and optional upgrades like Bluetooth speakers, chromotherapy lighting, or custom glass panels.

Is Infrared Sauna Right for You?

Every sauna has its strengths, and infrared is ideal when you want gentle, effective warmth without high humidity or heat buildup. It’s a great option for health-conscious users who want a convenient, daily-use system with minimal footprint. You may prefer an infrared sauna if:

*

You're new to saunas or sensitive to heat:

Infrared provides a milder session with no overwhelming air temperature

*

You're integrating sauna use into daily recovery:

Infrared systems are easy to use regularly and work well with home gyms, yoga rooms, or wellness nooks

*

You're limited on space or building infrastructure:

No need for high-heat insulation or specialized ventilation makes these a great fit for urban homes, basements, and condos

*

You want plug-and-play simplicity:

Infrared saunas are often quieter, quicker to start, and require less maintenance over time

*

You're focused on energy savings:

Infrared panels consume less electricity and typically cost less to operate long term

Our team helps you choose the right configuration and features for your goals—whether you're planning a small one-person infrared cabin or a multi-seat commercial wellness lounge.
