At a glance
How infrared heat delivers therapeutic benefits at lower temperatures
Infrared saunas use ceramic or carbon heaters to emit radiant energy that warms the body directly rather than heating ambient air. This approach allows therapeutic effects at temperatures 35 to 40 degrees lower than traditional Finnish saunas, reducing cardiovascular strain while maintaining deep-tissue penetration. Research in Mayo Clinic Proceedings indicates that three to four sauna sessions per week deliver the greatest cardiovascular benefit, a frequency more sustainable when sessions remain comfortable and accessible. The lower operating temperature also reduces energy consumption, with Gravity Wellness infrared models costing under one pound per session at current UK electricity rates.
Every Gravity Wellness infrared cabin features Canadian hemlock construction with a lifespan of 15 to 20 years in UK conditions. The timber arrives kiln-dried and pre-finished, with tongue-and-groove panels that interlock without gaps or thermal bridges. All electrical components meet UK safety standards and connect via standard plug, allowing relocation if you move house. Cabins arrive flat-packed with numbered components and illustrated assembly instructions, with most models requiring four to six hours for two-person assembly without specialist tools.
Standard UK plug connection included

Practical guidance for Home Counties infrared sauna buyers
Space planning should account for cabin footprint plus 10 to 15 centimetres clearance on all sides for airflow and panel access. One-person infrared models typically require 100 by 100 centimetres of floor space, while two-person cabins need approximately 120 by 105 centimetres. Ceiling height must accommodate cabin height plus ventilation gap, usually 200 centimetres total. Indoor installation requires a room with standard domestic ventilation and a nearby 13-amp socket; bathrooms are suitable if electrical outlets meet UK water-proximity regulations. Outdoor installation requires weatherproof housing or gazebo, with electrical supply run from the main property. Floor surface should be level, load-bearing and moisture-resistant; ceramic tile, vinyl and sealed concrete all work well.
Home Counties properties often feature period architecture with non-standard doorways and ceiling heights. Gravity Wellness cabins arrive flat-packed with panels narrow enough to navigate typical UK staircases and doorframes, allowing upstairs installation where floor loading permits. Assembly requires basic tools and two adults, with most infrared models completed in four to six hours. Electrical connection is plug-and-use with no Part P certification required, though buyers should verify socket location meets manufacturer clearance recommendations before delivery.
