2 Person Sauna - Things to Consider Before Buying
Having a sauna at home would have been seen as a luxury until recently. Now there are affordable options where you can buy 2 person saunas that will take up little room in the house, but will give you all the benefits of a luxury sauna.
Buying tips
Steam or infrared - One of the most basic choices that you need to make is whether you will opt for a traditional steam or a more modern infrared sauna. This is a matter for personal preference. The more popular option for home use is the infrared models. These has the benefit that you can run them at a lower temperature. This makes a huge difference to the running costs of the unit. The time to get up to a suitable working temperature is also shorter.
Ease of Assembly
How handy are you at putting things together? You have the option of buying some sauna plans and making the sauna yourself from scratch. This would suit an accomplished DIY'er. The opposite end of the scale is to get a sauna company in that will install the sauna completely and make sure that it is all working correctly. This is the most expensive option. A third option that many people take is to buy a kit that can be assembled at home. All you need to do is bolt the prefabricated units together. Just make sure that you choose the option that is best suited to your skills.
Space
The main issue that people have with a sauna purchase is the space that it will take up. Make sure that you accurately map out the size of the intended sauna on your floor. Remember to take into consideration the opening of the door. You can purchase 2 person saunas that have a very small footprint.
Electricity Supply
Check whether the sauna you intend to purchase will have a 120 or 240V heater. There should be an electric socket close to were you are intending to site the sauna and ideally it should be on a dedicated circuit due to the power that is required for the heater.
