Infrared cabins

Heat for more health and well-being - Infrared cabins

Do you feel tired and exhausted and want to do something good for your body? An infrared cabin is the perfect way to relax and do something for your health. More and more people enjoy an infrared cabin in their home or garden and benefit from the soothing effect on body and mind.

Infrared cabins are also suitable for children, older people and people with circulatory problems because the temperatures are not too high. They emit even deep heat, which loosens and relaxes the muscles.

Heat is simply good for you and also contributes a lot to your mental well-being. It has long been known that heat can promote health and alleviate various ailments. Heat applications loosen the tissue, relieve pain, cleanse the body and provide deep relaxation. Regular applications also strengthen the immune system, improve metabolism and relieve back pain.

Infrared cabins can be used as often as is good for your body. The duration of treatment can be determined by you individually and is usually between 20 and 30 minutes. Before the use you should take enough liquid to yourselves.

Heating elements are attached to the walls of the infrared cabins, which emit infrared rays. The special feature of an infrared cabin is that the heat is transferred to the skin without contact. The infrared radiation is taken up thereby to 80 per cent directly by the body and only 20 per cent is delivered to the air. This means that the energy expenditure of an infrared cabin is also considerably lower than that of other wellness facilities. The heat defence mechanisms of the skin are least affected by this form of heat transfer.

WHICH RADIATOR?
With us you choose according to your needs!

AREA RADIATOR
The infrared heat generated by carbon panel radiators is considered ideal for wellness and health applications. An intense and deep heat is felt, but the radiators themselves do not get hot and can even be touched, making them ideal for children. Due to the large surface area of this radiator, a very even heat is achieved throughout the cabin. A relaxed sitting position can be maintained during the entire application. Wavelength 1-20 µm.

CERAMIC RADIATOR
Characterised by their excellent effectiveness in health and wellness applications, these radiators are also very durable. By encasing a precisely defined ceramic layer, the heat waves are filtered and provide precise infrared radiation throughout the entire service life. Wavelength 5-15 µm. The wavelength of 8 µm is considered ideal for heat conduction in the human body. Medium-high punctual intensity.

RED LIGHT EMITTER
Have the shortest wavelength and most intense infrared radiation with a wavelength of 0.8 to 8 µm. Less suitable for people with sensitive skin or children, but optimal punctual effect for back or joint complaints. Due to the high punctual heat, parts of the body can be treated in a very targeted manner, whereby the position in front of the radiator must be changed frequently. No preheating time the application starts immediately after switching on.

Zanier infrared cabins are manufactured in a strictly controlled, ISO certified production and have the latest technology. The three different radiator systems in our range have been tested at the renowned Seibersdorf Research Centre, enabling us to provide each customer with individual and optimum advice and to find the right cabin for them.

For the production of Zanier infrared cabins we use either Canadian Hemlock fir wood or red cedar wood. The knot-free, robust wood of the Hemlock fir is ideally suited for infrared cabins. It does not warp even under extreme conditions and gives off heat evenly. It is also very durable and smells wonderfully of nature. As an even higher quality alternative, we manufacture some Zanier infrared cabin models from red cedar wood. This wood has excellent moisture and temperature resistance and is very durable. Due to the essential oils it secretes, the wood is vermin-free and resistant to fungal or mould infestation. In addition, it grows very slowly and therefore offers extremely good insulation values.

Due to the noble design of our different model series, your infrared cabin fits harmoniously into modern or classically furnished living environments.

Infrared cabin - equipment and effect on health

You would like to buy an infrared cabin and would like more information about the construction, the equipment and the effect on the health. The health benefits are now undisputed. However, the prerequisite is that you use the heat to your advantage. An infrared cabin for 2 people is suitable for the home. These models are compact and can be easily integrated in a larger bathroom, but also in the basement or in a room of the outbuilding. Inform yourself about the benefits of the warming radiation and about the possible uses before you buy an infrared cabin. In addition, purchase and construction should be well planned.

Health benefits of an infrared cabin

Infrared cabins can bring a high health benefit, if you consider some things. Undisputed are the positive effects on the immune system, on diseases such as rheumatism or various inflammatory skin diseases, but also on the regulation of body weight. By staying at an ambient temperature of up to 50 degrees Celsius, the metabolism gets going. The cells expand. They can absorb a greater proportion of nutrients. This in turn fires up the work of the immune system.

Effect on the skin and on various diseases

Inflammatory skin can benefit from a regular visit to the heat booth. It regenerates and healing can begin more quickly. When you buy an infrared cabin, you have the advantage of being able to fit the visit into your daily routine very easily. Decide to buy an infrared cabin for 2 people if you want to benefit regularly from the positive effect on the skin together with your partner. You will quickly notice how well your skin regenerates. The same applies if you or your partner suffer from rheumatism. A heat cabin in your own area brings great benefits.

Infrared cabin or sauna, what are the differences?

Do you have the plan to buy an infrared cabin, you may wonder if buying a sauna is the better idea. What are the differences and which option is the right decision?
Sauna and infrared cabins differ in key ways. These are the temperature and the humidity. If you decide to buy an infrared cabin, you should be aware that you can use a maximum temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius. It does not matter whether you decide to buy an infrared cabin 2 people or a single person. The system is designed to keep the temperature constant permanently.
In a sauna, you can reach temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius or more, depending on the power of the heater. In addition, there is the difference in humidity. This is significantly higher in the sauna. The reason for this is the higher temperature and the infusion, which contributes to the humidity. As a result, you sweat more in the sauna.

Preparing for a sauna session is more time-consuming

If you buy an infrared cabin, you can use it more flexibly than a sauna. A visit to the sauna at home requires some time of preparation. You need to prepare an infusion and bring the heater to the desired temperature if you want to take a classic sauna. Infrared cabins work with electricity. You usually only need an electrical outlet and some waiting time for the interior to heat up to the desired temperature. In this respect, you have the advantage that you can use the infrared cabins much more flexible.

Infrared cabins more beneficial to health

There are some illnesses for which you should avoid visiting the sauna. High blood pressure and a past stroke, for example, are reasons why doctors advise against a visit to the sauna. This does not apply to a visit to the infrared cabin. Since the temperatures and humidity are lower, you can visit a heat cabin without hesitation if you suffer from a disease of the cardiovascular system. This is not the case with a sauna.

Types of wood for the construction of an infrared cabin

If you want to buy an infrared cabin, choosing the right type of wood is very important. You should know that not every wood is suitable for infrared cabin setup. You need a type of wood that can withstand large temperature fluctuations, as well as very high temperatures, without the fibers warping or swelling. With cedar wood you make the right choice when buying an infrared cabin. This type of wood does not produce resin and it has very strong fibres. These make the wood very resistant. It cannot swell, it does not warp and it is shrinkage-free.

Hemlock wood also suitable

An alternative to cedar is hemlock wood. This type of wood is also resin-free, which is very important when you buy an infrared cabin. In its other properties, it is similar to spruce wood, which is also very suitable for sauna construction, just like cedar wood.

Types of emitters and their effect

Different types of radiators are used in the infrared cabin. Ceramic radiators produce a very soft heat. If you buy this infrared cabin, it can be used by people with sensitive skin or children. You can use the heat cabin every day if you wish. An alternative is carbon radiators, which work in a similar way. They are long wave radiators that produce IR-B radiation.
You will be familiar with the red light radiator from the smaller red light lamp. The operation of the larger radiators in the heat cabins is similar. They produce a deeper radiation than the ceramic radiators. The heating effect is higher. However, it is recommended not to use these cabins on a daily basis. All variants are used in the infrared cabin for 2 persons, but also in the smaller and larger models.

General equipment of an infrared cabin

Infrared cabins differ in terms of their equipment. This concerns first of all the size. The classic size is an infrared cabin for 2 people. These models are very suitable for installation in the home. Alternatively, you can get small models for one person. If you want to use the infrared cabin with your family or friends, opt for a larger model that can accommodate three, four or more people.
In terms of size, an infrared cabin for 2 people is also a good choice in terms of space. These can be integrated into a larger bathroom or basement space. For larger cabins, you will usually need a room of your own. In many households, an infrared cabin is only used by 2 people. Thus, the infrared cabin for 2 people is the variant that is most in demand.

Elements of the equipment with the infrared cabin for 2 persons and with larger models

The equipment of the infrared cabin for 2 persons, but also that of cabins with other dimensions includes various elements. A central unit is the control element. When you buy an infrared cabin, you should make sure that it is easy to operate. The diffused red light creates a pleasant atmosphere in the heat cabin. It can be supplemented by other lamps.
The ionizer ensures that the air in the closed cabin is purified. When buying an infrared cabin for 2 people or for larger models, make sure that you have a high-quality air purifier. Furthermore, pay attention to the possibility of easy assembly and also disassembly, if you want to take your infrared cabin with you when you move.

What are the health benefits of an infrared cabin?

Infrared rays have a similar effect on the human body as the sun's rays. Infrared radiation is about half a natural component of the sun's natural rays. Well dosed, sun rays support the formation of vitamin D, which promotes bone health. It also has a positive effect on the skin. Inflammations and skin diseases can subside due to the effect of well-dosed sun rays. In medicine, infrared rays are used specifically for therapy, for example in skin diseases or in the treatment of mood swings and depression. The positive effect can also be achieved by visiting an infrared cabin.

Do infrared cabins influence the immune system?

If you regularly schedule visits to infrared cabins, it can have a very positive effect on your immune system. The temperature of the skin increases when you are in the infrared cabin for a period of time. The cells can work better, which in turn activates the immune system. As a result, the body can better deal with colds and viral infections. You will get through the cold season well and make an important contribution to your health. If your immune system is weakened by an illness or by taking medication, you can have a positive influence with a regular visit to the infrared cabin.

How long should you stay in an infrared cabin?

The length of stay is very important for the positive effect of the infrared cabin. A period of 25 to 30 minutes is optimal. A shorter or longer period is individually possible. If you are using an infrared cabin for the first time, the time may seem long to you. You can shorten it at first and increase it slowly. If you want to stay longer in the heat cabin and feel good, this is also possible. You know your body best. However, pay attention to your skin. If it starts to tighten or burn, it is the right time to leave the infrared cabin.

Which radiators are the best for infrared cabins?

There is a distinction between panel radiators/ceramic radiators and full spectrum radiators. Panel radiators and ceramic radiators produce a mild, very even heat that is extremely well tolerated. These radiators are a very good choice for sensitive skin types. They are also suitable for children. Full spectrum radiators represent a further development. They can imitate all forms of infrared radiation - IR-A, IR-B, IR-C. The depth effect is very high. However, you should be careful not to stress your skin too much, because full spectrum radiators work very intensively.

How often should you go into an infrared cabin?

This depends on your personal condition, but also on the type of heat cabin you have chosen. If it is a model with surface or ceramic radiators, you can use the cabin daily if time allows. If it is a model with full spectrum radiators, some caution is better. You should not visit this heat cabin more than three times a week.

What is the difference between an infrared cabin and a sauna?

The main difference between a heat cabin and a sauna is the temperature. The interior of an infrared cabin heats up to a maximum of 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Depending on the strength of the heater and the size of the sauna, temperatures of up to 110 degrees Celsius can be reached. The average sauna temperature is 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. The heater also ensures that the humidity in the sauna is quite different from that in the heat cabin. After the visit you are usually fitter and less exhausted, because the body is not so highly stressed.

Infrared cabin or sauna, which is better?

Infrared cabins provide pleasant warmth, but they put much less strain on the body than a sauna. They are therefore also suitable for people with high blood pressure and for all those for whom the temperature in a sauna is simply too high. You can relax under the infrared radiation in a pleasant way without having to endure the great heat. You will not achieve the strong sweating and the associated regeneration of the body in heat cabins due to the lower temperature and humidity. If you want this effect, you have to go to a sauna.

Which wood is suitable for infrared cabins?

For the construction of infrared heat cabins, but also for saunas, you need a wood that can withstand high temperatures without changing its texture. With soft woods, for example from the pine, this is only conditionally given. For this reason, these woods are not suitable for the construction of heat cabins. Experts rely on cedar wood for the construction of heat cabins as well as for the construction of saunas. The narrow fibres cannot absorb moisture as quickly as is the case with other woods. In addition, the wood is extremely dimensionally stable. The wood is free of resin, it is shrinkage-free and the natural material does not warp. Thus, you should, if possible, rely on cedar wood for the construction of infrared cabins.
