When infrared saunas came on the market, Roger knew the theory behind the infrared sauna was good, but with his knowledge pertaining to heat transfer and environments conducive for microbial viability, the the use of porous wood surfaces with lower temperatures in an infrared sauna was deeply flawed.

The advantage of an infrared sauna is that it operates at a lower temperature, allowing the user to be in the sauna much longer than in a traditional sauna. This allows the infrared heat the time necessary to penetrate into the muscle.

Unfortunately, at temperatures of 130° to 140 degrees F., an infrared sauna with wood surfaces is an incubator for microbial growth.

Infrared radiant heat provides therapy to only the parts of the body it contacts, therefore, sitting on a wood bench reduces the therapeutic benefits.

To create lower temperatures in an infrared sauna, it is best to use a material that has a low emissivity, such as polished stainless steel, which is also appealing and easy to sterilize.

The Infra Spa solves all of the problems associated with wood infrared saunas and creates an incredible experienc
