Home Wellness Rooms
Dedicated wellness spaces can combine an infrared sauna with fitness, stretching, recovery, or relaxation areas.
Kentucky Custom Saunas designs and installs infrared sauna rooms using radiant heat panels for homes, gyms, wellness rooms, spas, and commercial spaces throughout Kentucky.
An infrared sauna uses radiant heat panels instead of relying primarily on heated air and sauna stones. The panels are arranged around the room to create the infrared heat experience, while the interior layout, seating, wood, lighting, controls, and electrical requirements are planned around the selected system and space.
Infrared saunas are a good fit for clients who want a dedicated wellness room with radiant heat rather than the traditional heater-and-stone sauna setup.
Infrared sauna rooms can be integrated into both residential and commercial interiors when the space, electrical requirements, seating, and panel layout are planned correctly.
Dedicated wellness spaces can combine an infrared sauna with fitness, stretching, recovery, or relaxation areas.
An infrared sauna can be integrated next to a home fitness area when the room layout and electrical requirements are planned together.
Existing interior rooms may be suitable for conversion when there is enough space for seating, panel placement, access, and the selected system.
Spas, wellness studios, gyms, hotels, and similar businesses can incorporate infrared rooms as part of a broader recovery or relaxation offering.
The room should be designed around the infrared system rather than adding panels after the interior is already finished.
The process starts with the available room, the infrared system, and how the space will be used.
Tell us where the sauna will go, the approximate dimensions, and whether the project is residential or commercial.
We review dimensions, access, surrounding construction, seating needs, and electrical conditions.
Panel layout, seating, wood, glass, lighting, controls, and other room details are coordinated around the selected infrared setup.
The infrared room and system are installed according to the selected design and manufacturer requirements.
We review the finished room and go over the basic operating and care considerations for the installed system.
The biggest difference is how the heat is produced. Infrared rooms use radiant panels, while traditional saunas heat the room with a sauna heater and stones.
| Feature | Infrared Sauna | Traditional Sauna |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Source | Radiant infrared panels positioned around the room. | Sauna heater warms the air and stones. |
| Humidity | Typically a dry radiant-heat environment. | Water can be added to sauna stones for temporary humidity. |
| Room Design | Panel placement is a major part of the interior layout. | Bench height, heater placement, room volume, and airflow are central to the design. |
| Best Fit | Clients who specifically prefer the infrared heat experience. | Clients who want the classic hot-room sauna experience. |

Yes. Electrical requirements depend on the infrared system, number and type of panels, controls, lighting, and manufacturer requirements. Electrical planning should be coordinated before installation.
Pricing depends on room size, the selected infrared system, number of panels, wood and glass selections, bench layout, lighting, controls, electrical requirements, access, and the amount of custom finish work.
