Saunas are warm, welcoming retreats with many social and therapeutic benefits. Now you can enjoy
the benefits of a centuries-proven thermal therapy in the comfort and privacy of your own home with a
Cal Heat Sauna. Our saunas combine advanced engineering with distinctive innovations and styling and
are available in both indoor and outdoor configurations for your enjoyment. Regular sauna use combined
with exercise therapy can help purge the body of unwanted chemicals, solvents and toxic elements and
promote many wellness benefits.
Rejuvenate In Comfort
Just a few minutes in the warmth of your Cal Heat Sauna will soothe nerves, relieve tension and relax
tight muscles. With Cal Heat's wide selection of sauna styles, sizes, options and accessories, you can
customize the perfect sauna to meet your Home Resort and budget ideals.
Detoxify the Body
A sauna's beneficial heat enhances the body's natural detoxification process through the process of
sweating. Warmth causes capillaries to dilate and increases blood flow, which pushes the heart to pump
faster. Increased circulation allows the body to collect and flush out waste products. Sweat carries these
waste products out of the body through the pores.
Promote Weight Loss*
Studies have shown that a heat bath can burn hundreds of calories. As the body works to cool itself, the
heart rate, metabolic rate and cardiac output increase. As a result, blood circulation increases substantially,
which promotes cardiovascular conditioning.
Improve the Immune System
During a sauna session, the body's temperature increases to a feverish level. A fever is the body's natural
defense to combating bacteria and viral agents, neither of which survive well at temperatures higher than
normal body temperature. When fighting a cold, sitting in a sauna also helps to relieve nasal congestion
and minor respiratory discomforts.
Relieve Muscle & Joint Stress
Soothing heat from a sauna provides relief to stressed joints and tight muscles. As muscles are heated
and warmed, they become more flexible and limber. Exposed to high heat, the body releases endorphins,
which are the body's natural pain relieving chemicals. Increased blood circulation also delivers oxygenrich
blood to tired muscles to aid in muscle recovery.
Improve Skin Complexion
Cal Heat Saunas also aid rejuvenation of the skin for a vibrant complexion. As your body sweats, skin is
cleansed from the inside out as increased circulation draws the skin's own natural nutrients to the surface.
As the heart pumps harder, more oxygen is delivered to the skin. Regular sauna usage promotes
improved skin tone, elasticity, texture and clarity.
*Always consult your physician prior to beginning any weight loss program.
Cal Heat Saunas are designed to alleviate muscle tension, promote deep relaxation
and naturally detoxify the body using one of three types of heat: Steam, infrared or
carbon fiber.
Steam
Steam or "traditional" heating (found on our Custom and Outdoor
series) uses an electrical element to produce steam from
the combination of heated rocks and water. Rocks efficiently
store heat and provide an excellent surface for the release of
steam when water is applied. By using rocks in the entire heater,
the Cal Heat design ensures an even distribution of heat and
steam for a more comfortable and effective sauna experience.
Our steam saunas are designed to maximize airflow and to ensure
fast, effective and efficient heat distribution.
Infrared
Infrared or "Far Infrared" heating (found on our Infrared Series)
uses a wavelength of energy found in sunlight's invisible spectrum
to provide soothing heat. In an infrared sauna, the heat
passes through the skin, warms the body through molecular
vibration and promotes perspiration. Infrared saunas are generally
much cooler than steam saunas because the body absorbs
most of the wavelengths. While steam saunas regularly reach
temperatures from 140º to 190º, infrared saunas provide many
of the same health benefits of traditional steam saunas but only
raise the indoor temperature from 105º to 140º. The benefits
of an infrared sauna are felt quickly due to the relatively short
amount of time needed to preheat.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber heating (found on our Carbon Fiber Series) operates
similarly to infrared heating. In a Carbon Fiber sauna, the
wavelength is optimized to more deeply diffuse through the
skin and heat the body. The human body is made up primarily of
carbon and water, so the spectrum from a carbon fiber heater
is easier for the body to absorb. Carbon fiber heaters emit the
most even and direct deep penetrating heat, enhancing detoxification,
pain relief and increasing blood flow. Also, lower surface
temperatures of the carbon fiber heater and lower indoor
temperatures from 100º to 125º make this type of sauna both
extremely comfortable and effective.
Cal Heat Saunas are designed for ease of use and made to last. Built with quality materials and offered at
a price that can't be beat, these saunas are the best value in heat therapy today.
Gabled Roof (Outdoor Series)
Cal Heat Outdoor Saunas feature
gabled roofs that are designed
to protect your outdoor sauna
against the outside elements including
rain and moisture.
Flooring
Our vinyl flooring is highly durable,
comfortable for bare feet and extremely
low-maintenance. It can
be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Wood flooring is available on the
Custom and Outdoor Series.
Premium Woods
Our premium dry woods are ideal
for absorbing moisture and maintaining
a dry atmosphere that is
perfect for a heat session. In addition,
our woods are fragrancefree,
lightweight yet extremely
durable and hypoallergenic.
Steam Heaters (Custom & Outdoor Series)
Our heaters feature triple wall
construction and stainless steel
covers. Our rocks fill the entire
heater—providing a more intense,
even heat than other saunas.
Double-Wall Full Insulation
Our saunas provide the ultimate in
energy efficiency. Double-walled,
foam-core, full insulation ensures
that each sauna delivers optimal
thermal retention.
Paneling (Outdoor Series)
Our Outdoor series feature paneling
that is formed in overlapping
joints (or shiplaps). This technique
repels precipitation and forms a
tight, thermal-retaining shell.
Double Ventilation
Our saunas are standard-equipped
with double venting for effective air
circulation. One vent allows a flow
of fresh air and oxygen to enter the
sauna while the other vent enables
the release of excess heat.
Wavelength Heaters (Infrared & Carbon Fiber Series)
Infrared and carbon fiber panels
are located throughout to provide
even heat for each seat.
Acrylic Doors & Windows
Our saunas feature doors and
windows made of acrylic that are
stylish, lightweight, provide better
visibility and a greater breakage
resistance than glass.
Entertainment
Personalize your music choices
with your favorite soundtrack.
Speaker placement is optimized
for the best musical experience.
(Standard on the Infrared and Carbon
Fiber Series; optional on the
Custom and Outdoor Series).
Most people think of a sauna as a great way to cleanse the body through
heating - the dry heat opening the pores and helping to flush out bodily
impurities through sweat. But if you ask the Finns, who enjoy over two
thousand years of history with saunas, they'll tell you saunas offer an
even greater array of social and therapeutic enjoyment.
Combining advanced engineering and Cal Heat's distinctive innovation,
these saunas enable you to enjoy this centuries-proven thermal therapy
in the comfort and privacy of your own home - either indoors or out.

Isn't a sauna just a hot bath?
Far from it! A sauna is an insulated room
constructed from soft wood with a heater capable of bringing the
temperature to approximately 180°F. The heat causes special stones to
produce steam when water is drizzled over them. Even though steam is
produced, it is not a steam bath. The humidity is relatively dry and
comfortable, creating a relaxing atmosphere that promotes many health
benefits.
Why do saunas have rocks?
Rocks efficiently store heat and provide an
excellent surface for the release of steam when water is applied. The
Cal Spas® design ensures an even distribution of heat and steam for a
more comfortable and effective sauna experience.
Why are saunas made of wood?
A soft wood, like Cal Spas Aspen, is chosen for
its ability to absorb humidity. This keeps the atmosphere in the sauna
comfortably dry, while keeping wood surfaces cool to the touch.
Where can a sauna be installed?
Cal Heat® offers saunas in a variety of shapes
and sizes for both indoor and outdoor application. Consequently, Cal
Heat saunas can be placed just about anywhere you have space. Master
bathrooms, retreats, bonus rooms, garages, patios, decks and basements
are all ideal places to install a sauna. All you need is a waterproof
floor and a 220/240V electrical hookup for the heater. It is also a good
idea to have a shower nearby for rinsing off during and after your
sauna session. Not all saunas are intended for outdoor use. Cal Spas
recommends only the Cal Heat Extreme Outdoor™ Series Saunas for outdoor
use.
Does it cost a lot to operate a sauna?
Because Cal Heat Saunas reach operating
temperatures quickly and retain heat more efficiently, energy
consumption is relatively low. Electrical costs are often less than
$10/month when used one (1) to two (2) hours a day, three (3) times a
week.
How long will it take to have my sauna setup and running?
Depending on the model you choose, set up time
usually takes less than a few hours. Within a single day, you'll be
relaxing and enjoying the health benefits of your Cal Heat Sauna.
