Finnleo InfraSauna Series FAQs
What is a Finnleo InfraSauna?
A Finnleo InfraSauna combines CarbonFlex far-infrared emitters with a Finnish-built traditional sauna heater, providing two sauna experiences within one indoor cabin.
How is an InfraSauna different from a standard infrared sauna?
A standard infrared sauna relies exclusively on infrared emitters. An InfraSauna adds a traditional Finnish heater, giving customers greater flexibility in temperature, humidity, and overall bathing style.
How many people can the InfraSaunas accommodate?
The IS440 accommodates up to two people. The larger IS565 accommodates up to five seated users or provides room for two people to lie down.
What electrical connection does the IS440 require?
The IS440 operates on a 120-volt plug-in connection. It is available in 15-amp, 1,800-watt and 20-amp, 2,400-watt configurations.
What electrical connection does the IS565 require?
The IS565 requires a 240-volt, 30-amp, single-phase hardwired connection. Its Designer SL2 heater and infrared system provide 6,000 watts of power.
Can a Finnleo InfraSauna be installed outdoors?
No. The IS440 and IS565 are designed for indoor installation. The installation area should remain dry and meet the required electrical and clearance specifications.
What installation clearances are required?
Both models require three inches of clearance along the sides and five inches overhead. A minimum ceiling height of 85 inches is required for assembly.
What type of wood is used?
Finnleo InfraSaunas feature Clear Canadian Hemlock on both the interior and exterior. Hemlock provides a clean appearance and remains comfortable in a heated sauna environment.
What comfort and technology features are included?
Standard features include an SL2-IS control with Wi-Fi capability, optional mobile-app control, Bluetooth audio with heat-resistant speakers, six-color chroma-therapy lighting, an all-glass door, a full-sized calf emitter, and water-resistant flooring.
What warranty coverage is included?
Both models include five-year coverage for the infrared emitters, wood cabinet, and controls. Warranty terms should be confirmed with the dealer at the time of purchase.
Sauna Safety Tips
Saunas can be a relaxing and beneficial part of a wellness routine, but it is important to use them safely. Start with shorter sessions, especially if you are new to sauna use, and limit most sessions to about 15–20 minutes. Drink plenty of water before and after using the sauna, and avoid alcohol before, during, or immediately after your session, since heat and sweating can increase the risk of dehydration or dizziness. Always cool down gradually after exiting the sauna, and leave right away if you feel lightheaded, nauseous, weak, or uncomfortable. People who are pregnant, have heart conditions, low or high blood pressure, or other medical concerns should speak with a healthcare provider before using a sauna.

Best Sauna for Idaho Homes: Indoor vs. Outdoor Buyer's Guide
A sauna is one of the most rewarding wellness additions you can make to an Idaho home — and after a day on the slopes or a cold morning, that deep heat feels even better. But first you face a fundamental choice: indoor or outdoor? That single decision shapes everything — placement, install cost, how it handles Idaho's freeze-thaw winters, and the whole ritual of using it. This buyer's guide compares indoor and outdoor saunas head to head, breaks down traditional vs. infrared (and the Finnleo InfraSauna hybrid), covers heaters and sizing, and explains why Finnleo and Tylö's Finnish-Swedish heritage — including Tylö's world-class heaters — makes them built to last through every Idaho winter.
Can You Lose Weight by Using a Sauna?
Two landmark Finnish studies — following over 16,000 participants for up to 39 years — found that regular sauna use is associated with dramatically lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This guide breaks down what the research actually says, explains the six biological mechanisms that make sauna bathing protective for the brain, and shows you how to incorporate sauna use into a brain-healthy lifestyle.
Infrared Vs Traditional Saunas: What's the Difference?
They both make you sweat — but the way they deliver heat is fundamentally different. Traditional saunas heat the air to 170–195°F and have 20+ years of research linking regular use to lower cardiovascular mortality and dementia risk. Infrared saunas heat your body directly at 120–150°F and have the strongest evidence for chronic pain relief and accessibility. This guide compares both types side by side — how they work, how they feel, health benefits, installation, costs, and a decision framework to help you choose.
