Hanscraft Barrel 225 Wooden Back 2 Person Outdoor Sauna

Running costs depend on the type of sauna:

• 
  Infrared sauna: typically £0.30 – £0.80 per session
  
• 
  Traditional sauna: typically £1 – £3 per session
  

Infrared is more energy efficient, while traditional saunas use more power due to higher heat levels.

The main difference is how they heat:

• 
  Infrared saunas heat your body directly at lower temperatures (around 40–60°C)
  
• 
  Traditional saunas heat the air to higher temperatures (70–100°C), often with steam
  

👉 Infrared = gentler, longer sessions

👉 Traditional = hotter, more intense experience

Both are great — it depends on preference:

• 
  Infrared is ideal for ease, efficiency, and everyday use
  
• 
  Traditional is better if you want a more authentic, high-heat sauna experience

Infrared: around 10–20 minutes

Traditional: around 30–45 minutes

• Most infrared saunas run on a standard 13amp plug
  
• 
  Traditional saunas usually require a higher power supply (often 32amp)
