What Is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna is a low-temperature heated room that uses infrared panels to warm your body directly rather than heating the surrounding air. Traditional saunas run 150 to 195 degrees; infrared rooms operate at a milder 115 to 135 degrees while still producing a deep, penetrating warmth and a full sweat. This makes infrared ideal for longer, more comfortable sessions, and it is why so many St. Louis homeowners focused on recovery, circulation, and daily use choose infrared for their custom build.
Why St. Louis Homeowners Choose Infrared
Infrared saunas have quietly become the most-requested build in our St. Louis lineup, and the reasons are practical. The lower operating temperature means they run on standard household electrical in many cases, heat up in 10 to 15 minutes instead of 40, and cost noticeably less to operate than a traditional heater. For a busy household in Kirkwood or Chesterfield that wants a sauna they will actually use on a random Tuesday night, that convenience matters.
The experience is different too. Because infrared warms you directly, sessions feel gentler and last longer, often 30 to 45 minutes. That appeals to the recovery-minded: runners training through St. Louis summers, weekend athletes, and anyone whose joints prefer heat therapy without the intensity of a 190-degree room. We build full-spectrum infrared rooms with near, mid, and far panels, and we integrate chromotherapy LED lighting that shifts through calming colors, a signature feature clients love.
Every infrared sauna we build is a real custom room, not a plug-in cabinet shoved in a corner. We frame and finish it in cedar or hemlock, position panels for even body coverage, wire it cleanly through licensed electricians, and build it into your basement, spare room, primary suite, or home gym so it looks intentional. Bench layouts, glass fronts, sound integration, and lighting are all specified to your space during design.
Whether you want a compact two-person room for personal recovery or a larger family-sized build, infrared gives St. Louis homeowners a sauna that fits real life and gets used year-round, completely unaffected by our humid summers or freezing winters.

Infrared Sauna Projects, In Their Words
"I run half marathons and wanted something for recovery I would actually use. They built a two-person infrared room off my home gym in Kirkwood. Heats in about twelve minutes, and I use it four or five nights a week. The chromotherapy lighting is better than I expected."
"We were deciding between traditional and infrared. They walked us through the tradeoffs honestly instead of upselling, and infrared was right for us. The build in our Ballwin basement is clean, the wood is beautiful, and our electric bill barely moved."
"My wife has joint issues and traditional saunas were too intense. The infrared room they built in our Webster Groves house lets her sit for 40 minutes comfortably. Thoughtful design, panels placed exactly where they should be, and no mess left behind."
Infrared Sauna FAQ
Traditional saunas heat the air to 150 to 195 degrees, warming you from the surrounding hot air and steam. Infrared saunas use panels that warm your body directly at a milder 115 to 135 degrees. Infrared offers longer, gentler sessions, faster warm-up, and lower operating costs; traditional delivers the classic intense heat-and-steam ritual.
Most custom infrared sauna builds in the St. Louis area run between $7,000 and $18,000 depending on size, panel type, lighting, wood, and glass. Compact two-person recovery rooms sit at the lower end; larger full-spectrum family builds with premium finishes sit higher. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and line-item quote.
Often less than a traditional sauna. Many infrared rooms run on standard household circuits, though larger full-spectrum builds may need a dedicated line. We check your panel at the consultation and our licensed electricians handle any wiring to code.
Most custom infrared builds take under two weeks on site once construction begins, plus time up front for design and any permits. The lower complexity compared to traditional saunas often makes infrared one of our faster residential projects.
Chromotherapy is color-light therapy integrated into the sauna through LED panels that cycle through or hold different colors, each associated with a different mood or effect. It is a popular option in our infrared builds because the gentle, longer sessions pair naturally with an immersive lighting experience.
Absolutely. Infrared saunas are built indoors and are completely unaffected by St. Louis humidity, heat, or winter cold. Many clients use theirs daily throughout the year, for warmth in winter and post-training recovery through our hot, humid summers.
We build everything from compact one to two-person recovery rooms up to family-sized builds seating four or more. Panel count and placement scale with room size so warming stays even. We size the room to your space and how many people will realistically use it at once.
Infrared saunas are low maintenance. Wipe benches and interior surfaces with a damp cloth after use, use towels while seated to protect the wood, and keep the panels dust-free. There are no heater stones or steam systems to service. We cover the full routine at your walkthrough.
