What the heat type choices mean
These are the three main heat categories used in the Fit Finder. The right answer depends on where the sauna will go, how hot you want the room to feel, and how much installation planning you are comfortable with.
Traditional steam sauna
Traditional saunas heat the room air with a sauna heater, often with stones that can create bursts of steam. This is the classic high-heat sauna feel and is common for outdoor setups.
Hybrid sauna
Hybrid saunas combine infrared heat with a traditional heater, giving one room more flexibility. They make the most sense when a household wants both heat styles.
