What are dual saunas?
Dual saunas are a combination of both the traditional sauna heater and the newer infrared sauna heaters. Purporting added benefits these saunas can be operated as traditional saunas, infrared saunas or even both at the same time.
Do you sell dual sauna units?
No, Aqualine Saunas does not sell dual saunas. The reason for this is simple: exposed electrical circuits and water do not mix. Traditional saunas produce a moist, humid atmosphere whereas infrared saunas are a dry sauna.
All infrared saunas will have some exposed circuitry or wiring, even if this is just a small amount where the wiring makes contact with the heaters.
The moisture generated when using a traditional sauna will cause the infrared components to degrade over time. While you might not notice anything wrong for around a year or so problem will start to surface, right about the time that 1 year warranty expires. Corrosion of the elements and wiring is an all too

What is emissivity?
Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit or absorb energy. Perfect emitters have an emissivity of 1, emitting 100% of incident energy. An object with an emissivity of 0.8 will absorb 80% and reflect 20% of the incident energy. Emissivity may vary with temperature and spectral response (wavelength). The hotter an object is, the more active its molecules are, and the more infrared energy it emits.
As ceramic infrared heaters are smaller than carbon panel heaters, they produce much more heat per square inch of heating surface, therefore providing more valuable infrared heat.
What’s really important is intensity
Far infrared heaters do not differ in the type of infrared they produce but do differ in the amount of infrared that they produce. Infrared heaters are made with different qualities of carbon and ceramic materials and with different manufacturing processes. There are cheaply made, poor performing heaters and there are high q

The Finnish sauna; that small (or sometimes large) pine-clad room where you shed your clothes, your cares, maybe even your inhibitions, steam up and let the sweat cleanse your pores. There’s no better place in the world to experience a Finnish sauna than in Finland itself. For Finns a sauna is not a luxury but an essential experience and integral part of their culture and it’s even better if the sauna is manufactured by Harvia, regarded as the best Finnish saunas manufacturer in the world.
That’s the reason Finns survive winters in good humour: they’ve been basking in saunas since the Ice Age and even take credit for the invention.
In a country that is so rich with sauna tradition it is inevitable that there exists an accepted etiquette to sauna bathing, along with many customs that are uniquely Finnish. Below we take a look at what it means to bathe in an authentic Finnish sauna.
The Finnish Sauna Guide:
1) Shower – Before you begin bathing you must remove your clothes and take a cleansing shower. It’s important that you are clean before entering the Finnish sauna; it helps to keep the sauna itself clean.
2) Enter the sauna – Finns traditionally enter a Finnish sauna naked. Bathing suits are normally used in public saunas.
3) Get hot – Once you’re settled in your place relax and let the heat consume your body. Keep your breathing even and relaxed allowing the pores on your skin to open and the sweat to pour out. If you want to add some moisture to the air throw some water on the stones, but remember that the resulting steam will make the air inside the Finnish sauna feel even hotter. You may want to move between the upper and lower tier benches several times, taking advantage of the difference in temperature between the two levels.
4) Rinse and repeat – When you feel like you’re ready for breaks, normally after 10-20 minutes, take a cool
