Frequently Asked Questions

How will my sauna arrive?

Due to the large size of the sauna it will arrive on a pallet, this will be a kerbside delivery so the courier will deliver this as close as they can to your front door. All of our saunas are flat packed, so this allows them to be a maneuverable size. Some of the larger boxes may be heavy so we would always recommend having 2 people when lifting or moving the items.

How does your full spectrum compare with the far infrared saunas available on the market? And is the heat in this sauna from ceramic or carbon heaters?

The full spectrum heaters are more beneficial as they offer Full, Medium and Near-infrared. You will see many companies charging £200, £400 or £500 to upgrade from Far heaters to Full Spectrum. A quick search on Google would confirm this The Vidalux Full Spectrum range uses ‘Complete Heat Technology’ with FAR carbon heaters together with quartz embedded Full-spectrum heaters

Having looked at your installation guide am I right in thinking that a registered electrician is required for installation so as to obtain a warranty ?

Most our saunas are rated under 3Kw and anyone can install one of these saunas, indeed they are designed to be quick build and any DIY'er can have the body assembled within 20 minutes. If there is a plug socket nearby, they simply plugin. UK law states that any new electric supply (feed from the mains board or ring main) is installed by a 'Part P' registered electrician. This will more than likely be part of any home insurance also. The manual refers to this, but for the actual build of most sauna's and 'plugging in', anyone can undertake this For any large sauna over 3kw (and all traditional & Hybrid models) these need hardwiring and more than likely, you will need to consult an electrician on how connecting such a product relates to your homes set-up

Does it come ready assembled or flat pack.
