CarbonFlex(R) Far-Infrared Heating Technology
For Sport and Body Conditioning..Far-Infrared by Helo
Far-Infrared is perfect as a "heat therapy room" for athletes looking for a pre-workout warm-up - to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It's also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing wind-down at the end of a stress-filled day. Far-Infrared heat is also ideal for soothing sore muscles and joints after a workout.
A Saunatec Far-Infrared sauna provides soothing heat, directly radiated to the body, with almost no time waiting for preheating. The far-infrared radiant heat induces a deep sweat - for cleansing and detoxifying the body and for burning calories. Using the latest Japanese far-infrared technology. Saunatec's CarbonFlex heating panels have the largest surface area of any IR sauna heating system - providing the softest heat.
Saunatec's CarbonFlex performs better than other IR systems, with a near-perfect wavelength of 8.4 to 9.4 microns (well within the "Vital Range" of 7 to 14 microns). This optimal wavelength provides for deeper penetration of far-infrared heat - which, in turn, can enhance detoxification, cardiovascular conditioning and relief from muscle and joint aches and pains.
CarbonFlex Far-Infrared Heating Technology
Using the latest Organic Heating Panels we are able to create the largest heating surface area coverage and produce the softest heat.
Saunatec Far-Infrared Saunas are truly "The New Generation of Infrared Saunas." Using the latest and most advanced far-infrared technology from Japan CarbonFlex heating system creates a wonderfully comfortable and superbly effective heat bathing environment. Our IR saunas have the largest IR heating surface coverage - literally spanning "wall to wall" in the sauna - which in turn produces the softest heat.
One of the most common complaints about IR saunas is the uncomfortable sensation of "cold spots" in the sauna where no IR heat waves reach the body, and "hot spots" when seated directly in front of the old-style ceramic or metallic IR heaters. Due to the huge surface area of the CarbonFlex heating panels, the heat is evenly disbursed and the surface temperature of the heaters is comfortable to the bathers. More importantly, the large surface area creates the perfect IR wavelength.
To ensure soothing warm far-infrared heat "top to bottom", our infrared saunas include:
- Wall-to-wall carbon fiber heaters on back wall and sidewalls
- Side wall heaters extending all the way down to floor level
- Exclusive bench seat heaters with on/off button
- Exclusive in-floor heating systems with heated ceramic tiles
Saunatec's CarbonFlex heating system provides the best infrared technology, engineered to give you the ultimate infrared sauna experience - with enveloping, soothing heat to your entire body.
The design of our saunas and the integral CarbonFlex panels ensures better performance - well within the so-called "Vital Range" of 7 to 14 microns, with most of the wavelength within the sauna being in the 8.4 to 9.4 microns. Some Asian medical researchers suggest that this frequency causes water molecules to resonate or vibrate - which in turn can accelerate the release of toxins from the body. Whether the true medical benefits are fully understood or not, one thing becomes very clear using a Saunatec IR sauna - you perspire more quickly and more profusely (and thus get greater benefit from the sweating process) and you feel more completely heated, literally enveloped in soft, radiating heat. It's an amenity that not only feels good - it's good for you.
What is infrared and how does it work?
Infrared waves are part of the invisible Electromagnetic Spectrum (EM). The EM Spectrum is measured in microns. Infrared is often subdivided into "near IR" (0.076 to 1.5 microns, "mid IR" (1.5 to 5.6 microns) and "far IR" 5.6 to 1000 microns.
Human bodies send and receive FIR waves. The range of far-infrared waves generated by our bodies is 6 to 20 microns. The optimal micron output range is between 7 to 14 microns. This range, sometimes called the "Vital Range" appears to have special regenerative effects on our bodies.
When Far-Infrared rays are absorbed by living things (e.g. people in an IR sauna) the temperature of the body rises but not the surrounding air. Thus, you sweat and feel hot from the absorption of the IR rays, but the surrounding air remains at relatively low temperatures (typically between 115 and 135 degrees F).
