Health benefits of infrared saunas
The long wave infrared occurs just below “infra” to red light as the next lowest energy band. This level of light is not visible to the human eye, but we can feel this type of light as heat.

Dual Saunas in Canada:
Traditional + Infrared
A Saunacore dual sauna gives Canadian homeowners
a hybrid sauna that combines a traditional hot-rock heater
with INFRA-CORE™ ceramic emitters in one room,
so you can run traditional heat, infrared heat, or both.
Are you undecided between a traditional high-heat sauna and an Infrared sauna? Choose Our Dual Sauna
Each hybrid dual heat sauna is built around your space, layout and heat preference, so you’re not locked into one type of session. Choose a standard size or request a custom design for a home, cottage or dedicated wellness space.
- Traditional sauna heater, rocks and controls
- INFRA-CORE™ ceramic infrared emitters
- Pre-built modular construction
- Cedar or poplar options
- Custom sizes and front-wall designs
Choose Traditional Heat, Infrared Heat or Both
Traditional mode – electric heater and stones for a classic, high-heat Finnish-style session.
Infrared mode – INFRA-CORE™ ceramic emitters for radiant heat at a lower room temperature.
Dual heat mode – run both systems together for the full traditional and infrared sauna combo.
Households with different heat preferences can switch modes between sessions instead of choosing one system for everyone. Want infrared or traditional heat only? Compare traditional saunas and infrared saunas, or see how the two stack up in Dual vs. Traditional Sauna: Which Custom System Fits You?

Get Your Sizing and Electrical Requirements Confirmed
A dual sauna runs separate traditional and infrared components, so most installations need two dedicated electrical lines. Send your available width, depth and ceiling height, indoor or outdoor location, and expected number of users, and Saunacore will confirm a standard or custom layout along with the electrical specs your electrician needs to sign off on before delivery and assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dual Saunas
What is a dual or hybrid sauna?
A dual sauna combines a traditional hot-rock heater with INFRA-CORE™ ceramic infrared emitters inside one room. You choose traditional heat, infrared heat, or run both together in a single hybrid dual heat sauna session, without needing two separate rooms or two separate builds.
Can infrared and traditional heat run at the same time?
Yes. Every Saunacore dual sauna is built to support traditional heat, infrared heat, or both systems running together in dual heat mode. Your installer sets up the controls based on the specific heater and emitter package selected for your hybrid sauna, so switching modes is simple.
Does a dual sauna need separate electrical connections?
Most dual saunas run on two dedicated electrical lines, since the traditional heater and INFRA-CORE™ emitters are separate systems with different power requirements. A licensed electrician should confirm the exact voltage and amperage needed for your finished heater and emitter package before installation begins.
Can a hybrid sauna be installed outdoors?
Yes. An outdoor hybrid sauna can be built into a properly designed structure with weatherproofing, roofing and correctly planned electrical work for your climate. Saunacore will help confirm the enclosure, insulation and installation details so the hybrid sauna performs well in an outdoor setting year-round.
How much does a custom dual sauna cost?
Pricing depends on room size, wood choice, front-wall design, heater capacity, controls and any upgrades you select. Send Saunacore your measurements, preferred location and expected number of users, and you’ll receive a project-specific quote for your custom dual sauna before any work is scheduled.
