Differences between domestic and Commercial Saunas

A Sauna is a small room or building designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions. The

steam and high heat make the bathers perspire. Saunas are of two basic types namely conventional and Infrared Saunas. The Conventional Saunas heat the air which in turn heats the air which in turn heats the object or the person making him perspire. Infrared ones heat the object itself or rather the person.

Everyone perspires on a daily basis, however, deep sweating gives the body a myriad of benefits. This can be achieved through regular sauna bathing. The core body temperature gradually rises and this make it to sweat more than just the normal perspiration reaching the inner tissues.

Saunas though having similarities with steam rooms, it should be noted that where saunas are mainly based on a dry environment, the steam room is designed to create wetness or humidity

We can further classify into two other sub categories; commercial saunas and domestic Saunas. Commercial saunas are mainly installed in commercial public places like Gyms, Public baths, health resorts and hotels. Domestic saunas are in private homes for private uses.

Whereas there are no much differences between the two, it's important to note that the main difference is in uses and not design. Both are used for relaxation purposes but the commercial saunas are used to generate money. They are therefore made in such a way that though not impossible to find one where you can relax alone, most hold more than just one person at any one given time. They may be of different genders but it doesn't give the kind of privacy that domestic or home saunas can give.

The other difference is the fact that whereby there are professionals guiding through what is required in order to give maximum experience with saunas in commercial establishments, this is not always the case with a home Sauna. This can therefore bring deficiency in Sauna experience hence it may not serve quality intended purpose. This has to do with the temperature adjustments, amount of time spent in the Sauna and perspiration degrees. The state of heath of individuals also matters.

It's also expensive to install and run a domestic sauna because it doesn't bring any monetary yet the amount of electricity used is immense. It may not be expensive to run the commercial ones since they generate money from customers. Even installation of the same requires a sizable amount of financial input.

Commercial Saunas are relatively large compared to the home ones. Domestic saunas only serve a small amount of users. Mostly family members, relatives and maybe home staff. This means that even id design, they can be customized or personalized to fit the family's or a single person's taste. It would be unreasonable on the other hand to have a small sauna or steam room in a commercial setup since there may be many users at a single time. Customization of the same is kept at a general and professional level since it serves a varied class and type of clients.
