Understanding VOCs and Their Impact
2023 Dec 5th
Your well-being is our top priority, which is why we ensure that our saunas are free of VOCs. From the heaters to the materials used inside, each element is independently tested to confirm it is free from harmful substances, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With zero VOCs, our saunas provide a pristine environment for your relaxation.
It’s essential that this space supports your health by being as pure as possible. Unfortunately, some infrared sauna manufacturers use materials like plywood, particle board, or engineered wood composites to cut costs. While these materials may not be visible once the sauna is constructed, they can release harmful VOCs, including formaldehyde, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies as a probable human carcinogen.
Beyond the framing materials, inferior heaters and other components inside the sauna can also release chemicals, underscoring the importance of comprehensive testing. It’s not enough to test the heaters alone; the entire sauna must be independently verified.
We go above and beyond to ensure your safety. Our saunas are tested by a government-certified lab, and the results consistently show zero VOCs, so you can relax with confidence in a healthy space.
