Infrared cabins for apartments and small villas

What it is and is not

Infrared heats you rather than the room: 45-60 °C, 1.5 to 2.5 kW from an ordinary socket, ready in twelve to fifteen minutes. No water on stones, no löyly.

What it gives you on this island is a room with no cyclone anchorage question, no drainage, no supply upgrade and no fixed alteration to a building you may not own.

Humidity and electronics

The one thing an infrared cabin does not love is being left in a damp closed room for months. We site them in ventilated spaces, specify a cover for seasonal properties, and include them in the shutdown routine.

Panels are full-spectrum carbon with low-EMF wiring, and the spec sheet is available before you buy anything infrared from anyone.

Where it goes

The end of a bedroom, a wide corridor, or a covered terrace with a roof and a sheltered socket. Not open to salt air, and not in a room that is closed and unventilated for half the year.

In short

  • Ordinary 230 V socket, 1.5–2.5 kW, ready in 12–15 minutes
  • No anchorage, no drainage, no supply upgrade, no fixed alteration
  • Covered and included in the shutdown routine on seasonal properties
  • Full-spectrum carbon panels, low-EMF wiring spec available
Questions

Infrared cabins in Mauritius

Can it live on a terrace?

Covered, with a sheltered socket, yes. Open to salt air, no — the electronics will not thank you.

Is it suitable for a rental villa?

It is the obvious answer: nothing is fixed to the building and it moves when you do.

What does a session cost?

About 1.3 kWh for forty minutes. Closer to a kettle than an air conditioner.
