What is the difference between the Ceramic Heaters and the Carbon Heaters?

Both heaters will provide the same health benefits and will do the same job. However, the heat distribution differs between the two heaters. If you are interested in using the sauna for a quick intense sweat, ceramic would be the best choice. Carbon is favored as the heat is more comfortable and makes it easier to relax in the sauna longer and will still provide an intense sweat. Carbon heaters are also more commonly used for those with a condition or disease in which the infrared can improve health and well-being.

Ceramic Heaters

Have a high emissivity (degree at which material can emit)
On average lasts about 9,000 hours
Rod shaped for optimum FIR dispersement
Made of true ceramic
Does not have a large surface area but because they are enclosed in a reflective plate the far infrared is able to target a large portion of the body
Ceramic heaters have the fastest warm up time to produce a very intense heat that will allow you to sweat within minutes

Carbon Heaters

Have a high emissivity (degree at which material can emit)
On average lasts about 18,000 hours
Made of a thin carbon plate for even heat and FIR emmission
Flexible and less fragile
Flat surface allows for a more even heat distribution
Largest flat surface area that infrared heaters offer
Low wattage carbon heaters give off a more gentle, therapeutic heat
Same health benefits as ceramic
