Sun Stream Pricing

Aside from the obvious aesthetic design, there are 2 key differences between the Evolve and Supreme saunas, for example:

• The Evolve 20 EHS is 2060 watts vs the Supreme 2 EHS at 1850 watts. The extra power in the Evolve 20 is due to the large 330 watt heater installed on the door.
• The Evolve 20 includes LED Chromotherapy, whereas the Supreme 2 does not, however it can be added on for an additional $295.

What’s the difference between the Evolve Mini EHS and the Evolve 10 EHS?

• The Evolve Mini is constructed from Canadian Hemlock whereas the Evolve 10 EHS is Constructed from Hardwood Basswood a more expensive timber. Hemlock is widely used in the sauna industry and backed by our lifetime warranty.
• The Evolve Mini is smaller than the Evolve 10 and does not include Chromotherapy.
• The Evolve Mini has 2 x quality sound speakers, whereas the Evolve 10 has brand name Kenwood speakers.

Yes, all our saunas use a keyhole fixing system where the panels simply slot together to create a solid connection. Installation takes about 30-90 minutes for two people depending on the model purchased.

For more information view our installations manuals on our easy assembly page by clicking here.

Yes all of our models can be used outdoors, however good protection from direct rainfall is required, for example the Sauna must be located on a flat level hard surface, with full protection from direct rainfall, snow deposits, trees, shrubs and soil. The Sauna will also need to be protected by one of our Brisbane made canvas sun covers. Saunas placed outside without a cover are not covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

Our Covers are produced by Coverworld Australia and come with 7 Year Warranty!

A typical sauna session including heating time won’t exceed one hour. The following running costs are based on $0.25/kWh tariff from your electricity supplier:

WESTERN RED CEDAR

There is no question about the fact that Canadian Western Red Cedar is a beautiful timber, however when it comes to choosing the best timber for our health and wellness, it’s best to avoid cedar because it ranks as one of the worst timbers for Allergies and Toxicity.

Source material below is from the Wood Data Base.

Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Western Redcedar has been reported as a sensitizer. Usually most common reactions include eye, skin, and respiratory irritation, as well as runny nose, asthma-like symptoms, and nervous system effects. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity for more information.

BASSWOOD

By contrast hardwood Basswood is a hypoallergenic timber making it the perfect choice to aid us in achieving our health goals without any nasty side effects:

Allergies/Toxicity: Besides the standard health risks associated with any type of wood dust, no further health reactions have been associated with Basswood.

It’s important to remember that Near Infrared & Red Light Therapy employs light, while infrared saunas employ heat. Both technologies deliver therapeutic benefits, but they do so in ways that are completely different to one another—yet also potentially complementary. Therefore we do not recommend installing the LED Light panels inside your sauna for 2 important reasons:

• Light Therapy becomes less effective if our body is covered in a layer of sweat, so for best results use your Light Therapy device prior to sweating in the sauna or as a stand alone treatment.
• Since your cells can only absorb a limited amount of light, treatment times are significantly shorter than your average sauna session, so use your Light Therapy device while the sauna is warming up.

Hang your Light Therapy panel on the sauna wall, on a door, or on a wheeled rack stand from Platinum LED.

So called ‘Full Spectrum’ and ‘Near Infrared’ Saunas DO NOT meet the criteria for Photobiomodulation, as they provide very little energy at the specific required wavelengths in the 600nm and/or 800nm range!

Prominent sauna companies have added incandescent devices including simple heat lamp bulbs or halogen tube heaters to their Far Infrared saunas. These emit only small quantities of Near Infrared and do so over the entire range of Near Infrared 780nm – 1400nm.

These devices are also too hot and therefore our skin cannot be placed close enough to absorb any of the light.

Lasers and LEDs on the other hand are capable of producing the single frequency wavelengths for therapy and can be comfortably positioned close enough to the body, even pressed right into our skin, to ensure the delivery of therapeutic levels of light energy.

Far infrared saunas produce radiant heat which is absorbed by the water content or moisture in our skin (1- 4mm depth) and then drawn into deeper levels of our muscles and joints to induce a deep heavy sweat. Absorption is the key dynamic to generate heat in your body which is the primary purpose of a sauna.

In contrast Near Infrared and Red Light Therapy do not produce heat, but rather light which passes through our tissue where several biochemical reactions occur associated with cellular energy production and healing.

Red Light Therapy:

In general, the visible red light spectrum primarily benefits skin-depth ailments and cellular health. That’s part of the reason red light therapy is so popular in general; light is widely used for skin conditions, and the visible red wavelengths are ideal for that application. Skin applications only scratch the surface of the possible benefits.

Near (NIR) Light Therapy:

The near-infrared wavelengths are able to penetrate much deeper than red light, including all soft tissue, connective tissue, and bone. Most notably, these wavelengths can penetrate the skull, which allows for effective treatment of neurological disorders and deep injuries and wound healing.
