Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between traditional and infrared saunas?
Traditional saunas heat the cabin air and stones to create high ambient temperatures and steam (with water ladled on stones). Infrared saunas warm the body directly with radiant heat at lower air temperatures for a gentler feel.
How long does a GDI sauna take to heat up?
Infrared models typically feel ready within 10–20 minutes. Traditional units often reach target temperature within 25–40 minutes depending on room size and ventilation.
Do GDI saunas have low EMF?
Yes—GDI infrared panels are engineered for low EMF/ELF output while maintaining efficient radiant heat delivery.
Can I install a GDI sauna myself?
Most models arrive in pre-fabricated panels with tool-light assembly. Two adults can usually assemble and place the unit; electrical hookup must follow local code.
Which size should I choose?
Match capacity to users (e.g., 1–2, 2–3, 3–4+), available space, and door swing. Corner units save space; outdoor models are weather-ready.
What maintenance is required?
Wipe benches and walls after sessions, leave the door open to air out, and periodically inspect heaters, wiring, and seals. Replace carbon filters or bulbs only if your model uses them.
What heating options does GDI offer?
GDI offers traditional steam heaters, far infrared panels, full spectrum infrared, and hybrid models that combine both traditional and infrared heating.
Are GDI saunas suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, GDI offers dedicated outdoor models with weatherproof construction, insulated panels, and durable roofing systems designed for patio and backyard placement.
What wood types are used in GDI saunas?
GDI uses premium Canadian Hemlock and Canadian Red Cedar, both known for their durability, pleasant aroma, and resistance to warping in heat and moisture.
Do GDI saunas come with chromotherapy?
Many GDI models include chromotherapy (color light therapy) as a standard or optional feature, allowing you to enhance your sauna sessions with mood lighting.
What warranty coverage does GDI provide?
GDI provides manufacturer warranty coverage on structure and components; terms vary by model. Check individual product pages or contact us for specific warranty details.
Can I add audio systems to my GDI sauna?
Many GDI models include Bluetooth audio systems as standard or optional features, allowing you to enjoy music or podcasts during your sauna sessions.
After each session, wipe benches and walls with a damp cloth and prop the door open to ventilate. Inspect heaters, stones (traditional), and electrical connections per the manual. GDI provides manufacturer warranty coverage on structure and components; terms vary by model. Freight delivery and optional white-glove placement are available.
