Are you wondering what type of glass you should use for the windows in your infrared sauna? The type of glass you use in your sauna is important because of the heat that emanates from your sauna. Not choosing the right type of glass can cause the windows of your sauna to crack-an expensive problem we all want to avoid. Below are some benefits of using tempered glass in your sauna.

Benefits of Using a Sauna with Tempered Glass

Insulated tempered glass is usually two pieces of glass bonded together.

Thus it is thicker than your regular glass that would be used in house windows for instance.

Using tempered glass for your windows and doors is always a better choice.

  1. Tempered glass will ensure that the heat of your sauna stays within the sauna. You have the sauna to enjoy the heat and the benefits it adds to your health. How inconvenient will it be to lose all that heat from your windows?
  2. Another advantage of using tempered glass is that it is durable. Because the thickness of tempered glass is about four times stronger than regular glass. This means that, unlike regular glass, which will shatter into shards when broken, you will only notice cracks on tempered glass. You still have to be careful in making sure you have the right type of tempered glass for your sauna and that you treat it with care so you don’t have unnecessary cracks.
  3. Tempered glass can handle more stress than regular glass. Therefore it is better suited to use for the windows in your sauna.
  4. Tempered glass can add an artistic finish to the windows in your sauna.
  5. Tempered glass reduces moisture on the glass. Thus you will not have ice forming on the glass and causing cracks. This comes in handy if you live in a more temperate region. This is important because extreme differences between the temperature outside and inside your sauna can also cause your windows and doors to crack. Having the right glass that keeps the cold out and keeps the heat in-as it should.
