📏 Installation Sizing Guide
Infrared Panel Coverage:
Unlike traditional sauna heaters measured by room volume (m³), infrared panels provide localised radiant heat. Coverage depends on panel configuration and placement rather than room size.
Single Panel Coverage:
- Direct heat zone: Approximately 0.5–1.0 metres from panel surface
- Ideal for targeting specific body areas when positioned correctly
Multi-Panel Configurations:
| Configuration | Total Wattage | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 100W panels | 200W | Small 1-2 person setup |
| 100W + 150W | 250W | Compact hybrid installation |
| 2 × 100W + 300W | 500W | Medium infrared cabin |
| 4 × 100W (bench/back) | 400W | Full surround coverage |
Placement Guidelines:
- 🪑 Under-Bench Installation: Position panels beneath seating for leg and lower body coverage. Use Tylö Infra Skirting Mount Kit (sold separately) for secure mounting.
- 🧱 Side Wall Mounting: Install at back height level for upper body and back coverage. Maintain 35mm minimum clearance from adjacent walls.
- ⚠️ Avoid: Do not place directly over other heat sources, near ventilation outlets, or where panel may be obstructed or covered.
💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (UK Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)
This 100W infrared panel is remarkably efficient, consuming just 0.1 kW per hour of operation—comparable to a standard light bulb.
Annual Running Cost Estimates:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 × 45 min | 78 hrs | £2.06 |
| 🧖 Regular Use | 4 × 45 min | 156 hrs | £4.11 |
| 💆 Heavy Use | 6 × 45 min | 234 hrs | £6.17 |
Cost Calculation:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours × Price per kWh
Example (Regular Use):
0.1 kW × 156 hours × £0.2635 = £4.11 per year
Per Session Cost (45 minutes):
0.1 kW × 0.75 hrs × £0.2635 = £0.02 per session
💡 At approximately 2p per 45-minute session, infrared panels offer exceptionally low running costs compared to traditional sauna heaters.
Multi-Panel Cost Example:
For a typical 3-panel setup (2 × 100W + 1 × 150W = 350W):
| Usage Level | Annual Cost |
|---|---|
| Light Use (78 hrs) | £7.19 |
| Regular Use (156 hrs) | £14.39 |
| Heavy Use (234 hrs) | £21.58 |
⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, and current energy tariffs.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many panels do I need for my sauna? A: This depends on your desired coverage and sauna size. For a small 1-2 person infrared setup, 2-3 panels (e.g., 2 × 100W for legs, 1 × 150W for back) typically provide effective coverage. Larger spaces may require 4-6 panels for full surround heating.
Q: Can I add infrared panels to my existing traditional sauna? A: Yes! Tylö infrared panels are designed specifically for hybrid installations. They can be installed alongside traditional heaters and controlled independently or through compatible Tylö control systems for a combined sauna experience.
Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Unlike traditional saunas, infrared panels provide instant heat—there’s no warm-up time required. The radiant infrared energy begins heating your body the moment the panel is switched on.
Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: Each panel operates on standard 230V AC. For multi-panel installations, consult a qualified electrician to ensure adequate circuit capacity. Connection is made through compatible Tylö control panels.
Q: Are mounting brackets included? A: No, mounting brackets for under-bench installation are sold separately. The Tylö Infra Skirting Mount Kit is recommended for secure under-bench positioning.
