The Kiruna 2 seats two in a 42 by 51 inch footprint, stands 78 inches tall, and runs on a 120V 15 amp circuit. For anyone who has assumed a home sauna requires a dedicated room and a service upgrade, this cabin changes the math.
Fifteen amps is the detail worth noting. The Kiruna 2 draws less than models requiring 20 amps, which means a standard household circuit can handle it. Tylö still recommends a dedicated circuit so the breaker is not shared with anything else, but that is a minor electrical job rather than new service. Combine that with the 78 inch height and 42 inch depth and you have a cabin that fits where larger saunas cannot: a basement corner, a spare bedroom, a finished garage, a wide hallway alcove.
CarbonFlex panels warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you. The room stays cooler, the session stays comfortable longer, and you start feeling the effect within about 10 to 15 minutes without waiting for the cabin to reach peak temperature. The panels use low-EMR and low-EF technology, which addresses the electromagnetic field question most people run into while researching infrared. Many owners find this style easier to use several times a week than high-heat traditional sauna.
Never spray water on infrared emitters, since that causes damage and voids the warranty. Infrared cabins are a dry heat experience, so there are no rocks and no steam. If you want the option of both, ask about the Kiruna Hybrid 2, which pairs infrared panels with a traditional rock heater in the same footprint.
Infrared saunas are difficult to evaluate on paper. Visit our Madison or Brookfield showroom, spend 15 minutes inside, and judge it yourself. We can also walk you through the other 2 person saunas we carry so you can compare heat types side by side.
