I'm one of those persons who don't have space for a cabin and is look for a real FIR tent, but does not know which one to buy. Thanks to you I do have more information. But the question is still, how do I know that the panels in the tent are the real FIR. I have seen the word ceramic heating, does this make it FIR?. What makes the sauna (FIR)far infrared? When I call to place my order I want to be be able to ask the seller what type of heater or panels in the tent and understand what is being told to me.

Every heated surface produce infrared waves, so all that required for infrared sauna is an enclosure (a tent) and heaters placed inside that become hot and thus emit infrared waves. Most common heater materials used in cabin saunas are ceramic, carbon and metal (incloloy). Because of foldable nature of tent saunas, there may be other types, but the principle stays the same - every hot surface emit infrared rays. With foldable tent sauna an important issue is the safety of heaters. Make sure that heaters are certified to conform to electrical safety standards (UL, ETL, CSA for USA/Canada or CE for Europe).
