The Golden Designs Catalonia (model GDI-6880-02) is an 8-person FAR infrared sauna designed to be wheelchair accessible. It has a wide entry and an 82″ × 70″ interior that allows a wheelchair to enter, turn, and position beside the bench. It is suited to multigenerational households and accessible wellness spaces.
Twenty-Three PureTech™ Panels
The Catalonia uses 23 Dynamic PureTech™ near zero EMF FAR infrared carbon heating panels (under 2 milligauss measured 6–8 inches from the heating panels) along the walls and bench faces of the 87″ × 75″ × 87″ cabin. This provides direct panel exposure at all eight seating positions, as well as for a bather positioned on the open floor. The operating range is 118–132°F, with a maximum of 140°F.
Convertible Layout
With the benches removed, the cabin provides 82″ × 70″ of clear floor space that can be used as a heated stretching or yoga area. Golden Designs designed the model for this dual use.
Electrical Requirements
The Catalonia uses three individual 110V/20A dedicated receptacles and ships with three power supplies (consult a certified electrician). This avoids a 240V run; three dedicated circuits are the electrical requirement. The cabin ships in nine boxes at 1,130 lbs (920 lbs assembled), delivered curbside on a pallet.
Construction and Features
Natural reforested Canadian Hemlock construction, bronze tinted tempered glass, an interior ceiling galaxy star color therapy lighting system, exterior accent lighting, an interior LED control panel, and Bluetooth/MP3 audio through built-in speakers are all included.

Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Deep Detoxification and Safe Heating
Far-infrared (FIR) is the longest infrared wavelength on the light spectrum, with a range of 3000 nm to 0.1 mm. This wavelength penetrates deeply beneath the skin, warming the body from the inside out. As a powerful detoxifying agent, FIR encourages fat-based sweating, where many toxins are stored, making it especially effective for cleansing at a cellular level.
Optimal Temperature Range
These saunas are designed to operate within an ideal temperature range of 118°F to 132°F, with the capability to reach up to 140°F for users seeking higher heat.
Low EMF Standards
Our Low EMF Infrared Saunas maintain EMF levels between 6-10 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from the heating panels, offering a safe environment for regular infrared therapy sessions.
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas: Comprehensive Health Benefits
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas combine NEAR, MID, and FAR infrared wavelengths to target multiple health benefits.
- FAR Infrared: Deeply penetrates fat tissue, activating sweat glands to release toxins.
- MID Infrared: Reaches muscles and joints, boosting circulation and reducing pain.
- NEAR Infrared: Targets the skin’s surface, promoting cell health, skin renewal, and reducing inflammation.
Near Zero EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe and Effective Heating
Golden Designs’ Near Zero EMF Saunas offer a natural, low-EMF thermal experience using PureTech Near Zero EMF Heating Technology. These saunas deliver FAR infrared heat with EMF levels kept under 2 milligauss (MG) at a close range of 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels.
- Temperature Range: Ideal between 118°F and 132°F, with a max of 140°F.
- Safety: Maintains near-zero EMF exposure, prioritizing a safe environment.
Ultra Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe, Deep Heating
Dynamic Ultra Low EMF Saunas deliver a natural thermal experience with minimal EMF exposure, using PureTech Ultra Low EMF Heating Technology and FAR infrared wavelengths.
- Temperature Range: Operates ideally between 118°F and 132°F, with a maximum of 140°F.
- EMF Safety: EMF levels kept under 3 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from heating panels.
These saunas provide effective, deep-reaching heat therapy in an ultra-low EMF environment, offering a safe option for consistent infrared use.
