Wellness spaces are no longer add-ons. They are core features across hotels, resorts, healthcare facilities, mixed-use developments, and private residences.

Yet, when it comes to selecting wellness products, many projects still struggle- not because of a lack of options, but because of unclear decision-making.

Where Most Wellness Projects Go Wrong

The most common mistakes don’t happen during design. They happen during product selection.

Some typical issues include:

• Choosing residential-grade products for commercial use
• Under-sizing sauna heaters or steam generators
• Selecting products without considering usage frequency
• Overlooking compatibility between core equipment and control systems
• Air Change- supply and extraction locations
• Installation by unqualified teams

These decisions often look fine on paper but create problems during operation.

Products Are Not Standalone Items

A wellness space is a system, not a collection of products.

A sauna heater must align with:

• Room volume
• Usage intensity
• Control panels and safety sensors
• Appropriate air circulation system design

A steam generator must be selected based on:

• Room structure’s material size, and ceiling height
• Water quality and drainage
• Expected daily usage and recovery time

Infrared panels differ widely depending on:

• Application (cabins, relaxation zones, therapy rooms)
• Power output and safety standards
• Installation method and ventilation

When products are selected in isolation, performance and longevity suffer.

Residential vs Commercial: A Critical Difference

One of the biggest sources of failure is applying residential logic to commercial spaces.

Commercial wellness areas demand:

• Higher-duty equipment
• Robust components built for continuous operation
• Systems designed for compliance, safety, and maintenance

What works in a private home may fail quickly in a hotel or spa environment.

The Hidden Cost of Wrong Product Choices

Incorrect product selection doesn’t just affect performance- it affects:

• Project timelines
• Maintenance costs
• Guest experience
• Long-term operational reliability

In many cases, the cost of correction far exceeds the initial savings made during procurement.

A Better Way to Approach Product Selection

Successful wellness projects start with clarity, not catalogues.

That means:

• Understanding how the space will be used
• Selecting products as part of a complete system
• Ensuring compatibility between equipment, controls, and accessories
• Planning for long-term operation, not just installation

This approach reduces risk, simplifies execution, and protects the final experience.
