Relax in a Steam Shower

Muscles unwind, stiffness and fatigue melt away. Experience the health-giving benefits of warm steam.

Steam showers are becoming increasingly popular for home installation. Thanks to recent developments in steam generator technology it can be installed in almost any residential bathroom.

A steam bath is sometimes called a steam sauna but a sauna is actually a different type of bath. A Finnish sauna produces a dry heat and is much hotter than a steam bath. Saunas are usually heated between 70 and 100 degrees Celsius (158 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit). Steam is produced in a sauna by pouring water over hot rocks, but usually the air is quite dry -- around 20% humidity as compared to 100% humidity in a steam bath.

You will feel relaxed, revitalized, refreshed and renewed.

Many people would like to have a steam shower installed in their house but are concerned about the build-up of humidity. If you have a fairly modern bathroom with an enclosed shower stall, you can easily install one without any concerns about excess humidity.

The steam shower has to be an enclosed unit to contain the moisture and to allow it to drain off. If you don't have an enclosed shower stall or bathtub, existing bathtubs can be modified to accommodate one. If you have a large bathroom, the other alternative is to install a separate steam shower.

Imagine stepping into your own steam room & relaxing in the warm, soothing steam.

Since a home steam shower is so relaxing you will likely spend more time there than in a normal shower. This means there should be some kind of seating arrangement. The steam heads should be installed away from the seating area so that the possibility of being scalded with the hot steam is reduced.

All of this installation work requires specialized plumbing and electrical skills. Before making the decision to install a shower steam room in your house, consult with both a plumber and an electrician to see if it is feasible. They will also be able to give you an estimate of the cost involved.
