Steam Shower Introduction

Benefits of a steam shower and options for home installation


First of all, what exactly is a steam shower?

Basically, it's an enclosure that merges a regular shower and steam bath into one room.

A steam shower generator is what produces the “steam“ for your shower.

(For the sake of accuracy, the "steam" is actually visible water vapor)

The generator is connected to a water line, and steam is fed into the enclosure through a steam jet. Read more here…

Benefits

For literally thousands of years, different cultures have used steam bathing for healing and stress reduction.

Well known benefits include...

  • stress reduction,
  • relief from stiff muscles and joints
  • sinus congestion relief

In a steam shower, water and steam combine to create a powerful therapeutic experience.

How You Can Own One

More and more homeowners are installing their own steam units at home.

There are basically two options for installing a steam shower.

You can either…

1. Buy a ready-made, self contained enclosure, or
2. Build your own

If you buy a home steam shower enclosure, it will include a steam shower generator and it will be built to contain steam.

You can buy a unit small enough for one or big enough to hold 2 or 3+.

If you decide you want to build a steam shower, you’ll need to hire a contractor (unless you have some serious handyman skills), buy a steam generator and a steam shower door.
