Things you should know when buying a Steam Shower
Turn your bathroom into a true spa experience with an enclosed steam shower and some well
chosen accessories.
Not so long ago, anyone who wanted to enjoy the relaxation and health-promoting benefits of a
real steam shower had to go to an upscale gym or spa. Today, however, a growing number of
homeowners are choosing to install one of the new generation of steam showers at home,
creating a warm mini-retreat in their own bathrooms. Home steam showers are fully sealed
enclosures that can be installed anywhere you would put in a conventional bathtub or shower.
They produce a heated mist using a humidifying steam generator, and offer controls on a wall
panel inside the shower that allow you to adjust the temperature and flow of the steam.
Because steam showers are sealed, the heat and moisture won’t damage the paint, paper or
walls of a bathroom. This also means that no venting is required; as the sealed steam shower
cools down, the condensed moisture simply drains away into the floor of the unit. The health
benefits of steam showers are well documented. For years, doctors have recommended as a
home remedy that patients suffering from congestion, sore throats and sinus problems close the
door to their bathrooms and run a hot shower. This allows the steam to fill the room, clearing
allergens and loosening airways. But an enclosed steam shower offers a much more effective and
pleasant way for homeowners to get the same soothing results.
Dermatologists also recommend steam treatments as a great way to open pores, release toxins
and enhance circulation to the skin, creating a healthy glow. Additionally, steam showers are often
used as part of physical therapy regimens for athletes and others dealing with injuries and pain.
The moist heat increases blood flow to affected areas, speeding healing. And another increasingly
popular addition is the use of aromatherapy oils specially formulated for enjoyment in modern
home steam showers.
One important note is that pregnant women and those with high blood pressure, diabetes or
heart problems should always consult their doctor or midwife before stepping into the steam.
Today, steam showers exist to fit just about any size bathroom, and most double as conventional
showers as well, but they don’t come cheap. While few steam showers require any plumbing
upgrades, cost for purchase and installation ranges from $2,000 all the way up to $11,000
depending on options and upgrades. While purchase and installation can require some initial
investment, steam showers offer a relatively energy and cost-efficient way to bring luxury and
relaxation into the home bathroom.
For starters, they don’t use a significant amount of water. Compared to whirlpool tubs, for example,
homeowners can get a year’s worth of steam showers using the same amount of water as only
two or three single fill-ups of a hot tub. As for electrical use, the average steam shower costs only
between 20 -25 cents per hour to operate. Steam showers can be purchased as all in one
modular units, with a variety of bundled option packages, or homeowners can build their own
custom unit by mixing and matching special features. In some cases, existing showers can be
converted to steam by sealing the unit and adding desired features.
RÕMÃNNTM Steam Showers use 220 Volt hookups and are rated at 32 Amps.
The most popular steam shower options include:
Inside Seating:
This allows homeowners to kick back and relax in the mist after a long day rather than
remaining on their feet. A tilt-up steam shower seat is both attractive and functional, allowing it
to be pulled down for use and stored flat when not in use in even the smallest steam shower.
Overhead Rain Showers:
More than just a traditional showerhead, these oversized, pressurized showerheads offer a
true "rainforest" full-body shower experience that can add an extra touch to a steam shower.
They are also a great way to cool down after a steamy heat-up.
Shower Panels and Body Jets:
These horizontal panels can be placed at various heights inside the steam shower for a full
body massage with jets of pulsating water, used during or after the steam gets going. This
option turns the traditional overhead shower experience into an all-over water massage treat.
Ambiance Options:
These ultimate luxuries can include mood lighting, built-in speakers and even a hands-free
telephone or CD hookups so that you can listen to your favorites while using your steam
shower.
Aromatherapy:
These additional fragrances can be added to the steam generation unit before starting the
steam function on your new unit. They come in a wide variety of fragrances and will invigorate
your soul and permeate the skin to produce the most memorable of experiences. No steam
shower experience is complete without.
