3 Big Things to Consider Before Installing a Steam Shower

Installing a Steam Shower

Many homeowners believe that a steam shower is both an unnecessary and indulgent purchase. Nevertheless, there are many people who want one in their bathroom because they know about the system’s health benefits. With a high-quality steam shower, you can relax your mind and your body, as well as improve your blood circulation and breathing. However, before you can enjoy using one, you need to make sure if it’s the right purchase for you.

If you’re thinking about adding a steam shower in your bathroom, you need to answer these three critical questions first. Not only will they help you choose a system that fits your property, but they’ll also help you decide whether you need one or not.

Do You Have Enough Space?

Ideally, the maximum ceiling height for most steam showers is 8 feet. If your bathroom’s ceiling is higher or is vaulted, you’ll need a higher-rated and more powerful steam generator to fill the remaining room volume. You also have to ensure that your bathroom has enough space to create an enclosed and insulated shower space. In addition, you need to know where the steam generator will be installed. Some generators can be installed anywhere within 60 feet of the steam room.

Are You Willing to Buy the Steam Shower Requirements?

In order to get the full steam shower experience, you have to make sure that you have all the necessary materials to make one. Here’s a checklist of the requirements you need:

  • An enclosed and insulated space constructed of tile, marble, or any non-porous material
  • A water-tight shower door and floor drain
  • Double-pane windows to prevent heat or cold from entering and escaping
  • Vapor sealed lighting fixtures
  • Slip-resistant flooring or anti-skid strips
  • Sloped and built-in seating for comfort or fold-up seats (to maximize the shower’s space)

Do You Have the Time and Budget?

When making big decisions such as this one, it’s crucial to consider your budget. Steam showers aren’t cheap and their prices range from $2,500 to $6,200 (excluding labor costs). You also have to think about the time it takes for the system to be delivered to your home. Most steam shower cabins are available within 5 working days. However, some built-to-order models can take 6 to 8 weeks.

If your answers are leaning towards a positive direction, then purchasing a steam shower is a great choice for your home. If you’re ready to seal the deal, the next step is to look for a company that can supply a system that suits your needs and budget.
