Steam Showers

The next big thing in bathroom décor, as the name suggests, steam showers generate steam that disperses around the user’s body for a level of relaxation that was previously only attainable in spas and saunas. A steam shower will transform showering from a mundane task into a luxurious experience that will become your favourite form of escapism.

A steam shower is essentially a simple enclosure and generally works by being sealed in order to trap moisture within the shower. To use a steam shower, simply step inside and press a button on the shower’s control panel to activate the steam generator. The steam from the boiling water will be channelled through the shower’s system, emerging through the steam head to then fill your shower with relaxation and rejuvenating steam.

Steam showers do much more than allow for a spa-like level of relaxation in your own home. They also provide several health benefits, such as helping dry skin, unblocking clogged sinuses, and relaxing stiff muscles. Adding some essential oils to your shower can introduce some aromatherapy benefits too. Once the user has enjoyed the well-being benefits of a steam shower, switching the shower to allow for a quick rinse is easy.

Once your bathroom is fully prepped to allow for the safe installation of a steam shower, it will allow for a completely secure showering experience. Steam showers are not just entirely safe, but have also been proven to provide medical benefits to those with joint issues, sports-related injuries, respiratory ailments or allergies.

Aside from the obvious of having to travel to a sauna, a steam shower brings the spa to your home and is also much smaller than a sauna or steam room. Instead of devoting an entire room to the fixture, a steam shower takes up roughly the same amount of space as a large walk-in shower. This also means that the cleaning and maintenance of a steam shower will be much easier.
