Good things come in small packages, and this corner steam shower cabin fits nicely into any bathroom. It offers many features that are sure to relax your body and mind, such as aromatherapy and chromotherapy.
The steam generator heats water to create vapor that fills the stall. The vapor can also be directed to other areas of the bath, such as the toilet or bathtub.
Size
The modern shower has been around since at least 1810 and has become a staple of many homes, bringing with it a host of health benefits. However, the steam shower cabin has taken this a step further by introducing the spa experience into your home. When purchasing a steam shower cabin there are a couple of factors to consider that are unique to this style of enclosure. The first is that the correct generator will be required to provide enough Steam Shower Cabin steam for your desired bathing experience. This will be determined by the volume of your room, construction materials and ceiling height.
Space
Shower cabins take the shower experience to a whole new level. They are available in a wide range of sizes and can accommodate one to two people depending on your preferences. They are also customizable with a variety of add-on electrical features such as mood lighting and music.
Steam rooms are confined spaces warmed with vapor and are often used at health clubs and spas. They claim to improve wellness by helping the body detoxify, relax, and reduce stress levels.
With the current state of the real estate market making it harder to move into a bigger or better home, many homeowners are turning to home improvement projects that can bring wellness benefits and an increase in property value. The addition of a steam shower is an ideal way to do just that. With careful planning and standard maintenance, a new steam shower can become an integral part of any primary bathroom.
Technology
Steam Shower Cabins are equipped with a powerful generator that converts cold water into heated vapor. This vapor is then channeled into the shower stall through a pipe. When the shower is turned on, it takes less than a minute for the steam to fill the enclosure. Homeowners can adjust the temperature and duration of the shower through digital controls. They can also add features such as mood lighting, piped-in aromas and music.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote wellness and relaxation. These oils can be dispensed through fragrance pumps or injectors within the shower. They can also be diffused through ceiling-mounted speakers. Adding these touches to the bathroom can make the space feel more luxurious and add value to the home.
Design
Unlike traditional bathing, the steam shower environment is completely encapsulated and controlled. It’s important to consider a vapor proof door for safety, flexibility & ease of entry and post-steam bath ventilation.
Wall mounted colored lighting offers a visual affect that elevates the bathing experience beyond warmth and comfort to an atmosphere of mood altering tranquility. Similar to the way fog lights help drivers see, these colored light fixtures offer a special perspective that is uniquely suited to steam showers.
For bathing comfort, the piping for a steam bath should be placed at or near the center of the ceiling in triangular-shaped units or on the back in rectangular cabins. This allows the water to fall from the ceiling, minimizing mold growth and heat loss. It also prevents the water from accumulating in corners where it could drip on bathers and cause discomfort. For added bathing comfort, the bench top should slope slightly from wall to drain.
