Steam Room In Your Home

By Tracy Kerr-Walshe

At one time, if your health and fitness routine included a session in a steam room, then you had to take a trip to the fitness club or gym. However, due to modern technology you can now enjoy the benefits of a steam bath in your own home. The latest trend in bathroom designs shows how you can actually install one in your home and reap the benefits without ever stepping out the front door.

The cost of installing one of the many designs in home saunas could run as high as $10,000. Over time, features have been improved and costs have gone down. The free standing steam shower introduced about 4 or 5 years ago is responsible for making these products available to homeowners at a much lower cost, which of course, increases their popularity.

A Steam Shower And Steam Room In Upscale Guest Rooms

Many of the more upscale condos and hotels have taken their cue from the current trend in bathroom designs by installing a steam shower or steam room built into the upscale guest rooms. Since homeowners have started installing them they have become more commonplace and hotel owners feel that providing the same type of amenities will make their guests feel more comfortable during their stay.

A modular steam shower is popular for many reasons, including how easy they are to install. A typical shower takes approximately four to five hours to be installed. They use existing drainage and water lines making them perfect for installing in pretty much any type of application.

Different Models, Types And Sizes

Another trait that makes steam rooms so attractive to people is the fact that there are several different models, types and sizes from which to choose, from the traditional white acrylic to a more modern glass unit, for example. There are also several different features offered, so you are sure to find one that meets all of your requirements and expectations.

If you were to review your options and build a custom steam shower room with body jets, therapy lighting, sound system and ozone sterilization, then it would probably cost well over $15,000. Perhaps the only downfall to installing a steam powered room is if you only have one full bathroom.

Having a half-bath or three quarter bath as the only other bathroom may decrease the property value. Some manufacturers have solved that problem by designing a steam shower and whirlpool bathtub combination, allowing the homeowner to keep at least one full bathroom.

Ideal Way To Relax After A Long Day

Whether your personal preference is a home sauna room or a steam room, both are considered an ideal way to relax after a long day. The health benefits include profuse sweating that allows toxins to be carried out of the body. You are likely to burn anywhere from 300 to 600 calories in a single 20 minute session.

It will also increase your heart rate, which will give you the same feeling as having completed a high energy cardiac workout. As well, the dry heat from the sauna and the profuse sweating will not put any undue stress on your body.

Did You Know This About Saunas?

Are there different styles of saunas?
The styles of saunas differ mainly in how the heat is used. If there is a direct heat source in the sauna, it produces less humidity so water is poured over the heated rocks or stones. In more modern saunas, the heat is pumped in and the humidity is controlled through electronic controls. The sauna may be a separate building or it may be part of a larger building which also houses a pool and a Jacuzzi.
