When considering installing a steam bath several options are available you can purchase a , a complete or you can construct a home steam bath room.
What to consider when building a steam bath
1. The size of the steam bath room: When considering the size of your steam bath room remember that the larger the size the longer it will take to heat up also the larger the room the larger steam bath generator you will need.
2. Construction material: The materials used to construct the steam bath will also effect the size requirements of the steam generator. Materials such as granite, stone ect will absorb the heat and reguire a larger steam generator. Materials such as ceramic tile or acrylic panels make a good choice. Wood does not make the best choice for a steam bath although they are used in saunas. The higher humidity involved with a steam bath causes the wood to absorb too much water vapor.
3. The shape of the steam bath: The main consideration in the shape of a steam bath is the ceiling. The ceiling should be at an angle or curved, this allows the condensed water vapor to run towards the sides of the steam bath room. If the ceiling was flat the condensed steam would drip on the occupants and possible cause scalding.
4. Steam bath thermostats and controllers: When building the steam bath remember to include the thermostats and controllers in the steam bath room also the steam vent. These items come with your steam bath generator purchase your steam bath generator prior to your construction.
