Starting with…


The first things that you need to do is optimize your washroom according to your steam room requirements. Make sure your washroom is sealed off from top-to-bottom to keep the steam from escaping. You might have to install a special door with gasket to keep the steam in.

Work on the floor and make sure it is drainage-ready. Keep the height of the washroom up to 8 feet. Next up, work on the walls of the bathroom and install heat-resistant tiles. For the floor, use textured tiles to avoid slipping accidents.

Now that we are done with the optimization, let’s get into the appliances.


Finding the right generator

Make sure the steam head is 6-12 inches off from the floor. Install it in an opposite direction of the seating arrangements. 


Lastly, make sure you the steam heads are cool to the touch.


The control

The control allows you to control your steam room settings. You can control the amount of steam, temperature, and a lot of other things. You can also optimize your control to access the lighting, sound system, and aromatherapy of your steam room.

Seating

Lastly, your steam room needs to have a seating arrangement because sauna sessions can last up to 45 minutes. Make sure the seat you install is both waterproof and heat resistant. If space is an issue, install a wall-mounted, flip-up seat so you can close them whenever you are done.
