Here's How You Can Calculate A Home Steam Room’s Installation Cost


If you happen to be a health and wellness enthusiast, you might well have considered a steam room installation right in your home. 

And you aren’t alone in envisaging such a project as almost everyone thinks about undertaking a steam shower installation. 

But there’s a catch. 

The very idea that a steam sauna bath isn’t affordable prevents people from planning it out and installing it in their homes. 

However, what if we told you that a steam bath is actually quite cost-efficient? 

If Forbes magazine estimates are to be believed, you can buy a prefabricated steam room for your home for well over $1000. 

Now, that’s very affordable indeed, isn’t it? 

How to estimate the price of installing a steam room in your home?

Well, it is true that steam rooms, more so the residential ones, aren’t too costly. Nonetheless, when installing one such facility in your home, you can’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Meaning, for different steam sauna installations there will be different costs as well. 

Generally, there are two factors that play a critical role in deciding the price of your steam shower, and they are the quantity of materials used and installation labor. 

So the bigger the area of your steam shower and the longer it takes to install it, the higher you should estimate to pay. . 

Also, there’s another important price determinant for home steam rooms, and that is the type material you use to build shower walls. 

For instance, if you have shower walls that are made of porous materials, you’ll inevitably need a high capacity steam generator, which will increase the overall cost. 

In the same way, if you have your shower space built with non-porous materials, you can have optimum heating and steam generation even on a small-sized steam generator. 

The final word 

You see, having a steam room in your home doesn’t necessarily break the bank. 

Not to forget the fact that steam room installation projects are DIY-friendly as well. And that means you can undertake a DIY steam room project hassle-free. 

Impressive, right?
