More and more people are installing steam showers to achieve that spa-like bathing experience in the comfort of their homes. Aside from not having to leave your humble abode, a steam shower is easy to use. It also does not require as much space in your bathroom.
A shower and sink installation expert shares to keep in mind if you are considering this feature.
It’s Great For People With a Small Bathroom
While a steam shower seems to be a luxurious addition to your bathroom, it can be installed in smaller spaces. However, you’ll need to consider how tall your shower is because the ideal height for this feature is around seven feet. You also want to make sure that your steam shower is spacious enough for a bench, so you can enjoy the steam for at least 15 minutes.
Be Mindful of Condensation and Moisture
Keep in mind that steam is a form of moisture, and when it becomes condensation, water will drip in your shower. Your shower ceiling should be sloped to keep water from dripping where you are sitting. It’s also important to select sealed fixtures and vapor-proof lights to prevent moisture-related damage. Avoid choosing porous materials because they tend to absorb heat and moisture. At the Bathroom Store, we’re here to help you make the best decisions for your shower and tub replacement project.
Keep Your Shower as Safe as Possible
Going in a steam shower is great for your skin, and it can help lower your blood pressure. It relaxes your muscles after working out and encourages good blood flow, removing soreness. However, when your shower isn’t safe enough, it can cause injuries instead of soothing your body. Non-slip flooring will make this feature safer for you, especially for your aging loved ones.
