Are Steam Showers Worth the Money?

Like any other major home improvement, steam showers are a significant investment. Prices can range from a few thousand dollars to nearly $10,000 for high end luxury steam showers.

Many models even offer incredible technological enhancements like an LCD television built into the wall of the shower unit. 

Although it’s common for people to initially shy away from the increased cost compared to a traditional shower, there’s a reason that steam showers are slowly taking market share from their conventional counterparts. 

The Value of Steam Showers

Steam showers are much more than just an enclosure and a heater. They offer a full spa experience in the comfort of your own home without any appointments, conditions, or closures.

Very high end steam shower models offer a steam shower combined with a whirlpool hot tub.

This convenience can be priceless during high-stress periods in your life. After all, you can’t always count on the spa to be open during holidays or after a late night at the office.

When approached with the right mindset, steam showers can even reduce your monthly expenses by making other services redundant. For example, many people pay extra for high-end gym memberships that include extra benefits like a steam room.

If that’s the only reason that you’re shelling out more every month, then you can completely eliminate that expense by installing a home steam shower. 

There’s also the matter of privacy. At a public spa or gym sauna, you’re likely to be sharing that space with others. The business controls everything from what you’re allowed to wear to which songs are playing on the radio.

With your own steam shower, you can curate your own spa experience away from prying eyes. 

Compare the experience of a steam shower vs a regular shower.

Efficiency and Design

Steam showers are available in dozens of designs, including combination models that offer a steam sauna, whirlpool hot tub, and a shower all in a single package.

These versatile units mean that you only need to renovate once in order to have a full suite of options.
