When it comes to showering, most people think of a standard bathroom arrangement with either a cramped stall or a combination unit with a tub that almost seems spacious by comparison.
Yet there’s another option that blends the extravagance of a sauna with the convenience of an at-home rinse: the steam shower.
Steam showers rely on a steam generator to produce hot water vapor that disperses around your body for a soothing, immersive experience.
Although the expense may seem daunting, a steam shower isn’t just an upgrade with more space and advanced technology—it’s an investment in personal wellness, environmental sustainability, and adding a new source of tranquility to your home.
Design and Features
Regular shower designs are usually straightforward and minimalist. There aren’t too many opportunities to expand upon a basic design.
Unless costly custom work is involved, the components are standard staples of almost any bathroom: shower head, knobs, and a few built-in shelves for storage.
In a complete challenge to the traditional shower, steam shower types are highly customizable and can adapt to meet the various needs of a family, couple, or individual.
These versatile models contain a suite of luxurious settings that you can turn on and off at will. From multiple shower heads to colored fluorescent lighting, steam showers offer the ability to control your ambiance and overall experience.
Modern Conveniences
Regular showers are certainly convenient all on their own. It doesn’t take much time to bathe, and the average water heater has more than enough capacity for even the most over-the-top user.
But beyond minor updates in plumbing or the addition of a suction-cup shower speaker that falls off every day anyway, the average shower hasn’t evolved much beyond the way they looked 20 years ago.
Steam showers, however, invite you to think beyond the convenience of showering to consider how personal hygiene can be part of your self-care regimen as well.
For example, have you ever realized your phone is ringing right in the middle of what was supposed to be a relaxing shower?
With a steam shower, instead of scrambling into your bedroom and shivering through a call, the advanced control panels allow you to talk on the phone through integrated Bluetooth inside your steam shower.
With the push of a button, the touchscreen in a steam shower can control a variety of features, including the radio or the lights in your bathroom.
Steam showers are part of smart living for a smarter generation.
Safety and Health
Steam showers have innumerable benefits for users in all states of health, including improved circulation and less joint pain.
Athletes will appreciate a faster recovery time from working out, while people in high-stress lifestyles can take advantage of a steam’s shower calming vapors to eliminate muscle tension.
Steam showers are safe for the general population and come equipped with grab bars, automatic temperature sensors, and emergency alarms.
In addition to the benefits you experience, steam showers are also environmentally friendly. Unlike regular showers that guzzle several gallons of water per minute, steam showers use only four gallons per hour.
You can indulge as long as you like without worrying about whether you’re putting your own comfort before the planet. Regular showers just can’t offer that peace of mind.
