fundamental element has the ability to transform into solid and liquid states
water vapor or steam. Used for everything from powering engines to pressing
clothes, steam also plays an important role in our health and relaxation. With
a steam shower, we are now able to have the luxury of a spa in our home.
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have indulged in the
soothing warmth of aromatic steam baths. Ancient Romans and Chinese were
well known for creating elaborate baths. Steam baths have also become part
of Native American cultures all the way from the Alaskan Eskimos to the land
of the Mayans. These cultures used steam baths to clean the body, cure
illness, rejuvenate tired muscles and provide a sense of spiritual identity. It
wasn’t until the twentieth century that steam baths became a more common
part of North American culture.
In the 1960s steam baths first appeared in large public facilities, such as
private clubs and large health resorts. The benefits of steam showers, it
seemed, were designated for those who had the money and resources to
access the treatment. Later in the same century, steam showers increased in
popularity drastically - to a point where taking a steam shower was part of
regular health treatments and followed a daily workout at the club.
Over the past 10 years, steam showers have become a popular component in
new home construction and bathroom renovations. With new developments in
plumbing technology and products, steam showers are easy to install in
almost any bathroom and have become an affordable private retreat. Steam
showers can be used daily and provide numerous health and aesthetic
benefits, and are a great way to have a steam treatment without the
inconvenience and cost of going to the gym or spa.
A steam shower looks like your regular shower except with sealing doors. With
an optional bench seat, which is highly recommended, we are able to kick
back and relax and enjoy our steam, rather than stand on tired restless feet.
Steam showers can come pre-packaged from a factory or can be custom
designed to fit a specific bathroom. In either case, the components will include
a steam generator, steam outlet(s) and regular shower head(s). The steam
generator houses the element that creates the heat necessary to produce
steam. The steam then moves through the steam outlet in the shower wall and
fills the shower area. The steam generator can be installed either in the
bathroom vanity near the shower, under the floor, or in the bench seat.
Custom showers should include a sloped ceiling to prevent condensation from
dripping. Aesthetically, the unit is streamlined and well-finished. There is also
a reduced risk of mold and mildew in these types of units because they are
enclosed and designed to withstand the humidity produced.
In our custom steam shower we can either take a shower, have a steam or
both at the same time. For days that we choose to have a regular shower, it’s
pleasing to know that, with the custom sealing doors, we will be cozy and warm
while lathering as the humidity from the shower will linger in the spa. The
steam outlet operates on a timer and can include a small reservoir where
essential oils, respiratory medications or perfume essences can be diffused.
We all know that men and women enjoy showering at different temperatures,
so why not splurge on a custom shower that will accommodate his and her
temperatures at the same time? Custom steam showers can include a
combination of adjustable shower heads, body sprays, hand sprays and
steam outlets to keep him and her happy and comfortable. Our custom steam
shower can also be equipped with accessories such as a CD player, in
shower speakers, steam free mirrors, mood lighting and remote control for
heat, music and light.
Before making the decision to install a steam shower it is important to
consider several factors. The space that we are going to use may indicate
whether a factory unit or custom designed shower will accommodate our
needs. The available hot water volume may have to be increased and the
budget and décor selection will have to be reviewed.
A professional plumbing and heating firm will be able to assess which system
will work best in our home and provide suggestions for custom spray systems,
such as body sprays, overhead shower heads, hand sprays, and multi-
directional shower heads. Once installed, our new steam shower will require
little maintenance. Regular cleaning is encouraged and periodic draining of
the system and physical inspection of the electrical components are advised.
Steam showers are used around the world by professional massage
therapists, chiropractors, coaches, estheticians and other health and beauty
practitioners during treatments and therapies. With Calgary’s dry climate and
cold winters, steam showers prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated and
itchy. Steam showers provide a wet heat that is different from the dry heat
created in a sauna. Steam showers open our pores so our skin can excrete
toxins and dirt, increases blood circulation, and can help clear sinuses and
nasal passages to help us breath more easily. It is especially helpful for those
who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and allergies. Steam showers can also
sooth tired and aching muscles.
Given that the average adult spends approximately 5,475 minutes or 91.25
hours in the shower every year, making it a comfortable and relaxing
experience can ensure that time is more enjoyable. Certainly, having a
custom shower with all the bells and whistles, is worth it and will make our daily
ritual a personal retreat. With increasing demands on our time and growing
stressors in our lives, a steam shower can provide a quick and affordable
escape from the day-to-day.
The ultimate reason for installing a steam shower in our home however, could
be its ability to iron. Yes, iron. Simply hang clothes in the shower, turn on the
steam for 10 to 15 minutes, and our clothes come out looking freshly ironed.
