How can you design a steam room?

Designing A Steam Room

When you are designing a steam room for your home, you must take the following points into consideration:

• The steam generator should be installed outside the steam room, but not outdoors
• Allow enough space for the steam generator to be serviced
• Use plumbing connections so that the generator can be removed, if necessary
• Make sure to contact the manufacturer of the material you decide to use for your steam room to make sure it will stand up to the heat and damp
• Try to avoid installing your steam room around skylights and outside windows
• Try to avoid installing your steam room on an outside wall, as it means a larger generator is necessary
• The ceiling of the steam room should be around 7', with the maximum height being 8'
• Slope the ceiling and seats in the steam room to allow condensation to roll off
• Make sure the steam room drains properly
