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
