As the world outside is getting more and more stressful, people tend to make their living spaces very cozy and homey – safe havens of protection, comfort and relaxation. Speaking of comfort and relaxation, the bathroom plays a crucial role. As statistics show, people tend to spend more time in their bathrooms and use it for small wellness sessions at home.
Apart from flowers, a foam bath, warm colors and fine odors, a very own steam bath adds up to the luxury wellness experience at home – at least for those, who have room for it. German manufacturer repaBAD is a specialist in creating beautiful steam baths for the home.
We talked to repaBAD about their basic tipps for this wellness highlight at home?
If you want to avoid steam in the whole bathroom, you need a separate, closed space for it. Therefore, apart from the shower floor or basin, you also need a roof and a glass cabin with a tightly closing door. A special steam generator, a place to sit and faucets are also necessary. However, these are the basics – there are much more possibilities.
Ideally, when installing a steam bath, always mind the ceiling height. There has to be at least 12 centimeters room between the top edge of the glass cabin to the ceiling – otherwise you could not store the technical equipment. But, even in tinier apartments, there are possibilities and solutions for a steam bath. Apart from that, a steam block on the wall is important, to quickly reach the temperature you wish for and, most importantly, to avoid building damages. An additional isolation of the walls is a plus too!
A steam bath should last about 15 to 20 minutes. Taking a steam bath means 100 percent air moisture! The 42 to 45 degrees warm steam opens all pores, for toxic substances to vanish via your skin. Through a steam bath your body gets purified and detoxes in an instant. People report of cleaner skin, a better respiratory system and circulation of lymph- and blood.
