What requirements are there for a steam bath?

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.

How to install a steam bath?

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!

How long should I take a steam bath and what are the health benefits?

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.
