What is a Steam Room?

A steam room is a name covering a wide array of thermal steam bathing experiences. The phrase steam room is usually associated with a tiled wet room filled with a steam from a steam generator (typically electrically powered). Steam rooms are typically formed of a mosaic tiled bench section, tiled walls and floor, with a floor drain, a glass door in aluminium or other non-corrosive material frame, a steam niche from which the steam is created, and a steam generator mounted in the space adjacent. Temperatures usually sit at around 40-50 degrees Celsius (110 to 120 Fahrenheit) and generally as close to 100% humidity as possible.

Most domestic and commercial steam room installations follow a formulaic layout, though the options for steam rooms design and styling and in turn cost, can be very diverse. Key considerations for designing steam rooms include whether to have heated benches or not, requirement for high humidity ventilation and extraction to ensure fresh air circulation, the size and type of steam generator and the type of mosaics and tiles.
