5 Reasons to Buy a Steam Shower

If you’ve only experienced a steam session at the spa or the gym, it may seem counterintuitive to install a steam shower in your home. However, with an at-home steam shower, you’ll realize all of the possibilities available to you.

Here are five reasons for installing an at-home steam shower:

Use less water. Steam generators heat water, and the vapor is piped into the shower stall. This only uses two gallons of water every two minutes. On the other hand, a traditional showerhead uses seven gallons of water per minute. That’s 140 gallons in the same amount of time!


Save water with a modern, sauna-like steam shower.

Increase home value. Modernized and contemporary bathrooms are more attractive to potential home buyers. Adding a steam shower to your bathroom will bring it up to date with the latest technology. You don’t want your home to seem outdated to prospective buyers.

Enhance relaxation. Showering with steam improves relaxation and boosts respiration. You won’t have to go to the gym or spa to enjoy a steam session when you have a steam shower at home. Take a steam shower after your daily workout or right before bed to improve sleep.

Enjoy health benefits. Steam has been used by different cultures throughout history for its health benefits and restorative effects on the body and mind. Bathing with steam clears sinuses, deeply cleanses skin, relieves allergies and respiratory illnesses, increases blood circulation, restores sore muscles, and removes toxins from the body via sweat. It also alleviates aches and pains and creates an artificial fever, which boosts the body’s immunity.


A steam shower is a great fit for a sleek bathroom that has other modern fixtures.

Indulge in luxury features. Modular steam shower systems on the market include luxury features for you to enjoy in addition to the steam function. Depending upon the model, these features may include aromatherapy system, chromatherapy lighting, FM radio, massage jets, surround sound speakers, and an overhead rainfall ceiling showerhead. Some steam shower models include a built-in whirlpool bathtub as well.

 

A steam shower for your home is a worthy investment; they function on little water, raise the value of your home, and offer a multitude of health benefits for you to incorporate into your daily routine. We can’t think of a reason not to include a steam shower in your bathroom remodel.
