A steam shower is a wonderful way to create the healing atmosphere of a steam
bath in a small bathroom. Unlike strong dry heat of a sauna, such cabin allows
creating damper and less hot atmosphere. A steam shower or a shower enclosure
of a closed type can be of two forms. The first one consists of a built-in
room and the second type is modular, which requires a separate independent
installation. Let us consider in more detail the first option.

The built-in unit is located in the walls of your bathroom or other
room. This type of shower is quite close to the concept of a whole steam room.
Such a cabin must be completely made of materials resistant to moisture. For
example, it can be a glass or ceramic tile, or a mosaic. It is very
important to choose non-slip materials since during the operation of the steam
generator the entire space of the shower will be covered with moisture.
If you have high ceilings, then you should not make a shower cabin of
the same height. The niche for the shower should not be very high. The reason
is that according to the well-known physical law, hot air always rises, which
will substantially take away warm air and steam from resting people.

One more important condition for any steam shower cabin is full
tightness. To provide it, among other things, you need to install special steam shower doors. Otherwise, the gaps in the shower structure will lead to
the leakage of steam. This process, in turn, will reduce the efficiency of the
steam shower, as well as spoil the surrounding interior.
