Elevate your shower experience: create a sanctuary where steam envelops your senses and your daily routine becomes a wellness experience.<\/strong> A steam shower<\/strong><\/a> offers numerous health benefits: it helps cleanse the skin, stimulate blood circulation and relax the muscles.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To turn your shower into a steam shower,<\/strong> all you have to do is install a steam generator<\/strong> which heats water until it becomes steam, usually at temperatures between 40 and 50\u00b0C and with relative humidity close to 100%. This means you can alternate the steam experience<\/strong><\/a> with the traditional shower and can even add aromatherapy and colour therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam production is controlled from a control panel, where temperature, light effects and other functions can all be managed simply and intuitively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose a steam shower?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A steam shower <\/strong>provides the beneficial effects of both a shower and a Turkish bath in one. It means you can enjoy a wellness experience in the comfort of your home, using the space available without having to install two separate systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A steam shower provides a host of health benefits<\/strong>: for instance, the warm steam stimulates sweating, which flushes out toxins and impurities, improving your skin\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humidity helps clear your airways, alleviating the symptoms of the common cold and sinusitis. With a domestic steam shower<\/strong>, you can enjoy pure relaxation whenever you want, without having to leave the comfort<\/strong> of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n

What are the benefits of a steam shower?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Health benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regular sessions in a steam shower <\/strong>can have extremely positive effects on your body, thanks to the combined action of heat and humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steam caresses the skin, opens the pores and helps the body get rid of impurities<\/strong>, naturally and visibly revitalising the skin deep down<\/strong>. It also helps remove excess sebum, helping prevent blackhead and acne breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat helps dilate the blood vessels<\/strong>, increasing blood flow and oxygenation of the body\u2019s tissues. This, in turn, helps reduce blood pressure, promotes lymphatic drainage, relaxation and muscle repair after exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm steam can also have a beneficial effect on respiratory health<\/strong>. It clears your airways, helps loosen mucus and catarrh and, when combined with natural essential oils like eucalyptus and mint, can be an effective decongestant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits on our mental wellbeing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the steam<\/strong> and warm silence of the shower cabin envelop you, you begin to relax, find a sense of calm and unwind mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because a steam shower<\/strong> is not just a way of pampering the body, it can also improve your mental wellbeing! The relaxing environment created by the heat and steam helps reduce stress, improve your mood and promote restorative sleep<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot water and steam have a calming effect on the nervous system because they stimulate the production of endorphins<\/strong> and reduce cortisol <\/strong>levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat helps soothe muscles and joints, promoting a feeling of lightness and wellbeing in general and this has a positive effect on the mind. With a steam shower, <\/strong>your daily routine becomes a real wellness experience that enhances your wellbeing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

How can you transform your shower into a Turkish bath?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can get a lot into a small space: turning an existing shower into a steam room isn\u2019t difficult. Just<\/strong> bear a couple of technical aspects in mind<\/strong> to ensure a healthy and efficient steam experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even small spaces (e.g. 90 x 90 cm) can house a steam shower<\/strong>. The enclosure must be closed at the top and you will need a special door, with an opening at the bottom for the air to circulate and hermetically sealed at the top. A height of 220 cm is ideal to get the best heat experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceiling and walls must be clad in water-resistant materials such as ceramic tiles or mosaics. And, if possible, the ceiling should be sloped to prevent condensate dripping onto your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your steam generator needs to be connected to your plumbing and electrics and can be installed inside the shower enclosure or in a nearby utility space. It is also important to ensure the enclosure is properly ventilated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
