Relaxing in a sauna steam room where you will be able to unwind in the presence of relaxing and warm steam is the best way of escaping from daily stresses and strains. In fact, when you sit in a sauna steam room you will be able to get rid of your fatigue and after an hour inside such a room you will even start feeling energized and will then be ready to face life’s tough challenges with greater vigor and confidence.
Design Considerations
Though sauna steam rooms can be placed wherever steam can be entrapped, the majority of them are designed in the form of custom showers. An ideal height for your sauna steam room would be approximately seven feet, and you should also ensure that it is designed in the form of a cubicle to provide pure humidity. To ensure the condensed drops of water do not fall on you, usually the seat is placed far from the ceiling.
The room should also have a sauna heater that has to be synchronized to work along with a generator that creates steam and which is controlled with the help of digital control panels. The heater is most often placed within the sauna steam room and it is wise to keep the temperature low so as to get more humidity while the opposite happens when temperatures are allowed to rise.
The control panel is able to switch on the heater to help you dry up following your bathing and ideally it should be set to provide temperatures between one hundred and sixty to one hundred and ninety degrees.
You can also construct a sauna steam room by buying it in the form of a kit or it can come completely assembled. Good choice of wood is cedar, which is widely used in the construction of most sauna steam rooms. It feels quite cool to the touch as it heats up slowly and can easily be washed and will therefore remain clean. Cedar does not splinter too easily and is also a good wood as far as stain resistance is concerned.
If you are truly enthused by taking saunas at home, you ought to consider installing a sauna steam shower to get much needed relaxation. Some people even install speakers (waterproof) in their sauna steam room and then enjoy the relaxation while listening to their favorite music. The only other main concern about using your sauna steam room is to ensure that the unit has its own back flush (automatic) as well as has a good means to drain out the steam.
