General Facts
What is steam?
Quite simply, steam is hot vapor created by the action of heating a liquid, water, to its gaseous state… steam.
Isn't steam too hot for the human body?
Boil a pot of water until it starts steaming. When you hold your hand close to the water it's very hot and uncomfortable…but if you hold your hand about a foot above the boiling water you'll get a warm soothing feeling. Your hand eventually becomes wet, as the steam condenses on it. In the steambath your body is always far enough away from the steam source to avoid any discomfort.
Where can I take a steam bath?
Until recently steambaths were not readily available to most people. They were usually the preserve of those privileged few who belonged to "Members Only" Health Clubs or could afford to go to an exclusive spa for pampered treatment. There are some public baths but generally they are not very private or easily accessible. Now, in-home steam baths are fast becoming the bath amenity of choice for the new millennium. Read "Full Steam Ahead" from Kitchens & Baths magazine, an informative article outlining why homeowners are opting for steam suites in their existing shower or tub enclosures.

What are the benefits of a steam bath?
A steambath is one of the most marvelous things you can do for your body! It opens pores, flushes out grime and bacteria, clears sinuses and nasal passages, soothes muscle aches and helps you breathe easier. Follow your steambath with a warm shower and you'll sleep like a baby. Follow it with a cool shower and you'll feel invigorated like never before.
Does a steambath really clean better than a bath or shower?
Yes. The heat of a steambath opens the body's pores as the warm moisture flushes them out, washing away the grimiest dirt and skin bacteria. If you're spending half your life scrubbing kids in the tub, let them take a steambath for a few minutes. You'll be amazed how clean they get!
What if I fall asleep in my steambath?
Enjoy the snooze. The timer automatically shuts the steam off.
Should a steambath be part of my exercise program?
Jog, golf, play tennis or run a mile. Then jump into a steambath for about 10 minutes. Shower off and you'll feel delightfully rejuvenated.
How does steam bathing rate in water usage?
Very high. Generators for home use are so efficient they only use a couple of liters of water during a 15-minute steam bath. In comparison, a 15-minute shower would use more than 150 liters of water!
