Frequently Asked Questions


What is a steam shower?

A steam shower is a concept born from the conventional shower enclosure but modernised to become a spa environment whilst offering all the same attributes as a standard shower enclosure. Each shower is built as a standalone unit and is self-contained with an in-built steam function providing the ability to transform the enclosure into a steam room. Being a self-contained enclosure, the steam is held within the shower, preventing water vapour damage to the rest of your bathroom."

How exactly do steam showers function?

In a steam shower, rather than using hot water, a steam generator is used to generate steam that is then used to humidify the space. All our steam shower cubicles are equipped with digital controls that allow the user to turn on the steam, which in turn activates an electronic valve that causes cold water to be pumped into the steam generator. The generator then heats the water, causing it to boil, and transfers it to a steam head, which causes the cabin to be filled with warm, calming steam.

How does aromatherapy work with a steam shower?

The Insignia Creative Team has developed a simple and innovative way to infuse the steam in your Insignia steam shower. Essential aromatherapy oils from Insignia can de added to special oil diffuser pads, these are then inserted in the newly developed steam guard, which is fitted at the steam outlet within the shower. As the steam passes through the steam guard and the oil diffuser pads, it infuses the steam with the fragrance of the chosen oil. Insignia provides aromatherapy infusion kits for all steam products, as well as a selection of essential oils and diffuser pads, to give your showering experience that little extra touch of luxury.

What is chromatherapy lighting?

Across the Insignia range of showers*, most models now come with the innovative chromatherapy lighting system. This feature allows you to bathe the inside of your shower enclosure with vibrant or soothing lighting to match your mood. The lighting system is contained within the shower itself and can be controlled and adjusted from the shower control panel. Select the colour you desire or slowly scroll through the built-in colour spectrum. A truly different way to enhance your showering experience.

What types of sauna do Insignia offer?

Insignia offer three types of sauna.

1. Traditional Saunas, where the air around you is heated, and steam is created by pouring water onto hot sauna stones, increasing the humidity.

2. Far Infrared Saunas, which emit long wavelengths of invisible light energy that deeply penetrate the body.

3. Hybrid Saunas, combining the benefits of both Traditional and Far Infrared Saunas for a more versatile experience.

What is a far infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna heats up your body directly using a far infrared light source without heating up the atmosphere around you, creating a more pleasant environment. A traditional sauna will heat up the air around you, water is poured onto heated sauna stones to create steam and increase humidity. For more far infrared sauna information please click here.
