What is a Steam Shower?
Definition:-
A steam shower is a self-enclosed facility created for showering and bathing, integrated with a humidifying steam generator. The steam generator produces heated water vapour that is dispersed within the enclosure creating a steam room environment. The steam shower is in all purposes a self-enclosed shower enclosure that prevents water vapour from escaping. Each steam shower has additional features such as radio, speakers, lighting and much more with the ability to house more than one person, combining the functionality of a standard shower.
A Brief History:-
The steam shower is adapted from the steam room and can actually be traced right back to our early ancestors. Believed to have originated in the Roman era where the people would languish in sweat rooms known as Sudatoriums, the steam room was enjoyed throughout the world. The Turks enjoyed their very own baths known as Hammam, whereas the Russians utilised a version known as the Banya. Innovation and technology combined has transformed this primitive therapy in to the steam room and today manufacturers have integrated the steam room with the shower to create - the steam shower.
