What is a steam shower? Basically, it is a small, enclosed room with a vapor-tight door that is equipped with a steam shower generator. The steam generator heats water to a boil and then delivers the resulting vapor into the enclosed room.
The room's walls, ceiling, and floor must be made of a material that is impervious to the hot, moist vapor. A seat or bench gives you a place to relax while you enjoy bathing in the steam.
In addition, nearly all steam showers are also regular showers with water controls and one or more showerheads.
