How a Steam Shower Works

By +Don Vandervort, HomeTips

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.
