A steam shower is a built-in or self-contained structure that
produces steam for bathing and relaxing. Like mini-saunas do, the steam cabins
help to create the healing atmosphere of a steam bath in a small bathroom. Such
a cabin allows creating wetter (up to 100% of humidity) and less hot
atmosphere, compared with dry and strong heat of a sauna.

The steam shower or a shower enclosure can be of two forms. The first
one consists of a built-in room, and the second is a modular cabin,
which requires a separate independent installation. All steam units, either
embedded or modular, require the presence of three primary components:
- Steam generator - this element converts water into steam;
- Access to water and sewer.
- Access to power - electricity feeds the steam generator.
Built-in steam shower. The embedded unit, as the name implies, must be
erected from scratch in the walls of your bathroom or other room where you have
decided to put it. In a sense, this is actually a steam room. It should be made
of materials that withstand high humidity. Floor materials should be grainy to
reduce the chance of slipping.

Modular autonomous steam showers. You can purchase and install modular
steam cabins in your home as stand-alone units. They still need access to the
electricity and plumbing of your home. These showers are also suitable for bathrooms with limited space.
