Is a Steam Shower Right for Me?

A steam shower offers you an opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy, exhausting day. No wonder, homeowners consider installing this type of shower in their bathrooms. But while it doesn’t require much water to generate steam, a steam shower can cause your electric bill to increase if it’s frequently used.

To give you more ideas on what to consider before deciding to add a steam shower, we share a few more pros and cons below.

Relaxation

A steam shower is a relaxing space. And in many cases, it can help people manage and soothe their mental and physical stresses. Several people recommend spending some time in a steam shower before going to bed as it helps them wind down and later on have a more restful sleep.

Health Benefits

It can be hard to ignore the health benefits of a steam shower, too. It can have a positive impact on your circulation since steam helps to open capillaries and widen other blood vessels, thus creating a blood pressure-lowering effect. Apart from that, steam is also known for helping clear congested nasal passages. If you have a chronic allergy that causes you to sneeze or your nose to feel stuffy out of nowhere, a session in your very own steam shower could help relieve such symptoms.

Slipping

Steam can make the bathroom floor slippery when the shower is in use, making it prone to accidents and injuries from slipping. So, during bath renovations involving steam shower installation, contractors suggest various ways to make bathroom floors safe. One simple way to improve bathroom safety is to install anti-slip strips on the floor. Caution is also important, especially when stepping in and out of the steam shower.

Condensation

Steam is basically water. And when it turns into condensation, water would likely drip on your head and distract you from a supposedly serene steam session. To prevent this minor inconvenience, make sure the shower ceiling is sloped so that dripping water can be directed away from where you sit or stand.
