Steam Showers
Once the province of the health spa steam room, now you can harness the calorie burning, cleansing properties of steam in your own bathroom!
The steam shower is a whole new dimension in showering and pampering. Invest in a steam shower unit and you’ll never be short of guests looking to stay over! The benefits of steam are manifold. You’ll feel it on your skin first – that combination of hot, wet water and hot steam will open up your pores like never before. It’s like having an all over de-tox every day! You’ll feel it deeper too. As the hot water relaxes your skin, the steam will get to work deep down, easing your muscles and relaxing your body, all over. What a way to start the day – or end it.
So how does it work? The steam shower is like a ‘shower cubicle +’. Whether your chosen model is fitted with a conventional shower head or a specially adapted hydro massager, you’ll still be able to enjoy an invigorating shower whenever you want, with or without steam. The steam comes courtesy of a mini steam generator built into every model and is released by way of special steam ducts. Simply set the temperature gauge to whatever feels comfortable and relax. (Needless to say, special attention is given to the shower doors, all designed to ensure that the steam stays in!)
And if that wasn’t enough, there are a whole host of additional features to enhance your pleasure still further. Steam shower units come with integrated seats, mood enhancing lights and even stereo radio speakers! Just remember, you have to get out of the shower at some point!
And if you really want to replicate that health spa experience in full, don’t forget your very own ‘plunge pool’ is a twist of the shower dial away – enjoy a steam, then invigorate with an ice cold shower - if you’re feeling brave enough!
