In this blog we’re subsequently going to be looking at one of the latest trends within the shower sphere – that of the steam shower. Whether you’re installing one for your customers or are simply interested in finding out more about their key selling points, then read to the end of the blog to get the lowdown.
Steam showers like the Insignia Platinum Twin Shower Steam Shower Cabin offer a relaxing, spa-like experience.
What is a steam shower?
The steam shower is something which has risen up the ranks in popularity in recent times, as we continue to seek that spa-like vibe in our bathrooms – a space where we can retreat and enjoy some luxury relaxation. Combining a multitude of great features, the steam shower is therefore perfect if your customers are looking for an indulgent experience.
As the name suggests, a steam shower’s key feature is, of course, steam – something which immediately conjures up alluring visuals of a luxurious spa resort. In addition to the usual showering experience with waterflow, they therefore also deliver soothing steam, with some further incorporating aromatherapy, infusing this into the steam for the ultimate in relaxation.
With minimal floor space required, your customers might be surprised to find they could include one in their bathroom. Contained within a standalone shower enclosure, steam showers also tend to be very economical in terms of water and electricity use, so are great all-round. They can be more expensive to install at the outset but, once fitted, can add value to homes and will guarantee a great showering experience.
They also often include a seated area, for even more convenience.
The key features of steam showers include:
- Steam shower experience
- Ordinary waterflow showering
- FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity
- Remote control/touch-screen operation
- Optional aromatherapy infused into the steam
- Optional high-powered, adjustable whirlpool jets which deliver hydrotherapy massage
- Optional multicoloured lighting (Chromotherapy)
With a range of styles available at Tradeshack, our steam showers are manufactured by trusted brands including Vidalux and Insignia to ensure optimum quality at all times.
Steam showers are more eco-friendly than traditional showers.
Optional colour-change features in steam showers have been found to enhance our mood and general wellbeing.
How do steam showers work?
Basically, rather than constantly running hot water like an ordinary shower, steam showers function via a steam generator which fills with cold water, heating this to produce that relaxing steam. The generator is generally turned on via a handy digital control or touch-sensor on a control panel.
Combined with things like aromatherapy, lighting and music, the overall experience is one which will soothe both physically and mentally, as these elements have also been shown to enhance general wellbeing.
Key benefits of steam showers:
- Boost circulation
- Ease congestion
- Promote relaxation
- Reduce inflammation
- Can help to lower blood pressure
- Improve skin health
- Enhance mental wellbeing
- Ease joint pain and stiffness
