ABOUT A STEAM SHOWER INSTALLATION
SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND -
With all of the stress that each and every one of us faces nowadays coming home to a relaxing session of steam and bliss is a very good source of stress relief. More and more people are making it a point to budget for a steam shower installation.
WHAT STEAM UNIT SHOULD I PURCHASE? - When selecting your steam unit do the research. Some who have invested their money for a bathroom renovation have made the mistake of purchasing a lower-end steam unit only to not be able to use the steam shower until the unit can be fixed. If it can be fixed. And finding the right people to service your unit is a subject in itself. Some Steam Generator Options to consider - THERMASOL - STEAMIST
WILL A WINDOW WORK IN A STEAM SHOWER? - Yes, it is possible. As long as your window is a double-pane window. Most newer homes do have double pane. No heat out and no cold in.
IS INSULATION OF THE STEAM SHOWER NECESSARY? - Yes, especially when the walls or ceiling is an exterior wall. Insulation ensures that the heat remains in the shower and doesn't escape outside and guards against a cold chill coming in.
WHAT ABOUT A SMALL SHOWER, CAN A BENCH BE BUILT? - That's a tough one. After all, you need to sit down to relax while in the steamer. One option is to build a corner seat in the shower. Or buying a folding seat to save space.

TILE INSTALLATION for STEAM ROOMS & STEAM SHOWERS
Any kind of tile will work for a steam room or steam shower tile installation however there is a difference in each of these tiles with regards to the heat efficiency of the steam generator that will be installed for your bathroom shower installation project.
The most efficient tile that is non-porous and does the best job at retaining the heat that is generated is a quality porcelain tile followed again by a quality ceramic and glass tile. Natural stone also can be installed but will require more maintenance with sealing the stone every year or two depending on how frequently the steam unit is used. However, for a large steam room or steam shower, it may be wiser to select a non-porous tile as mentioned.
​
The steam shower featured is a 13x24 porcelain wall tile that is set horizontally with the grout lines matching in straight lines. The ceiling and shower floor are tiled with natural stone tiles. Because the steam shower is smaller than most showers the minimum use of stone tiles mainly on the ceiling does not affect the efficiency of the steam generator whereas a larger unit could be affected in a negative way.
​
Whatever choice you make for your steam room or steam shower installation update Action Shower Pan & Steam Shower Company will install your tile with careful attention to all surfaces and details. Our 40 years of tile installation and bathroom remodeling experience is applied to all of the projects that we contract with for a safe, secure and beautiful steam room & shower installation.
