Once you have the basic requirements for your steam room you will need to look at the accessories that are needed. You will obviously have a generator, doors that seal properly, waterproof tiles and a waterproof ceiling and after that you will need to look at the added extras. Steam room accessories will be the things that make your steam room that little bit more luxurious and can also allow you to put your own mark on it.
What are Steam Room Accessories?
Steam room accessories can be classed as things that you don’t need to build a steam room but do either need to make it easy to use or enhance the experience while you are in there. In some cases it will not be necessary to put them in at the time the steam room is built but on occasions there may be the need to do quite a bit of work to allow the accessories to be put in.
The Different Steam Room Accessories
- Lights – it is more than likely that you will need lights when you put together the steam room but the options are varied. A plain light will mean that you can use the steam room but it is possible to have a number of lights and a variety of colours. Some use mood lightings and in other cases there can be patterns or scenes designed in the ceiling.
- Seats. It will be necessary to have seats but there is a big difference in the types to choose from. A basic fold up plastic seat will allow you to sit down but if you have a bigger steam room it may look better if you had wooden seats and maybe even benches.
- Tiles. There will be the need to have a waterproof wall but tiles can add a great deal to the look of the steam room. If you want something that looks elaborate the tiles can be multi-coloured and can have designs on them.
- Music. There is no need to sit in silence as steam rooms can have speakers fitted. This way you can have your favourite movement piped in. Although the steam room will help you relax anyway if you also have relaxing music the atmosphere will be even better.
- Aromatherapy system. If you want to make sure that your steam room smells just how you want, it is now possible to have an aromatherapy system fitted. This way you can have a lovely smell wafting through and it is hard to think what can be done to make the steam room experience more enjoyable.
When choosing your steam room accessories there are plenty of places who can provide them either on line or in the local showrooms. Many companies will let you know what is available and can also design the steam room for you. As you should not be in there for too long it is possible to get away with just the basics but there is no harm in providing yourself with a bit of luxury if you have the money.
