If you’re redecorating your bathroom and you’re thinking of whether you want an ordinary shower cubicle or steam room, you need to take into consideration your budget. Ordinary shower cubicles, are of course cheaper. The cheapest I’ve seen so far is around £172.00. For that price, you just get a 6mm glass enclosure, no visible fixings, and profile cover caps.

Now if you really want your bathroom to have that extra something, then try putting in a steam room/cabin. The cheapest steam cabin I’ve come upon so far is almost ten times the price of just an ordinary shower cabin. For £1,200.00, you can already get a computerized steam cabin complete with FM radio, hydromassaging body jets, steam generator, extractor fan, thermostatic control, etc.

So what are the advantages of having a steam room that would justify you spending all that money? Steam rooms can help you reduce stress since the steam would induce sweating and extracts all those body waste. Some even say that steam rooms help reduce weight but those may just be your body’s extra water.
