Steam Shower
Steam Shower
One of my favorite features in a Custom Home is a steam shower. Perhaps, it's best in a secondary bath other than the master but it's still a great feature. It's like taking a trip to the day spa without leaving the privacy of your home. The steam feels great and cleanses your skin and pores!
I would recommend a ceiling no higher than 8' so the steam is not all going to the area above your head. Slope the tile ceiling slightly away from the door so the water sheds to the wall, instead of dripping on your head. A windowless shower is best and a seat to sit on is a nice feature. I prefer the folding type that has wood slats to sit on.
I'm not a big fan of built in seats in a shower, water has a way of finding it's way through ceramic tile over the years as most homeowners don't maintain the caulk and grout in showers the way they should.
Our tile subcontractor provides additional waterproofing behind the walls in a steam shower too.
Have an awesome day,
Mike
