VW Gallerie at V&W Supply: Time-crunched? Bring steam showers home

Is your personal time crunch cutting into your time for crunches, or even a relaxing steam shower at the gym?  If so, you aren’t alone.

One beat-the-clock solution is to bring the spa experience home with a home steam shower.

Because of their increasingly hectic schedules, more people are putting steam showers in their homes instead of going to the gym everyday, says Sharron Edwards, Director of Marketing and Showrooms at V&W Supply, the largest independent supplier of plumbing fixtures in Alabama, and a Mr. Steam Premier Dealer. 

The experienced design center consultants at the VW Gallerie showrooms in Birmingham, Pelham and Tuscaloosa have all noticed an uptick in home steam showers, driven by health-conscious homeowners who regularly use the steam facilities at their gym and now want to bring that convenience and daily indulgence home.

As Edwards notes, “Steam not only helps to hydrate our skin, it also helps the circulatory system, aids in breathing, and enhances our overall well being.” All this and more can be accomplished in just one 10- to 20-minute steam session.

Especially once they understand that a steam shower doesn’t require a lot of space and is not an expensive amenity, time-pressed homeowners want to bring all the benefits of steam home, whether they are remodeling a bath, building a new home, or simply retrofitting an existing shower enclosure.

The last thing busy homeowners want is to wait for a steam shower that is slow to start, devote time to cleaning one, or spend what seems like an eternity figuring out confusing controls. So Edwards offers this advice to harried homeowners considering a steam shower.

“When comparing different steam companies, it’s important not to just consider cost.  Features are a must when deciding.”

She suggests shoppers ask questions like:  

• How fast does the steam begin?

• Is an AutoFlush available so that the steam is always fresh smelling, and I don’t have to think about activating a cleaning mechanism?  

• Do I have the option of simple user controls, especially when more than one person will use the steam shower? 

VW Gallerie showrooms are highly interactive with working steam shower systems and towel warmers, as well as faucets, whirlpools, air tubs, heated flooring and refrigerated medicine cabinets so visitors can experience in one place all the luxury that can become reality in their homes.

Among them is the innovative new Mr.Steam iSteam swipe-touch control, as easy to use as a smart phone. The beautiful graphics of the iSteam touch panel are unprecedented in shower controls, and the intuitive interface means no wasted time getting up to speed on using the controls. Edwards reports homeowners appreciate not only iSteam’s clean look, but also its easy operation, for one or multiple users.  

Shopping at a qualified, highly interactive
showroom saves time.

Visiting a qualified, well-informed showroom can save time selecting the correct home steam shower. For example, VW Gallerie helps shoppers calculate the right-size generator as well as choose the optimum steam shower controls, and even popular amenities such as aromatherapy and in-shower music system. The Mr. Steam online Virtual Spa System is fast and easy to use, too.  And qualified showrooms such as VW Gallerie can refer licensed contractors for steam shower installation, saving homeowners even more valuable time. 

Clearly, from selection to daily enjoyment, the home steam shower is ideal for anyone who is overly busy today.
