How Do You Create a Steam Room For Your Business? 

There are several factors to consider when adding a day spa steam system or heavy-duty commercial steam system to your business. Before beginning the project, the primary thing to consider is the size and location of the steam room you want to create.  

You need adequate space to accommodate this addition. However, there are other factors to consider such as: 

  • Hours of usage per day   
  • Materials used 
  • Steam generator location  
  • Design of the steam room  

The steam shower's dimensions are determined by the height, breadth, and depth of what you want to build. A larger room requires a larger generator to fill the space.
