Steam Showers vs. Shower Stalls

Trade your traditional shower stall for a luxury steam shower.

"My how times have changed," a line older generations are known to say when shopping for a new home item. You may be saying this line too when looking to replace or build a shower. Times have changed and there's quite a difference when it comes to Steam Showers verses Shower Stalls.

As you learn about steam showers verse shower stalls, you'll find steam showers just offer homeowners more value. The value of steam showers includes fun features like acupressure and foot massage, steam sauna, aromatherapy, and more. Practical differences like cleanliness. And the same wide selection of shower sizes to fit your bathroom. In a nutshell, steam showers just have more functions thanks to today's steam shower technology. Let's take a look.

Most homeowners have shower stalls verses steam showers in their bathroom. Shower stalls typically have four parts including the floor tray, shower door, side panel(s), and titled or acrylic wall. While shower stalls are found in most homes, they are quickly being replaced with fully enclosed steam showers. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports steam showers are one of the most popular bathroom remodeling features purchased.

What are some of the differences between steam showers and shower stalls? The most notable difference between shower stalls and steam showers are the features. Shower stalls typically feature the four sides and floor tray either prefabricated or tiled. Steam Showers come with a number of possible luxury steam shower features including:

A second notable difference between shower stalls and steam showers is cleanliness and protection. Most shower stalls are breading grounds for mold and bacteria due to humid conditions. And because shower stalls are open on top, your whole bathroom is exposed to mold and bacteria. Have you ever had mold spots on your ceiling?

A steam shower on the other hand is fully enclosed. Steam showers keep your bathroom walls, ceiling, and floors free of buildup found with regular shower stall usage. Another advantage of steam showers is the ozone sterilization system. The steam shower's ozone sterilization system is a self cleaning steam shower function killing bacteria, mold, and viruses. This allows you to have a clean steam shower experience every time.

The one similarity between shower stalls and steam showers is size availability. Shower stalls can be built in any size bathroom.

  • Quarter-Circle
