Together with so much selection it may be a great task just to select one of the many in front of you, though 1 or 2 basic rules that it's essential to follow really should slim down the field to suit your needs so its possible to make an easier choice. See this shower cubicle.

The first and foremost golden rule is this:

""Allow the size of the shower plus the size of a body"

Crash at this point and the job is now over!! It is easy to evaluate that area left by the old bath or ripped out shower and think, all right, so I desire a 1700mm steam shower to fill that 1700mm space.....

This will not work!!!

As a steam shower cabin is a free standing unit with all its connections, screws and bolts located around the back. For any and all steam shower cabin installations the installer will need to physically get behind the unit to make all the connections and put the panels together. In almost all case the shower unit is built full to completion then and only then is it pushed back into that gap and its final resting position. So if you do not have that additional space the shower will not fit unless your installer has the ability to morph his body through glass panels

A further consideration for a steam shower is the height:

As the shower cabin will be giving of a lot of steam, more than a standard shower because it will be used as a shower then additionally as a sauna. So just as important as the room around it maybe the room above and also the materials above to avoid causing rot or damage in the bathroom. Many of the popular steam shower cabins come with a extractor fan but will you be ducting this straight outside??  The next best thing would be to have an additional running extractor in the bathroom in use while using the shower, but not everyone will have this luxury. In this case it will come down to firstly the size of the room, its ventilation for windows and then exactly what materials are in there it gauge if any precautions are need to prevent damage. also visit our FACEBOOK PAGE.

Then the rule thats so obvious its easy to miss

Mega shower Vs the right shower

Yep sound strange but it is true, one of the greatest benefits of a steam shower is that they are cost effective when doing a replacement for and old and out dated shower set up. Simply rip out the old, forget paying for tiles, a tiler and decoration, simply install a free standing steam shower in its place, simple. Yeah this is easy, but its also mega important to get the right size shower of the space left to cover up any mess left by the old shower without taking up the whole bathroom. Because a units is advertised as a corner unit 900 x 900 this may not mean that its 900 across the back against the wall. The unit might be curved fronted so it could mean its 900mm to the most pertuding part of that curve and less across the wall.

Rule is: Measure twice, do the job once
