From the most budget conscious to the most elaborate consumer, a steambath can be designed and constructed to your own exact specifications. Designer materials for in-shower use with a Mr.Steam Steam System can range from ceramic tile, glass and porcelain tile to natural stones such as marble, granite, slate, acrylic and even concrete.
Shower enclosures have evolved from simple glass partitions that keep water off the floor to stylish, value-enhancing additions to the modern bathroom. Shower enclosures are an elegant way to augment the overall bathroom environment, while serving as a functional barrier against damaging water leakage.
All materials have different heating characteristics in reaching and maintaining a comfortable steambathing temperature. It is important to know what materials you will be using in order to select the correctly sized unit. Before or during installation of your steam shower, provisions must be made to ensure the shower is completely enclosed with a fully gasketed door to contain the steam. The area must also have watertight walls, ceilings and floors. Ideally, the ceiling height should be between seven and eight feet and sloped to prevent condensation from dripping on the occupants.

Today's shower doors are available in an endless variety of designs, finishes, colors and patterns to complement virtually any bathroom décor. Etched glass panels, transparent or frosted glass, chic frame finishes, and seamless/frameless shower doors are but a few of the choices available to today’s homeowners.
