Introduce an Attractive and Elegant Feature to the Bathroom with a Steam Cubicle
One of the easiest ways to improve the value of your home is to include a steam shower cubicle in your bathroom. A steam cabinet is the perfect remodelling item to replace your existing shower. As the dimensions are usually very much the same, you can find a unit to match the available space. Depending on which model steam shower you choose, you can get a contractor in to complete the project or tackle it as a DIY project over a weekend.
The only major consideration is the steam generator. This needs to be properly linked to the water supply as well as the electrical system. These are two jobs best left to the professionals unless you have experience doing this sort of work. Certified plumbers and electricians will get the job done correctly and you will not have any problems from your household insurance should you experience problems later on.
When remodelling or renovating your bathroom, consider the possibilities for increasing the usable space as well as modernising the cabinets and decor. A new paint job together with a set of new slim line cabinets will make the bathroom easier to clean and to move around in.
You steam cubicle will generate plenty of moisture so you need to ensure that the bathroom is properly sealed. If steam escapes from your steam cabin you will lose the many benefits of the shower.
Steam shower cubicles can be finished in a variety of stunning materials. A very popular look is natural stone. This is easy to clean, looks great and matches most bathrooms. Something you will also need to look at carefully is the ceiling. It must have a slope to allow the water that condenses there to run off. If you neglect this then the water will drip annoyingly on to you and the relaxing benefits of a steam shower will be lost.
The walls also require special attention, being painted in a suitable material or tiled. Your steam cubicle supplier will have plenty of options for you to consider with regard to the walls of your steam cubicle. Don’t forget that you can have a number of additional features such as radios, television, telephones and multiple jets in your steam cabin. Decide before hand what exactly you need and stick to that list. There is no point in jacking up the cost with added features which you will never use.
So consider the addition of a steam shower cubicle to your bathroom if you wish to remodel and modernise your home. The spa benefits of a steam shower will leave you relaxed and feeling great without the need to climb in your car and fight the traffic to get to a club or gym. Your bathroom can be transformed with a few of the suggestion above without it costing you an arm and a leg. Minor changes to the layout of your bathroom will ensure an easy flow and increase the value of your home. So choose a steam cubicle to suit your needs, you’ll be glad you did.
