Steam has been a tool in the box of healthcare enthusiasts and celebrities since the early 1990s. More Canadians than ever are adopting steam saunas to their residential homes, now that the pricing has come down to more affordable levels. If you’re looking for a way to sweat off the stress, get fit, and become a generally happier person, installing your own might be something.
Just look at Finland, a place generally believed to be one of the happiest countries in the world. Despite the cold, dark winter, spending time in saunas is one way Finnish people like to pass the time. Finland only has a population of 5.3 million and yet, there are currently more than 2 million saunas and steam rooms in operation there. Considering multi-person households and families, there are few properties in Finland that do not have some kind of access to a steam room or sauna.
That’s had an influence on how we do things here in North America. Across Canada, you’ll find numerous homes for sale with steam rooms and saunas pre-installed. Although some may see a steam room as a luxury, we see it as a warm place to settle into where you can relax after a long day. Just imagine being able to come home, and taking thirty minutes after work to unwind in a steam room. It would be an easy way to set yourself up for a great night, whether that involves staying inside and keeping to yourself or going out with friends.
Why go to the spa for a steam bath or steam room experience when you could have one in your home – you probably wouldn’t. The great thing is that steam rooms are more affordable than ever. You don’t need to be living in a multi-million dollar palace to have your own private steam room. You don’t need to go into debt to be able to purchase one, either. The great thing is they can be customized to almost any space, which makes it easy to fit into where you need it to fit into.
As to where to put it, many Canadians choose to put their steam rooms in the basement. That said, you can lay it out almost anywhere in the home. In some cases, homeowners enjoy setting them up in areas where they can also put in a hot tub or fitness equipment. After your daily workout routine, a steam room can be the perfect place to lay your head and get back into facing the world.
If you like going to the sauna or steam room, buying a steam room for your home is definitely something that can go a long way in making things comfortable. Now, as to whether a sauna or steam room is more preferable for your own at-home spa, there’s some debate here. If you’re looking for muscle relaxation or to lower blood pressure, going with a sauna is likely more recommended over a steam room. That said, steam rooms are better at detoxification and so, long-term, a steam room is usually preferred.
