Steam Room

Hi Tim

I am remodeling a steam shower. This website is very useful, and I watch your video at youtube.com too.

What vapor-proof light fixture would you recommend for inside steam room?

Thanks

Bob

Dear Tim,
We are building a new house. My husband would love a steam shower. Do you know where I can find reviews of prefabricated steam showers? He saw a Royal SSWW B104 at a local Home Show (www.soakbath.ca) and is quite taken with it. I have never heard of the company and am concerned that it may not be a reputable product to put in our new home. Any suggestions?

Tim, I'm installing a steam generator with my shower enclosure. I want to learn more about running the steam line and how to address any fire hazards it may create (e.g. contact with walling materials, proper insulation). Can you point me to some information on proper steam line installation?

Interesting...

Tim,

I'm putting a steam room in my basement and am wondering where I can get the vapor barrier for my walls and ceiling. I would like it to be one piece for the best protection, but I can't find where to get it? My room is approx. 5'w x 10'l x 7'h. Can you point me in the right direction?

We have a 6 person, 8 heating element infrared Wasauna sauna. The circuit board/power unit (ACETECH SRZHXOOG) went out. We replaced all fuses with no luck. Wasauna tells us they do not sell replacement circuit boards or power units. Where can we purchase a replacement circuit board.

Building a steam room in my large garage( ground level, one room condo above). Desired Dimensions are 7'x 6'x 7'. Tile interior with marble slab seat and exterior will be teak. Single glass door. I have 220 single phase. Desired unit size?

First, it seems that the steam generator borderlines the commercial units for health spas. Any ideas on a desirable unit? Also installing a new heater and water softening system to keep build up down. Smart idea?

Secondly, would love to have remote control in the condo to turn unit off and on and also with temp indicator or maybe timer unit to turn s/r off and on at desired time or should I just have a control system so when temperature goes below a set level it auto turns on. What do you recommend?

Hello,

I need help. I'm going to tile a steam room but customer does not want to remove old tiles. The tiles are painted (never seen anything like that ) I have to tile ceiling, walls, and floor. I will be removing the paint first. Is there anything I can use to tile the walls? Any bonding or any product that will make the tiles glued on the old tiles and this product will have to be moisture resistance. Please help with the steps and products that I need to use???????
