    One of the key benefits of steam rooms is their ability to promote relaxation and stress relief. 


    The warm, humid environment helps to soothe both the body and mind, allowing you to unwind and let go of daily tensions. 


    The steam stimulates the production of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormones, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.


    Another advantage of steam rooms is their ability to improve respiratory health. The warm steam helps to open up the airways, promoting easier breathing and relieving congestion. 


    This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma or allergies. In addition, the moist heat can help to alleviate sinus discomfort and promote healthy respiratory function.


    Steam rooms are also known for their detoxifying properties. The steam causes your body to sweat, which helps to eliminate toxins and impurities from your system. 


    This process can support healthy skin by cleansing the pores and promoting a natural glow. Regular use of a steam room can also help to improve circulation, leading to better nutrient delivery and waste removal throughout the body.


    Furthermore, steam rooms can aid in post-workout recovery. The heat and humidity of the steam room help to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and relieve soreness. 


    This can accelerate the recovery process, allowing you to bounce back more quickly and perform at your best.


    Sauna and Steam NZ is dedicated to providing you with the ultimate steam room experience. 


    Our steam rooms are custom-built to your specifications, ensuring optimal comfort, performance, and health benefits. 


    With our steam rooms, you can enjoy the relaxing and rejuvenating effects that steam offers, improving your overall health and wellness.

  Quality Materials Matter

What materials are used in a custom-built steam room, and what are their advantages and disadvantages?

When it comes to building a custom steam room, there are several materials that can be used. The most common materials include tile, glass, and metal. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the right one will depend on your preferences and budget.

    Tile is a popular material for steam room walls and floors because it is durable and easy to clean. 


    Ceramic and porcelain tiles are both good options, as they are resistant to moisture and heat. 


    Glass is another popular material for steam rooms, as it creates a sleek, modern look and allows for natural light to flow through the space. 


    However, glass can be expensive and difficult to install.


    Metal is also commonly used in steam rooms, especially for framing and door. Stainless steel and aluminium are both good options, as they are resistant to rust and corrosion. 


    However, metal can be less visually appealing than other materials and may require more maintenance to keep it looking its best.


    It's important to work with a professional when choosing materials for your custom steam room, as they can help you make informed decisions based on your specific needs and preferences. 


    With the right materials and expert guidance, you can create a beautiful and functional steam room that enhances your home and improves your overall health and wellness.

    One of the essential parts of steam room maintenance is ensuring proper ventilation.

FAQS

Here are answers to some common questions. 

  • Are home sauna's expensive to run?

    The cost of running a home sauna can vary depending on several factors, including the type of sauna, its size, how frequently it's used, and local energy prices. Here are some considerations:


    Type of Sauna:


    Traditional saunas typically use electric heaters or wood stoves, while infrared saunas use infrared heaters. Infrared saunas are often considered more energy-efficient.

    The energy efficiency of the sauna's heating elements can impact operating costs.

    Size and Insulation:


    A larger sauna may require more energy to heat, so the size of the sauna matters.

    The insulation of the sauna also plays a role. A well-insulated sauna retains heat more effectively, potentially reducing energy consumption.

    Frequency of Use:


    The more often you use the sauna, the higher the operational costs. If the sauna is used infrequently, it won't contribute as much to your energy bill.

    Energy Prices:


    The cost of electricity or other energy sources in your location will influence the overall expense of running a sauna.

    Energy Efficiency Measures:


    Some saunas come with energy-saving features, such as timers and thermostats, allowing you to control when and how long the sauna operates.

    Local Climate:


    In colder climates, the sauna may need to work harder to reach and maintain the desired temperature, potentially increasing energy costs.

    To get a more accurate estimate of the cost to run a home sauna, you can:


    Check the sauna manufacturer's specifications for energy consumption.

    Monitor your energy usage using a smart meter if available.

    Consider consulting with an electrician to assess your specific electrical setup and costs.

    In general, the operational cost of a home sauna is unlikely to be exorbitant, especially if used judiciously. Energy-efficient models and proper usage practices can help minimize expenses.

  • Are home sauna's worth it?

    Whether a home sauna is worth it depends on individual preferences, lifestyle, and budget. Here are some factors to consider when evaluating the worth of a home sauna:


    Health Benefits:


    Saunas are known for potential health benefits, including relaxation, stress reduction, improved circulation, and muscle relaxation. If these benefits align with your health and wellness goals, a home sauna could be worth considering.

    Convenience:


    Having a sauna at home offers the convenience of using it whenever you want, without the need to travel to a gym or spa. If you value the convenience of having access to a sauna on your own schedule, it may be worth the investment.

    Privacy:


    Home saunas provide privacy, allowing you to enjoy the experience without sharing the space with others. If privacy is important to you, a home sauna could be a valuable addition.

    Usage Frequency:


    Consider how often you are likely to use the sauna. If you anticipate regular use, the investment may be more justified compared to occasional or infrequent use.

    Budget:


    Evaluate your budget and the cost of installing and operating a home sauna. There are various types of saunas available at different price points, so finding one that fits your budget is essential.

    Space:


    Ensure you have adequate space for a sauna installation. Consider whether it fits seamlessly into your home without compromising other important areas.

    Resale Value:


    While not a primary consideration, adding a home sauna might increase the resale value of your property, as some potential buyers may see it as a desirable feature.

    Energy Costs:


    Factor in the ongoing operational costs, such as electricity or other energy sources required to run the sauna. Consider energy-efficient models to minimize long-term costs.

    Ultimately, the decision to invest in a home sauna is a personal one. If the health benefits, convenience, and other factors align with your preferences and lifestyle, a home sauna could be a worthwhile investment. However, it's important to carefully consider the upfront and ongoing costs before making a decision.

  • Which sauna is best for home?

    When choosing the ideal sauna for your home, several factors such as preferences, available space, budget, and desired features come into play. 


    There are two primary types of home saunas: traditional saunas and infrared saunas. Let's explore these options and introduce a third choice—the hybrid sauna.


    Traditional Saunas:


    Heating Mechanism: Traditional saunas utilize electric heaters or wood stoves to warm the air inside the sauna.

    Experience: Providing a classic sauna experience, traditional saunas feature high temperatures and low humidity. Users often enhance the experience by pouring water on hot rocks to create steam.

    Installation: Typically requiring professional installation, traditional saunas may demand more dedicated space due to ventilation and other considerations.


    Infrared Saunas:


    Heating Mechanism: Infrared saunas use infrared heaters that directly heat the body. These heaters emit infrared light, which is absorbed by the skin, offering a gentler and more comfortable heat compared to traditional saunas.


    Experience: Operating at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, infrared saunas still deliver similar health benefits.


     They are favoured by individuals who may find the intense heat of traditional saunas uncomfortable.


    Installation: Infrared saunas are generally easier to install and often come in pre-built units or kits suitable for home assembly. They can be more portable than traditional saunas.


    Hybrid Saunas:


    Heating Mechanism: Hybrid saunas combine the best of both worlds, featuring a traditional heater and infrared sauna elements. This allows users to enjoy a range of temperatures and experiences.


    Experience: With a hybrid sauna, you have the flexibility to choose between the classic high-temperature sauna experience and the milder, more direct heat of infrared. 


    This versatility caters to a broader range of preferences.


    Installation: Installation requirements may vary, but the hybrid sauna often provides a compromise between the installation complexities of traditional saunas and the simplicity of infrared units.


    When deciding on the best sauna for your home, carefully consider your preferences, available space, and budget. 


    The hybrid sauna option adds a layer of flexibility, allowing you to enjoy different sauna experiences within the comfort of your home.
