As with whirlpools, more and more homeowners are incorporating saunas and steam units in their master baths. New contemporary designs are being built that can be installed in the bathroom in just over an hour. Convertible models that include both sauna and steam in the same cabinet are becoming quite popular.

Aromatherapy is gaining support in the medical community, and steam units are ideal for this treatment. Some units include a special steam nozzle that accepts and atomizes aromatic oils. Automatic drains clean the generator unit after each use.

Most units include small, easy-to-use digital controls, even-temperature systems, and pre-heat features with warm-start options. Upscale benches, digital sauna heater controls, stainless heaters, and glass windows with custom lighting are popular options. High style and customization are becoming de rigueur.

People want the advantages of a health club in their home. Steam offers multiple benefits, from clearing sinuses to toning the skin; it also provides relief for sore muscles after a workout. Now that these units have become a lot more affordable builders are installing them in more and more homes.

People will still fly to the desert or the tropics for their health, but when they come home, a piece of where they just visited will be waiting for them.
