Just fit a shower into a small roomwith no windows doors or extraction and
you have a turkish sauna, not the dry heat your after, for that replace
shower with a whopping big radiator

Alternatively, fit a proper steam cabinet.

Two weeks time, I am having a new bathroom fitted. The design includes
a steam cabinet.

It is basically a very very large shower cubical that has a shower
head in the ceiling and mini jet nozzles all the way down the wall.

The unit has a control panel on the outside of the cabinet to set
temperatures etc. It then has a water proof remote control that you
can take into the shower to switch between the steam cabinet,
conventional shower and "car wash" shower type modes.

Alternatively, some manufacturers do a combined steam cabinet,shower
and sauna.

Although I did not order from this company, I found a very good web
site that gave me some ideas:

Hi Graham,
Care to spill the beans on your source for the materials then please?
I'm about 6 months away from installing a new shower unit so the
thought of a
steam cabinet sounds delicious at this stage!
The URL you quoted looks good, the prices made me gulp somewhat.
There must be a cheap source from the scandinavian countries that could
supply
the kit cheaper than UK prices - or is that just wishful thinking?

I'm using City Bathrooms in Coventry.

They have a very large showroom with numerous designs to choose from.

I'm having the whole bathroom completely gutted. All existing tiles
removed and plaster removed back to the brickwork. New ceiling,
flooring and glass bowl type sinks. Total cost, including steam
cabinet is £8,500.

The steam cabinet was about £1,400. on its own.
