Steam shower

12 years ago

My builder doesn't offer steam showers as an option, however the shower will have a bench and is enclosed by three walls. One if the walks will have a 3x4 window. How difficult will it be to convert to a steam shower down the line?

Retrofit an existing shower to a steam shower will depend on the access around the shower. It could be relatively easy or very complicated. Plumbing might prove challenging but the glass enclosure should be easy. Your GC should be able to tell you, he would know the job best.

Also make sure your walls, ceiling and floor were water/vapor proof under the tile.
