Both sauna and steam rooms provide noteworthy health benefits, so the healthiest option comes down to your personal needs and preferences. Saunas use dry heat that penetrates deeply to flush toxins, boost circulation, ease joint pain, and promote muscle recovery after workouts. Steam rooms feature moist heat and humidity ideal for respiratory relief, hydrating skin, loosening tight muscles, and calming the mind. Those prone to congestion may favor steam while athletes may prefer sauna’s deep tissue penetration. For the ultimate experience, many wellness enthusiasts install a custom combo sauna-steam room to enjoy sequential dry and wet heat therapies. Our consultants can advise which option (or dual sanctuary) caters best to your wellness goals after learning more about your priorities.

Moist Heat – The warm humid environment of a steam room is better for respiratory benefits, loosening congestion, and promoting skin hydration and healthy collagen. The moist heat also penetrates joints more effectively.

Lower Temps – Steam rooms typically range from 40-50°C while saunas average 70-100°C. Those who cannot withstand intense heat may find steam rooms more tolerable.

Aromatherapy – Steam rooms allow essential oil infusions into the air for greater relaxation and healing effects.

Overall, steam rooms provide more targeted therapy for breathing issues, skin/complexion goals, arthritis relief, and relaxing amid enchanting fragrances. However, the deeply cleansing sweat achieved in high-temperature saunas also has advantages. Our experts would be happy to advise you on which experience aligns best with your wellness objectives after learning more about your needs.

Yes, it is recommended to use the sauna before the steam room during wellness sessions. Spending 10-15 minutes sweating in the intense dry heat of a sauna first allows you to flush toxins from your pores. Then moving to the steam room, the moist heat can better absorb into the open pores to hydrate the skin, relax muscles, and support healthy respiration. The steam temperature will also feel comfortable after priming your body in the hotter sauna. Just be sure to shower between the two to rinse off sweat before entering the steam room. Allow your body to air dry as well rather than toweling off to maximize moisture absorption. Our experts can guide you on the ideal sequences and duration in our dual sauna-steam room installations.

Generally, installing a premium custom steam room is more expensive than a comparable quality sauna. Some key reasons behind the higher costs include:

• Steam room generators tend to be pricier than sauna heaters.
• Steam rooms require extensive waterproofing and floor drains.
• More complex mechanical humidity controls and air circulation systems.
• Ongoing water costs for the steam generator.

That said, a small infrared sauna can be cheaper than some basic steam room options. For large-scale luxury installations, a custom steam room with ceramic tiling, glass walls, decorative lighting etc. will likely cost more than all but the most high-end saunas. As Dubai’s top wellness contractors for over 20 years, our designers provide transparent quotes outlining all considerations for steam rooms versus saunas based on the scale and amenities desired. Please inquire for precise project costs.

No, a steam room typically feels cooler than a sauna since it operates at a lower air temperature. An average steam room maintains an ambient climate of 40-50°C compared to the 70-100°C range found in saunas. However, steam rooms do contain warm, moist air that feels quite hot when first entering. The saturated humidity envelops the skin and permeates pores faster, providing a heating sensation that some may perceive as equally intense as a sauna initially. After a few minutes of adjustment, the steam room promotes relaxation at more tolerable temperatures than a sauna session might allow. The cooling sensation of steam may also feel more pleasurable for those utilizing both dry and wet heat therapies in tandem. Ultimately, the experience comes down to personal preference.

Using a steam room every day is generally not recommended. While steam therapy provides numerous benefits for respiratory health, circulation, stress relief, and more, daily usage can end up drying out your skin and hair over time if sessions are too long. It’s best to limit steam room exposure to 3-4 times per week for 15-20 minutes per session. This allows your body to reap the wellness rewards of moist heat without negatively impacting skin or hair health. Be sure to shower after each use as well and moisturize. For those with congestion issues, sinus rinses or saline sprays post-steam can help prolong the relief in between steam room days while avoiding dryness. Moderation is key to maintain balance. Our experts can further advise on ideal steam room usage frequency and maintenance for your needs.
