What Is a Steam Generator?

Steam Generators for Raleigh Steam Showers

A steam generator is the equipment that produces steam for an enclosed steam shower. The correct generator is selected based on factors such as the size of the enclosure, wall and surface materials, ceiling height, and the performance level desired for the project.

Raleigh Custom Saunas offers different steam generator models for residential and commercial steam shower projects throughout Raleigh and the Triangle. We can help determine the appropriate generator for the planned steam enclosure and supply the equipment for installation by the contractors and licensed trades completing the project.

Choosing the Right Generator

Properly Sized for Your Steam Shower

Steam generators are available in multiple sizes and configurations, and choosing the right unit is important for consistent steam production and comfortable operation.

Generator selection begins with the dimensions of the steam enclosure. The materials used inside the shower can also affect the amount of steam capacity required because surfaces such as natural stone may absorb more heat than lighter materials.

We can review the planned steam shower specifications and help identify a generator that fits the project. In many cases, we work with the homeowner's general contractor, bathroom contractor, or other building professional who is constructing the enclosure.

Raleigh Custom Saunas currently supplies steam generators rather than constructing complete steam rooms. Waterproofing, tile work, plumbing, electrical work, glass, ventilation, and the construction of the steam enclosure are completed by the appropriate contractor or licensed trade.
